Rest in peace! 😢 Yorhel was such a kind person, and I’m so grateful for how much he helped me when I was just starting out translating visual novels into German.
RPGFan@rpgfan.bsky.social · 5mo agoYorhel, the founder of Visual Novel Database (VNDB) and open source contributor, has sadly passed away. It's thanks to their work that the VN community was able to find so many overseas fans. (And TIL it was Ever17 that inspired it all – a fine choice if there was one). RIP. News: vndb.org/t24787
