we discussed this over in [email protected] back when it was initially announced! The fandom seems to be delighted about this feature, but I’m personally more concerned about the data privacy aspect of it all…the author is absolutely right to look at this whole thing with scepticism
I find it a little far-fetched to solely link the popularity of otome games to some kind of frustration with modern dating, though. Romance games (and romance in games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3 or Mass Effect) offer a lot of fun in-and-of themselves.
Code is also part of Steam’s required AI disclosure form , so I think it should be filtered as well
I agree 100%, both look super ugly
As an alternative, there are tons of gamepad icons on freepik like this one that could be used as long as theres an attribution link in the community description.
Also here’s a quick collage I screenshotted from steamdb, feel free to use it if there aren’t any better ones by others:
I played Sacrifice for Sale, a small indie comedy/horror visual novel where you’re playing a vacuum salesman who tries to not get sacrificed by a cult. It has a huge amount of different endings, so there’s lots of replayability despite the short length. also the girls who want to kill you are pretty cute
Yesterday, I also finished playing duck detective: the secret salami and it’s pretty amazing. The voice acting is suitably over the top and the artstyle is adorable. hoping for a sequel!
When I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited 🥰
