If you're a voice actor, you have a little over a week to sign up for my roster!

I am looking to work with more talented folks for my upcoming visual novel projects, especially those who are LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. 💕
I've recently gotten inquiries from VAs about a talent roster. So, I decided to make a sign-up!

Sign-ups will last until April 30th. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me here or through email!

I just made the first prerelease of Ren'Py 8.3.5, a fix release of Ren'Py intended to support everyone working on NaNoRenO 2025 projects.

You can grab the prerelease from https://www.renpy.org/release/8.3.5, and if you do let me know how it's working.
