In this episode, we welcome back Xero, the solo developer behind Bewitching Sinners and its standalone sequel Bewitching Sinners: Royal Blood. Xero talks about returning to the same dark fantasy world three years later, expanding the story into a new continent, and introducing a new protagonist caught in a dangerous web of vampires, werewolves, sirens, witches, and political intrigue.

In this episode, we talk with Glass, the solo developer behind The Boo-chelor, a chaotic, charming Halloween visual novel where a lonely ghost becomes the star of a monster dating show. Glass shares how the idea began, the inspirations behind each love interest, the reality-TV structure, the frantic joy of Spooktober development, and why players have fallen in love with Calamaria, Rex, Dave, and Jack.

We talk character design, writing comedy, dealing with scope under pressure, fan reactions, scrapped concepts, and the much-teased Jack route. If you enjoy indie visual novels, monster romance, or behind-the-scenes dev stories, this episode is packed with laughs, insight, and a whole lot of spooky charm.

The Boo-chelor proves that even the most chaotic ideas can have heart and we can’t wait for you to hear how it all came to life.

In this episode of the Otome Games Podcast, Lover’s Lens and Morig chat with Nocturne, the solo developer behind the dark fantasy otome visual novel Eternal Glory, a 270,000+ word, fully voiced game about curses, gods, and finding love with three very different divine men.

You’ll hear how Eternal Glory started as a middle school RPG Maker homework project and grew into a full commercial release, what it’s like to handle writing, coding, art and voice direction as a solo dev, and how Nocturne built a world of ministries, Reaper Corps, holy knights and wandering gods. We also meet the three love interests: Uria, Haize, and Ismei, plus the resilient heroine Anes, who refuses to be defined by her trauma.

If you love emotional romance routes, rich worldbuilding, dark fantasy vibes and slightly unhinged-but-soft love interests, this one’s for you.
