Yeah - most Holoindies are made by prior devs. On the talent front, though - I did see Machina X Flayon work on his own RPGMaker backstory game, though- and I know Houshou Marine had similar experience with a highschool project she had.

I think one YouTuber who does game development/behind the scenes bugs videos that I really like is Skawo. He usually does playthroughs of Nintendo games, but when he does a behind-the-scenes deep dive, his videos are well-presented and well-edited. Might be worth looking through his stuff - or anyone else who's worked with The Cutting Room Floor!

Yeah, I'd love an organization that would connect people from different fields... The US has some, but it's not quite on the level of people making doujin circles in Japan LOL.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you liked my interactive portfolio. I also fixed the issues with the description link on this page.

Thank you also for pointing out the issues with my website's carousel. Carbonmade (the portfolio builder I use) is a bit fiddly, but if it means making my work more accessible to others I'll gladly update this issue.

As for the VTuber pitch angle of things... existing Hololive EN members have made games (Machina X Flayon and Amelia Watson come to mind), but I wanted to position myself as a gamedev-centric VTuber. So, creating videos on making games, hosting official Hololive game jams, and promoting HoloIndies on behalf of the company.

I think my future YouTube career will be a combination of posting creative work I've made (new game trailers, animations, animatic) and potentially video essays? I'm not abandoning the idea of using my avatar for it - but I'd struggle to call myself a VTuber because I don't see myself aligning with the VTuber career path anymore. I guess my avatar would be more like... a rantsona with extra steps LOL

Thank you so much for the awesome review! I'm glad you liked how the story progressed - on top of the voice acting. Everyone worked incredibly hard for this project, and I'm glad their efforts paid off. :>

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad protoViolence resonated with you.

thank you - i'm glad you enjoyed the game!

if you haven't already, why not give the prequel a try as well? it provides even more depth to Cautionne and Dr. Danger.

thank you so much! i'm glad bad faith could resonate with you. :>

:) Indeed it is!

Yeah, a lot of that was my fault. -_-; When I was coding the keyword system for this game, I accidentally made it case-sensitive. Which is why you might be experiencing what you did.

I guess I'll spoil the gimmick now - but while the other endings are obtainable, Bel will always get rejected from the job. Your performance in the interview will influence Bel's thoughts on how well she did, not the actual results of the interview. 

So your comment about it being a piece about 2025 job hunting hell isn't off at all.

Thank you very much! I'm glad it left an impact on you.

Thank you so much for playing and enjoying protoViolence! I'm glad you both got a lot out of it. ^u^

I'm very excited for what I have in store next, so please look forward to it...

Just fixed this bug! 

Thank you so much for playing Bad Faith! I'm glad it made an impact on you - especially the villains. :>

AAAAH thank you!!!!! I'm very glad malViolence could leave such a big impact on you!

If you liked that I definitely think you'll like protoViolence too. Shall not say more than that. ;>

Thank you so much - I'm glad Bad Faith could leave an impact on you like this (and it's awesome to hear you and your friend read it together!)

I hope you enjoy the Violence series too. :3c Excited to hear your thoughts!

Thank you! :') I'm glad this game made you feel less alone.

The text input doesn't work for the web version, but it does work for the downloadable version (which is why I recommend playing that version for the full experience.) I tried investigating that glitch for the web version, and I couldn't find any solutions...

It doesn't work for the web version, but it does work for the downloadable version (which is why I recommend playing that version for the full experience.) I have no idea why it got so finicky there... 

Thank you, though!

Thank you! I'm glad you got the hang of it after a few tries... 

If I had more time, I would've made the instructions a little more obvious - but I'm glad the intended job interview experience came across, haha.

Ain't that the truth... :') Thank you!

*handshakes* Part time/freelance hell is so real... For me this has been going on for 3 years (and since I graduated from uni), so I really feel you. ;_;

thank you so much!! i'm very very glad you enjoyed it. ^u^

if you like the camera movements and textbox stuff, you'll definitely like the violence series too (malviolence and especially protoviolence.) they have even stronger scene direction!

