Ren'Py Blender Publishing My Visual Novel

[Peachiy]

Hello everyone,

I'm working v0.2 of my visual novel Heart Intentions. This is my first time thoroughly checking out this website, and I have to say, I love it—the community here is amazing.

My question is, do you have any suggestions on where else I can publish my visual novel?

I don't mind sharing it for free and letting people who enjoy my work support me on Patreon if they want to.

Thank you in advance.

P.S.: I work with Blender and GIMP... Mostly open source Softwars

Itch.io is a big one, it saved my patreon page (from 99 patrons to 140+ patrons over some months), big plus if you launch your page at its best (looking all pretty, with good screenshots, and so on), even more big plus if you have a webgl build (which is as big as having android build).

Once you have a web build, newgrounds should be your next stop. Tons of potential supporters there as well.

And, of course, F95Zone. All my patrons for 5+ years have been from here, and at one point I reached almost 200.

You can also advertise your game on reddit, for a complete list (100+ subreddits) check my guide on how to make a game linked in my signature, at the end of the thread, I posted a list of subreddits where you can advertise your game (+ a few more websites).

I didn't mention Itch because my visual novel doesn't show up when you search for it by name you can only find it by using a direct link, and itch team didn't respond to my e-mail can you please share how can i fix it?

can you please share how can i fix it?

No idea, I don't work for itch.io. I assume you got shadowbanned for some reason, itch.io has a discord server, maybe you'll have more luck there.
