Ep. 51 - Nintendo Direct Queer Games + “Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced” Chat with the Dev!

I know I write this into every episode description, but this week’s episode is not-hyperbolically jam packed full of news and content!

First up, Amy-Lynn and I discuss the headlines and the surprisingly long Nintendo Direct, which had new trailers for lots of queer games!

In the second half, Ekamy, Lloyd, and I are joined by Endellion, one half of the Zorkie Studios dev team who is back to talk about the release of Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced. Known as QDRP for short, the adorable yet grim visual novel is about Jin, a psychline whose job it is to approve life-changing body modifications. Jin also has to make money to save their dying rabbit Nibbles, but will you be able to make enough money while also making the right choices for who should be approved for their body mods?

Endellion was previously a guest on True Avatars back in Ep. 28, so I recommend going back to listen to that episode as well!

 

NOTE: At one point, Endellion mentions that a 2-4 hours visual novel has a typical word count of 400K-800K words, but they actually meant 40K-80K words.

 

SPOILER WARNING: The discussion is spoiler-free until the very end of the episode (please see the timecodes below).