Thank you so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed malViolence!

If you're interested in learning more about this cast of characters, may I direct you to its prequel, protoViolence?

ack, i'm so sorry for the late response! i'll repost the comic on bluesky when i get back from my holiday (which should be... at the end of this week).

hello hi! apologies for the late reply. could you tell me more about this issue? i downloaded the guide file just to check and all of the files i got were there…

if that doesn’t work this steam guide may help

god i love this. the blend between sensual scenes and disquieting behavior from the people within this work is top-notch: fitting for a story that explores different types of objectification.  

i love how their attitudes towards mari-ko reflect their underlying attitudes towards the real women in their lives - esp with the implication that the mari-ko throughout all three stories is the same model. it's *chefs kiss.* gonna be thinking these short stories for a loooong long time (esp ratna's repair. the mechabare scenes are gorgeous.)

yes, this is the only escape room game i've made! i mainly focus on visual novels. :o (and thank you!)

oh, i've just fixed that issue. sorry, that was a problem on my end! i needed to fix some filenames. if you're planning on leaving a steam review, you should be able to now.

anyway, i'm glad you enjoyed this vn! the epistolary parts are great, aren't they? :3c

Thank you for playing protoViolence!

I'm happy that Deidre's relationship with Pavel/Cautionne was strengthened for you here. When me and my team were developing protoViolence, we really wanted the game to add meat to their bond, something that was only briefly discussed in malViolence. So I'm glad all of us delivered on that front, as well as making the VN an immersive, cinematic experience.

If you're curious about Cautionne's story and where it'll go next... please stay tuned! I am working on things behind-the-scenes. :3c

Thank you so much!! I'm very excited that you're spreading word of the Violence series to your friends... it means a huge amount to me as its creator. ;w; (And I'm glad you love the cast too!)

I hope you do give protoViolence a try - especially if you liked Dr. Danger as much as you did.

Thank you for playing Bad Faith! I'm glad it left an impact on you - and that you liked the art too.

SPOILERS

For the diary part - Grace read her entire diary, but what upset her were the intense entries Magda wrote when she was in a mentally distressed state. The prior entries were much tamer.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed your time with malViolence. :>

As for the voice/forwarding issue, malViolence was made before protoViolence, so me and my team hadn't perfected the system that timed voicelines with written dialogue. I apologize for that!

Thank you for the incredibly kind words (and thoughtful analysis) on protoViolence! I'm glad it left such a big impact on you. ;w;

I don't know if you've played it yet, but if you're curious to find out what happens next with Pavel and Deidre... protoViolence does have a sequel.

Wahoo!!! I hope you enjoy my later titles. :3c

Thank you, thank you!!! I'm glad you enjoyed this little piece. I learned a lot about Ren'Py's 3D camera from making it, and now I use it in all of my VN projects. :>

Thank you - I'm glad you got the Intended Bad Faith experience.
For the last thing, I apologize. I wanted to capture the feeling of characters having their dialogue cut off by other people, but I realize now it does hurt readability on max speeds. If it helps, I fix this issue in my later games... ;w;

Thank you for the kind words!! I'm glad protoViolence left an impact on you.

With your questions... I'll say this. You're not the first person to ask about Cautionne's name, or about what happens in between protoViolence and malViolence. Keep your eyes peeled.

Thank you, thank you!! I'm SO sorry for replying so late, my brain has been all over the place. But I'm glad you enjoyed malViolence as much as you did with protoViolence!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you could get around to playing malViolence and meeting Cautionne. :> I'm happy you got a kick out of the lore too. 

I hope you enjoy protoViolence when you get to it. It's tonally different from malViolence, but you'll get to know a certain character much better...

I'm glad Bad Faith could leave a deep impact on you!! (I need to listen to this song myself..........)

Yeah, this title really does lean more on the "visual novel" side of things.

If you want a game I directed that does have those elements (of exploring and making choices), you might like the Violence series, especially malViolence. Those titles are more involved.

Awesome, thank you!!!
