Hi, I'm Naarel, and I don't know how to promo myself! I'm a VN/IF dev guy behind Oneironverse, Passerine Hills, the Lights series and a couple of more personal works (like "i won't finish this game" or "te/ra/to/ma"). Check out my work at naarel.itch.io

the patreon is one of my few income streams right now (the others being comms and my itchio/steam works.) if you want a quick and easy way to support the violence series, this is it.
it helps me buy plugins, compensate people who work with me and support myself with basic necessities!

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results
that human element elevates the work

Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

Casual reminder to never give reviews of artists to paypal, EVEN POSITIVE ONES; theres zero benefit to it and puts both you and them at risk
If you want to say something positive about the artists work then either say it directly to them NOT THROUGH PAYPAL, or recommend them to all your friends

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.
