Ah, it’s gotten a bit dusty around here hasn’t it? As I said a while back, we are slowly getting things back to regular order here. And while I do enjoy the ease of just updating the homepage with New Releases, the time has come to return to regularly highlighting the newest entries into the community. So, […]
The concept of a civilization has various appearances in the pages of history, but usually follows a few noticeable guidelines. Those guidelines are how to keep its people fed, how to ensure some sense of order and on how to care for those people who, for whatever reason, cannot function in established society. That last […]
A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine decided that I was experiencing far too much happiness in my life and sent me a link to Winged Cloud’s next big “hit”: Sakura Agent. As the cold drained from my body, leaving behind a void to be filled, I stumbled across a picture of the […]
If I had one nerdish obsession other than my books and Yoko Kanno’s entire discography that I could point to as a defining point for my cultural and entertainment preferences, it would be Batman. From the massive animated universe lorded over by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm that nurtured my boyhood mind, to the graphic […]
It’s always interesting to watch a creator’s Id clash with their logical mind. It’s an argument I’ve often had a front seat to here at VNs Now and one that becomes more fascinating with time. Most developers fully embrace their Id whenever they work on something ‘non-serious’ and it leads to some rather interesting pieces […]

Nope, I’m talking about the operations of this small corner of the Internet. Life put this website on the […]
If visual novel developers had a patron deity, I’m convinced it would be a God or Goddess of Love. For this particular corner of the Internet, love in all of its forms is the most consistent theme for most Visual Novels in existence. From the bonds of friendship that can be seen in something like […]
At the exact same time as most of my social media feeds were gushing over Yuri on Ice (which I saw coming two years ago, so self-high five), I was gushing over what is the best original Netflix series to date: The Crown. Beyond the phenomenal cinematography and sublime acting, one thing that drew me […]
Hey guys. So, originally I had planned to do a full analysis video of the first trailer for the Ghost in the Shell live-action film. However, a couple of things hindered that. The first is that I had a pretty long day before I got back to the HQ and when I did come back, […]
I have mixed feelings when it comes to Japanese developer Goichi Suda: more popularly known as Suda51. Like many artists, Suda has a hard time focusing on the substance of his work and, more often than not, opts for style whenever he has the opportunity. This has led me to avoid his work more often […]
