New video!
In 2005, FlyingShine released Swan Song - a visual novel that at first looks like any other disaster story. But within it is hope for humanity, sympathy for the unwanted, and a call for empathy. It's time for a revisit, 20 years later.

I'm doing research on NSFW-friendly storefront alternatives, mostly focused on games, but I'm also keeping creators who do books, comics, artbooks, etc. in mind. It sucks to keep packing your bags and moving but I know folks are looking for options.

regular reminder that it's very useful to indie devs if you review their games on steam, especially if their games have less than 10 reviews.
games can't have positive ratings on steam until they hit the 10 review mark, and they get a boost in discoverability when they hit this threshold 🙏

Nintendo's seemingly happy to let the eShop rot, the AI eWaste wasn't enough now we just have straight up copyright infringement. With the next console backward compatible, this crap can't be allowed to continue.
This new release on the right, come on.

Indie devs: PLEASE feature the names of your artists(s) somewhere on your game's page! I'm seeing so many games with (suspected) AI art these days, and I don't have the time to spend researching to confirm or disprove it. Make it easy for people to appreciate human-made art!!!

I don't normally do this because I dislike asking for money, but my website host increased their fees to £288 for J-Entranslations and Jtalkonline. I don't have ads and paid hosting out of own pocket for 10 years. But if anyone can help this time, I'd really appreciate it.
