My name is Ternox, and I’m an indie developer. Recently, I’ve also become an indie publisher of small games — mostly visual novels — as I run the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam and look for interesting projects that could use some help with promotion.



Together with other developers, we’ve prepared four game announcements you can already add to your wishlist.

Valkyrie Iteration is a mini raising sim where you train Lana to battle mysterious phantoms — beings from another dimension tearing apart the fabric of reality.

To face this threat, humanity created Valkyries — giant combat mechs with souls of their own. These living machines have instincts and personalities, accepting only pilots capable of forming a deep emotional bond with them.

Plan Lana’s days, choose which stats to train, and hope she can make it to the finale without defeat.

A team of friends is creating a nostalgic visual novel inspired by early 2000s anime. Manic Pixie Dream Girls tells the story of half-fae students who enter their classmates’ dreams, influence their subconscious, and battle nightmares.

The style blends influences from Persona, Madoka Magica, and Tumblr-era aesthetics. Key moments present three choices, one of which always leads to a bad ending. Several artists and writers work on the project with the goal of recreating the vibe of eerie, old-school anime.

The visual novel was one of the winners of Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam #5 and is now being prepared for full release on Steam. You can already support the developers by adding it to your wishlist.

Solo developer qDrot is working on Born for the Light ~Wavelength Radiant Collapse~.

According to the developer, the project defies conventional expectations, exploring themes of religious trauma and illusions through the eyes of the protagonist.

The story unfolds in a world where children live high above the earth, inside a giant Tree, believing that one day they will fly to a distant Kingdom. The narrative leaves many questions unanswered, inviting players to search for meaning themselves.

Remember “desktop companions” from the 2000s — when a little character would walk around your screen, sit on window edges, or perch on the Start bar? I decided to bring that idea back, but turn it into a full-fledged game — a quirky mix of idle game, raising sim, virtual friend, and even a touch of dating sim.

The main heroine is Akari from my visual novel PockeDate!, now ready to live right on your desktop. You’ll manage her schedule, give her tasks, help her study, socialize, and build her singing career, while also taking care of her mood and rest.

Desktop Akari will run over everything you do, not in a separate window, so she’ll always be there. Release is planned for early next year.

Valkyrie Iteration is a mini raising sim where you train Lana to battle mysterious phantoms — beings from another dimension tearing apart the fabric of reality.

To face this threat, humanity created Valkyries — giant combat mechs with souls of their own. These living machines have instincts and personalities, accepting only pilots capable of forming a deep emotional bond with them.

Plan Lana’s days, choose which stats to train, and hope she can make it to the finale without defeat.

A team of friends is creating a nostalgic visual novel inspired by early 2000s anime. Manic Pixie Dream Girls tells the story of half-fae students who enter their classmates’ dreams, influence their subconscious, and battle nightmares.

The style blends influences from Persona, Madoka Magica, and Tumblr-era aesthetics. Key moments present three choices, one of which always leads to a bad ending. Several artists and writers work on the project with the goal of recreating the vibe of eerie, old-school anime.

The visual novel was one of the winners of Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam #5 and is now being prepared for full release on Steam. You can already support the developers by adding it to your wishlist.

Solo developer qDrot is working on Born for the Light ~Wavelength Radiant Collapse~.

According to the developer, the project defies conventional expectations, exploring themes of religious trauma and illusions through the eyes of the protagonist.

The story unfolds in a world where children live high above the earth, inside a giant Tree, believing that one day they will fly to a distant Kingdom. The narrative leaves many questions unanswered, inviting players to search for meaning themselves.

Remember “desktop companions” from the 2000s — when a little character would walk around your screen, sit on window edges, or perch on the Start bar? I decided to bring that idea back, but turn it into a full-fledged game — a quirky mix of idle game, raising sim, virtual friend, and even a touch of dating sim.

The main heroine is Akari from my visual novel PockeDate!, now ready to live right on your desktop. You’ll manage her schedule, give her tasks, help her study, socialize, and build her singing career, while also taking care of her mood and rest.

Desktop Akari will run over everything you do, not in a separate window, so she’ll always be there. Release is planned for early next year.
