I just added a small new feature to fvn.li

You can now set a release time for download links, to control when they should appear on your project's page. Input is in your local time.

Thanks to @wayfinderlavan.bsky.social for the idea.

Screenshot of a form section titled “Downloads.” It shows one entry labeled “Link 1” with a trash can icon for deletion. The form includes fields for link name, platform, URL, and an optional release date and time. The link name is “TEST LINK,” the platform dropdown is set to “Web,” and the URL field contains “https://www.google.com.” The release date and time field shows “10/10/2025 02:05” and is labeled as optional. Beneath it, small text reads: “Leave empty to make the download available immediately. The download will automatically appear when the release time is reached.”

Page editing is now online on fnv.li. This is a beta beta feature, expect bugs.

Once you've authenticated with your itch.io account, go to the detail page of your project, and click on edit to customize the page content.

You can click on "Disable Custom Page" to reset everything.

Game page for "After Passion" showing a thumbnail with two anthropomorphic characters, platform icons, NSFW label, developer names, and buttons for syncing, editing, and enabling a custom page. Screenshot of the fvn.li image upload interface for the project description section. It shows three selected image files with filenames and file sizes. A blue info box below states: “Note: This section is for uploading images to include in your description text. Screenshots are managed separately in the main gallery section below.” The interface supports PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP formats up to 10MB each. Screenshot of an image selection dialog with a dark blue interface. The header reads "Select an Image" with instructions to click on an image or upload a new one. Two thumbnails are visible. Screenshot of a rich text editor in "Edit" mode with a section titled "Game Description." The editor contains a centered image of a an okapi wearing sunglasses and lounging on lettering spelling "Akiba". Below the image is italicized text that reads: "The grand adventures have already been had. An epilogue to a story that hasn’t been written." Formatting options (bold, italic, alignment, etc.) are visible at the top of the editor, and the interface uses a dark theme. A "Preview" toggle is available next to the "Edit" tab.

I just added links tracking and reporting to fvn.li. Project page visits, clicks to visit the itch.io page, as well as clicks on custom links are now getting tracked and reported.

"Unique" clicks counts clicks per user only once per 24 hours, while "Total" counts every single one.

Screenshot of the analytics dashboard from fvn.li showing data for the past 30 days. The top left summary shows: 1 Page View, 0 itch.io Visits, and 1 Download. Below, a line chart titled "Analytics Overview" displays data points for Page Views (blue), itch.io Visits (purple), and Downloads (green) from June 28 to July 27. Only the last day (July 27) shows activity, with 1 page view and 1 download. Below the chart, key insights indicate: 0% of page viewers visited the itch.io page, 100% of page viewers downloaded the game, “TEST LINK” is the most popular download, and the page averaged 0.1 unique views per day that week. The last page view occurred 14 seconds ago.

I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of this. I recommend all of you to give it a read as it dives into the livelihoods of creators affected by the deindexing.

Thanks again @radiantg.bsky.social for letting me be a part of this.

So many new sprites for Wayfinder, can't wait to add them all in!
Here's a preview! Wonder who she could be?

Link to Wayfinder in my bio!

#FurryVN #Wolf #Giant #Furry #Gay #VisualNovel #Mother
An anthropomorphic wolf woman with light brown fur and hazel-colored eyes, stout stature and arrogant expression who is dressed elegantly as though she came straight from a dance in the early 1930s, red dress with a large pearl necklace and various pearl adornments as well as a red transparent shawl draped over her arms. It is digital painted art, writing this feels like an AI prompt tbh

I'll just plug this as it has a bunch of fun features I've been enjoying for a while - e.g a script to check itch reviews and the like.

My furry visual novel index FVN.li got a small UX improvement. It's now possible to manage list entries and notification settings right from the main game list, instead of having to go to each individual detail page.

Thanks to @loudo.bsky.social for the suggestion.

Screenshot from FVN.li showcasing six in-development visual novels with NSFW content. Each card includes game title, developer, tags (e.g. furry, gay, romance), engine (mostly Ren'Py), platforms, word count, release/update dates, review stats, and rating. Games shown are Solstice Eve, In Finite Space, Golden Coast Saga, By Your Hands, Love, War & Peace, and Hero’s Advent. At the bottom of each card are two buttons: a blue “Manage in Lists” button for organizing favorites or backlogs, and a toggle-style “Receive notifications” button to stay informed on updates.

Hope you all find your way!

Three chibi anthro wolf bois walk with cake and balloons under a banner saying "Happy 2nd Anniversary Wayfinder!". One wolf has dark brown fur and amber-colored eyes, with a snazzy executive-type outfit. One has lighter brown fur and jade-colored eyes, with an athletic outfit. The last wolf has pure white fur with azure-colored eyes and a goth-cozy outfit.

On the upside, it allows me to bring this pretty gay pedestrian crossing to you, enjoy.
