Physical editions of my games would be so fun actually lol I could just compile my short games and label it "The Heartsync Collection"
here's what people have to say about "everything in their hands" (so far): - "thank you for making this, and also how dare you." - "a masterclass in mixing mediums" - "(...) almost cosmic horror about how easily everything we are can be eroded" read it here: nullaboxes.itch.io/shell-game
everything in their hands by Coral Nulla, Naarel

Okay, I did it! I'm now offering translations/localizations for games. At the moment I'll only offer translations for visual novels and RPG Maker games. I put a general rate but it's still negotiable (as long as I don't get offered peanuts for translating an extremely long game).
In other news I went through the tutorial for Light.VN and was so?? Thrown off?? That it had an entire section dedicated to making rpg and side scroller elements??
Aliferious; those with wings hit 100 downloads recently, so thank you for playing my little #otome about having complicated feelings about art and creating!
