Have you always wanted to play a visual novel featuring lesbian romances? Starlight Vega may be the game for you...

While recording the latest episode of The Nichiest Podcast Ever early last week, Anne (Lee, of the Chic Pixel blog) took the opportunity to educate shidoshi and I about an in-the-works visual novel (for PC) that will feature lesbian romances--an unfortunate oddity when it comes to this particular gaming genre.

That alone makes this game, called Starlight Vega, worth discussing, but what makes it doubly so--in my opinion, at least--is that it actually looks like it could wind up being pretty darn good.



I especially like its art style, which appealingly straddles the line between what's traditionally found in Japanese visual novels and what's usually created by your typical Western illustrator.

Starlight Vega's Kickstarter--which wraps up on May 22--surpassed its initial goal ages ago, but some of you may still want to invest in it given that its final stretch goal would allow for the creation of additional endings (including a "harem" one).

If you'd like to learn more about Starlight Vega, I'd suggest checking out its Kickstarter page, its official site, its Tumblr or its Twitter feed.

It's always great to see these projects flourish. It is an enigma that there are so few lesbian themed VNs out there. Then again, a majority of VNs from the east are usually guy trying to get the girl, or yaoi stereotypical affair. Sure there are a few stand outs, but they usually end up so few and far between. It's just really nice to see some new takes here and there. VNs are very quickly rising in popularity in the west.

Hello again, Inganno! Yes, I agree that it's great to see
efforts like this one given the rarity of lesbian-themed VNs. Here's hoping the
finished product is as fun to play as it seems it's going to be!

I'm glad that you like this, Bryan! It was totally coincidence that I noticed it before our recording, but it was pretty good timing all and all ;) I actually really like that they've decided to make it more focused and only have three main characters - hopefully that means they can really make them shine without worrying about having a ton of romance options

Oh, yeah, I definitely like it, Anne--or at least the idea of it! It doesn't seem to be far enough along for us to know if it'll be any good in the end, but I hope it will be. Anyway, thanks for letting me and shidoshi know about it!
