This is a great reference, though I personally only do the bare minimum (dailies, that's it) π I didn't even know there was a limit on bling and insight π

I see, I hadn't considered that some of the mechanics would be harder for mobile players π€
The main reason for my complaint is that the fights feel way too short if you play them perfectly, you don't even get to listen to the entire soundtrack once when the boss goes down π had this especially when fighting

Chigda. The soundtrack is incredible, but he goes down before you've even seen all the mechanics.
I honestly didn't realize how much I've been missing a proper AAA girly game on PC until I played infinikki. I'd been using FFXIV to scratch that fashion itch until then, but a proper dress-up game is just better :,) Also I will go out and say the puzzle design and encounter design is so much more interesting than that of comparable titles such as genshin impact (I just wish the fights were harder)!
Seconding this, but thanks for the heads up, this is how I found out about the update!
I need more people to play otDevil so we can talk about it _(:3γβ )_
When I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited π₯°
The two guys on the front have very narrow and longs faces^^; purple dude got hit the worst
There already is a review by otomekitten btw!
GDoc Expo is all about uplifting talented developers with perspectives and stories that otherwise don't get a lot of attention in mainstream gamedev circles and media otherwise. That's why it's important to support events like these.
If you would like, you can check out the hundreds of other gamedev events on gameconfguide! Why not participate in #notGDC this year? It's free, open for everyone, and there's a low barrier of entry π
we discussed this over in !otomegames@ani.social 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.
I honestly have trouble coming up with specific tropes I like π As long as the character has depth and is well-written (and doesn't have any of my personal squicks) then I'm game π€
