A downloadable Zine

We are proud to announce the inaugural release of the ADVaNCE Zine, which focuses on Visual Novels and Adventure Games, especially from the viewpoint of developers. We hope you enjoy this first issue as much as we enjoyed making it!

What's with the name? ADVaNCE originally for ADVenture and Novel Creation Engine. Then it stood for Adventure and Visual Novel Culture Examination, based on the review website. Now it's a zine! ADVaNCE is also a pun on the word "advance," as in what players to do move forward in an Adventure Game or Visual Novel.

For those of you who are new to the VN scene, I have a short write up to introduce you to the wonderful world of visual novels. In the meantime, I'd like to invite you to enjoy your perusal of this zine. I'd also like to remind readers that we accept all sorts of input and content for the zine, so feel free to drop us a line at advance.visualnovel@gmail.com or check out our website at advance.vnovel.com!

Thank you for reading and your support!

Oh gosh...I contributed to this. I never saw the finished product. I'm so glad to have found this!

I'm glad you've gotten to see it now! Forgive me the delay, I'm not sure what happened.

No need to apologize; it's not your fault at all...Shortly after submitting that I had to deal with a breakup and a cross-country move and PTSD, so needless to say it sort of left my mind for a while. I happened to find the original draft on my computer the other night and was like, "Huh, whatever happened with that?" I'm glad I got to find it finally. :)

I hope you're doing better! I know how the cross-country move and PTSD combo goes so if you need anyone to talk to I'm here for you! Glad you found it :D

Hey!  I know this is a longshot, and I'm not sure if posting under your comment here is acceptable--I just did not see any other way of contacting you (all of the links to social media seem to be deactivated).

I was looking through the Racial Injustice bundle, and I saw you submitted this piece: itch.io.  Is there any chance I could get a copy of that?  Now that it has been removed, I am more curious about it.  If not, no sweat.  Just figured I'd give this a gamble and reach out to you.  

Oh hey! Thanks for reaching out! I had to put some of my social media on lockdown, so I know that's a bit confusing to work around, though I am slowly working on a new version of the site.

somestrangecircus contributed to the ADVaNCE zine's "Kinetic Corner," but I don't recognize the piece that you've linked. I'll look around and let you know if I find anything just in case I'm forgetting.

Ah yeah sorry, that was meant for somestrangecircus.  I was hoping it wouldn't notify you, but thanks for taking the time to respond!  I appreciate you reaching out :)
