I don’t remember how I first learned of Long Live the Queen, beyond I was interested in trying visual novels and it was a title that came up in that search. This indie game is seemingly simple: fourteen-year-old Elodie’s mother has passed, and she now must prepare to ascend the […]
I picked up Amnesia: Memories as it was a frequent entry on lists recommending good visual novel and otome games. The description sounded pretty good, sounding similar to Cinderella Phenomenon which I loved, so when Amnesia went on sale, I picked it up. The basic premise is that “you” the main […]
A few goals done, a few new ones added that are branched off of the other goals, and made a little progress on a few. Kind of wanted to make more progress on some, but still, not a horrible month. I’m thinking next year though I’m going to redo how […]
I picked up The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav on sale from Steam, in part because its sequel, Memoria, caught my eye while I was exploring indie adventure and point & click games. As I tend to like to get the whole story, and the male MC of Memoria, Geron, is […]

To improve performance on our apps, we’ve been working on a combination of optimizing queries to require fewer additional calls just to get a single bit of data (like the name of who added a record) and using caching to access data that doesn’t change frequently. For example, core pick […]
