Not at GDC today, as I'm sitting across the pond working on my visual novel, The Hayseed Knight! The next chapter will be released this Friday, and I just can't wait to share it with the fantastic community of itch.io!

It's the first time I post here, but I've been lurking for a while now. Many times I've felt in the past that, since I'm making a visual novel all on my own, with nothing but my own money to go by, it didn't really count as a true "game", nor was I a dev consequently, but the people I've stumbled upon here have made me feel nothing but welcome! Hopefully I'll have a chance to meet y'all in person in GDC one day!

Just finished playing "The Alpha Device" and really Visual Novels as you call them are becoming quite a nice trend on the indie game scene.  There are a lot of small studios like yours here on Itchio and many of us develop using our own art due to budget and the love of creation process.
