A video should be coming later today (~9 hours from this post give or take). I have about 5 scripts done, and have mostly been sitting on them while I've been working on my personal health and work.

And - admittedly - in pretty much all of my free time, I have been playing Noctuary (might be the best thing I read/played this year - still not finished it though).

Once things even out, I hope to post at least one video a week. I might start streaming the indie games I play for the future indie VN spotlights I do (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZdYH... like this one) if people want to keep seeing that, but we'll see.

The second most viewed video I've now done this year - my most recent one, about a DRPG, of all things - has indicated to me how I should approach video creation and video topics in the future. I.E. more storytelling and not always VN videos.

90% of my "game time" is still reading visual novels, and that'll be reflected in my uploads, but people seem to be open to anime-adjacent games in general, and I will be considering that for future videos. This channel used to be a general review channel before it pivoted to visual novels (I did reviews on Borderlands and Minecraft Dungeons, now privated because they suck lol), and frankly I wouldn't mind approaching slightly broadening my horizon. But at the end of the day, I am still a weeb, so it's not like that''ll ever change.

As always, thanks for reading,

I bought the femboy game.

Anyway, videos resume tomorrow. I've been working on writing the script for my Last Defense Academy review so long and I'm still not done, so I'm gonna do some short videos until I'm finished.

Reviews I hope to do for the rest of this month:
- Landmine Princess (interesting stylized dating sim)
- Dere Quartet (AI VN...)
- The NOexistenceN of you AND me (Chinese VN about tulpas and philosophy)
- Girls! Girls! Girls!? (femboys)
- Country Siblings (sibling dating sim)

Hopefully we'll get that LDA review done eventually, but I'd rather do it right (and once Shadowverse: Beyond Worlds comes out the progress will probably slow down for a week until I'm bored of that, so c'est la vie).

Hello all, I hope you've been liking the content. Once I started The Hundred Line I sorta got busy, but I want to keep pushing at least weekly content.

If you wanna keep up with me, join my new Discord here: discord.gg/GzC2vWWbQu

Making a Madoka Magica fan game video soon, amongst others - the VNs in this fandom are both insane and incredible and might be worth a look out. Below is a picture of the thumbnail which you can't see the entirety of it but I promise you the Madoka games are the most ridiculous I have ever read.

For anyone interested, I started a new gameplay/gacha related channel here: youtube.com/@ItsBrucester and want to keep my video essays on this channel in general. I chose to do this because the last poll I did was not conclusive about what kind of content I should make, so I'd rather try to stay in VN territory than be a nuisance.

Please recommend me things, or gameplay things that might be shown ‪@ItsBrucester‬ , and I'd love to comply.

Happy 27th birthday to me, happy 5th birthday day to this channel on focusing on VNs, and happy near 10 years of me doing Youtube. Time flies and I love you all, even if I only made videos for 20 people for 7 years of my Youtuber life.

Based on the last poll, I am gonna stretch out my reach a bit, but we will always love visual novels. Also, I have fate/stay night in my library and I can't retire from VN reviews until I review that.

Are you guys more interested in visual novel content, or CONTENT I make. To be absolutely honest with you all, I haven't read a visual novel since August (mostly reading manga) and I am SUPER into a gacha game right now.

So I pass the baton to you guys before I start the content train again, can I make videos on anime adjacent things (MiSide, manga, anime, etc while not abandoning VNs) or do you want a VN review tomorrow xd

Hope everyone has been enjoying their summer so far! I took a bit of a break for the beginning of August, but this week we'll be getting back into the full swing of things!

Today I want to talk about the future of this channel (I will make a video about this in the near future).

Besides the Summer Pockets review which is coming soon, I have various video ideas in the works that I hope to release this month, including a Saya no Uta video and a "visual novel speedrun" (which sounds stupid but you'll have to trust me here). I'd like to release at least 6-7 visual novel videos for the remainder of August, but that's optimistic.

I want to make videos on some visual novel adjacent mediums as well, namely anime, manga, and light novels. I am going to tread lightly and carefully here, and visual novels will be the focus of this channel for the foreseeable future, but I would like to slowly expand the scope of this channel mainly for my own benefit so I have a little more breathing room in the topics I talk about.

Beyond videos, I want to explore different content avenues, namely streaming. I recently posted heavily edited let's play videos (The Ultimate Visual Novel Challenge, "Dating Sim"), but this content would be more interactive and enjoyable with an audience. I'll probably do a stream in the coming week or two to gauge people's interest, and feedback is always welcome.

Furthermore, I am considering making a Discord server, but I am still in the planning stages of that. Until now, I have been focusing on making content but not engaging in the community as much as I would like to, and I want that to change. Despite always being anxious when opening the comment section to a new video, reading comments ends up being the most rewarding part of the process for me, and I feel I owe it to my community to be more proactive.

I'm still in a very experimental phase in my channel where I am coming up with new ideas every day, so I hope you can look forward to that and bare with me as I continue to grow the BruceGoneLoose channel into one that can provide entertaining content for many people to enjoy for years to come.

Cheers,
BruceGoneLoose.

With the unfortunate announcement of Minato Aqua graduating from Hololive at the end of the month, I once again urge you to read AQUARIUM if you are a Hololive fan. Whilst the story isn't long or groundbreaking for a visual novel, it's an enjoyable reading experience filled with fan service that'll.. probably have you missing her even more when the time comes, honestly, but hey it's about the journey at the end of the day.

I forgot to announce it yesterday, but to no one's surprise Summer Pockets won the poll. Due to the material I have to cover, the review will likely bleed into next week, but I'll do what I can to get it to you guys as soon as I can!

This will be my second Key review, and will be my first "real" Key review, so I am a little excited for that. Thanks for voting, and I'll be doing another poll as soon as my review for Summer Pockets is released!
