- 09/11 10:45 pm Switching to Monthly Newsletters Hey guys! So after much thought, I've decided to switch our newsletters from weekly to monthly, at least for the meantime. We really don't have much new content to show you guys, per week, so we all thought it best to switch it to a monthly update instead of weekly update. I hope you guys don't mind!!! Hopefully when we are back on our feet again, we'll have much more new and interesting stuff to show you all, per week. Bye for now! Ciao~ -Sonya
- 09/02 05:09 pm Weekly Newsletter September 1st, 2023 Hey everyone, welcome back to another week of CloudNovel updates! Sonya hasn't been doing much this week (again) she's been busy helping users with their Fairytale Jam entries. Her update is below if you want to see what she did this week! Featured Article: How to Decide on POV and How to Switch it Without Confusing Your ReadersThere are more than three points of view. First person (“I am”) Second person (“you are”) Third person limited/intimate (“he/she is”) Third person omniscient/distant (“he/she is”) While switching points of view is not that common in traditional literature, it’s very effectively used in Visual Novels. Digital: A Love Story addresses the player in second person, though you sort of play it from first person. In Cinders, while the game uses first person in dialogues, the player is not the main character, so it’s a blend of first and third POV. Visit our blog post to read about all the different POVs yourself!

A shoutout to our talented discord users whose art we featured: boy.nines Sonya's Twitch Schedule Hello everyone, last week Sonya couldn't do any streaming (we are so sorry) so this week we are trying the same thing again, and attempting with a 1-day streaming schedule. As for whether or not we will be able to go back to a normal 5 day a week streaming schedule, it looks like we are going to stick with 1-2 days streaming per week. Sonya is trying to get back into the rhythm of a normal sleep schedule, so this might be the best schedule moving forward. You can look at the full schedule here: https://www.twitch.tv/cloudnovel/schedule Sonya's Development Update Here is Sonya's official development update for this week: Hello everyone, a small bug was fixed for logging out on the website!

- 08/26 08:34 am Weekly Newsletter August 25th, 2023 Heeeeeeeey, it's me again, Cybunny! I've had a talk with WineChan and after discussing things with Sonya, together the staff all thought it was best I take over the newsletters again and overall community management. Our second mod is pretty new around the platform, so we thought it was better that I take over newsletters again to create consistency. So, huge apologies for skipping last week's email newsletter!

We are also planning to introduce a new moderator to come help us out, she will make an introduction in the coming week as our new fairy mod!

Featured Article: Why My Project is Disapproved?Not too long ago, the CloudNovel staff has been working on disapproving and approving all of the public visual novels and dress up games on CloudNovel site. Why are we doing this? It is to make sure CloudNovel can provide a good quality visual novels and dress up games to all of you. WHAT? Then why did my project get a disapproval? I worked hard on it! Please calm down. First, we need to clarify the meaning of ‘disapproval’. Getting disapproval does not mean the end of the world. When we disapprove of your project, we do NOT delete it. Which means, it is still playable and available on CloudNovel. Visit our blog page to see all the tips for yourself!
