>>497793The deals are mediocre. It feels like the festival's real purpose is to promote upcoming titles more than anything else. The runner's own upcoming game is in the top broadcasting spot.
She works as a VN marketer on the side alongside working on her own titles. I don't think she's being insidious or anything but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'm working on my own game and read her marketing articles before. Maybe I'm just petty.

>PC is unpopular with Japanese companies so can't expect much from there>promoted in English, so there's a language barrier with non-english devs/pubs (a couple of Chinese-only games are there though, 灾厄黑龙与谎言公主 looks really nice). >Even considering OELVN there are gaps, maybe some devs are inactive or didn't want to participate for whatever reasonAlso the event's definition of Otome doesn't include that the primary audience should be female, so pic rel is promoted since "you can play as a girl" (tbf this is the only egregious entry I found, it's pretty funny that the "trans men otome game" is under "features not-men" though).
This event reminded me that I have a backlog of demos to try so maybe I'll post about the more interesting ones here.
