The first site to respond was Indiegala, but today I received a response from Grant Hughes […]
Well it’s March and the tickets for AnimeFest in Dallas have gone up a bit. However, that shouldn’t stop you (yes, YOU) from attending the convention this coming Summer. Not only can you meet a bunch of visual novel developers, but there will be several guests form the anime industry to offer their own insight […]
