fvn.li is currently down due to another hoster outage. Looks like it's time to move somewhere else. If anyone has some tips on affordable hosting, or maybe is even willing to host the site, please reach out, and let's chat.

Are you a VN dev using Ren'Py? Then I've got news for you! Closing out 2025 on a high note, the first release of my Ren'Py debugger is now out. Set breakpoints, step through your script, inspect variables. No more renpy.log() debugging at 3am. Download here: github.com/AkibaAT/renp... #FurryVN

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. #FurryVN

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. #FurryVN

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've just released an option for FVN creators to add download links to their entries on fvn.li. To manage the links, log in with your itch.io account on fvn.li, which will enable you to manage all the games belonging to your account via the user dashboard. #FurryVN

Screenshot of the fvn.li user dashboard, with the text:
Game Management: Manage your games published on itch.io. Add additional download links and update game information.
Connected: AkibaOkapi.itch.io
1 game found, 1 with download links
Button: Manage My GamesScreenshot of the fvn.li edit game view, with the game "After Passion" being edited. 3 sets of download links are shown in the example. The form fields for each set are "Link Name" (Text Input), "Platform" (Dropdown with operating systems) and "URL" (Text Input).

Above the action menu with the buttons "Save Changes" and "Cancel" is a warning box with the content:
Important Notes:
- These links will be displayed publicly on your game's page
- Make sure all links are accessible and lead to safe downloads
- You are responsible for maintaining the availability of these links
- Use drag handles to reorder links
- Remove all links to disable the downloads sectionScreenshot of the fvn.li downloads section on a game detail page, showing 3 downloads:
- Windows logo, titled after-passion-1.0.zip, updated 14 minutes ago
- Apple logo, titled after-passion-1.0.tar.bz2, updated 14 minutes ago
- External link icon, titled after-passion.pdf, updated 14 minutes ago

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. #FurryVN

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.

Arrived at the con site in Switzerland, with a beautiful view from the hotel room. Hopefully the weather holds or even improves while we're there.
