Hi! I noticed the tagging guide seems to assume people are mostly going to post images of stuff they or someone else made.
Is there room for character design articles, and would that still be tagged [Not OC]?
I am interested in the topic despite not being an artist myself and I like to read articles.
r/otomegames has it so advertisements for other communities are all relegated to a Self-Promotion Sunday thread that nobody looks at.
I did reach out to the mods to ask if they'd be willing to do anything for this, they're not interested on moderating off of Reddit or putting this in the sidebar, so very slow organic growth it is...
I do exist on otome Discords and I talk there way more than I self-promote, but I have promoted this there and I don't think anyone has bitten yet. ;-;
I actually don't remember what taught me about Lemmy and Kbin's existence. I know it was over the API exodus, but not sure if it was a news article or a Reddit thread. It definitely wasn't someone DMing me to join, I would have taken that as spammy and annoyingly promotional and rejected it instantly. Bringing this up because if we want to grow the Fediverse it's probably worth thinking about what got us to move, and what let us even know it was an option.
Not sure where else to put this, but I appreciate ani.social for new anime/manga discovery. Sometimes I toggle on Local and look around, and I often find an anime or manga title that sounds interesting, I click it, I look it up online and maybe read some discussion here about it if applicable, and add it to my ever-growing list of stuff to read or watch.
It is also funny because I see people writing that they didn't like an anime or manga for X reason, and X reason is exactly what draws me to it. I find both positive and negative reviews pretty useful as long as you say why you (dis)liked it. You tell people what kind of content is there (often tells more than just the promo content for the anime/manga/book/film/game/whatever it is), and they can judge for themselves. I always toss over an upvote to these because they are useful on telling me if I'd like the content or not, even if the opinion they have on the work ends up being opposite to mine.
Pleased that [email protected] gained what looks like another active participant :)
Lots of downvotes on a recent post on [email protected] that regular commenters engaged with happily, so I'm wondering if it's just people seeing it on local and disliking it as typical mainstream social media fodder, or if it's subscribers who don't comment not liking it, or both. Remember all those "which pill would you take" and then there's a couple different-color pills giving you different superpowers? It was something like that, but on-topic for otome games. Kind of bewildered by that.
Have looked at other Fedi instances including Mbin for backups, didn't find one that was just centered on games. Guess it'll probably be lemmy.zip.
Just learned about this series thanks to this post. Looked it up and slapped on my to-read list, let's see if I ever get to it.
Oh wow, this was good. Glad it came across my feed. Cute illustrations too.
Hey I remember you!
Yet another reminder to me to check back up on this series. Have been looking for fresh villainess content to consume.
Good to know, thank you!
You know, now that I'm talking about this, I notice you use "Author" instead of "Artist". Do you plan on putting other stuff here too like Touhou fanfic or fangames?
Are you sure she had a hand in drawing herself? ;)
Thank you for telling me about Artificial Dream, I'll have to check it out!
Gensokyo no Nazo was fun, forget if I finished though. Started and didn't finish Satori Komeiji's Mental Education, it was cute. Bunny Love Expert was a cute and short puzzle game. Forgot how far I got on Koumajou Densetsu II: Yougen no Chingonka but it was gorgeous. I do not know if these are still here but there were a couple bullet hells I found when searching "Touhou" on the iOS App Store and I enjoyed them, and I found one freemium idler on the iOS App Store that I had a lot of fun with cheating for the premium currency and rolling the gacha with it. Might have played Touhou Luna Nights, if so it was also fun.
Took me a bit to identify her without the hat, and then I saw the shirt.
