unlabelledView post →i think about how different things would've been if A YEAR OF SPRINGS hadn't been in the event. the game itself never changed, but being in the event let people find out about it - & that's what reviews do. they let other players know a game is worth giving a chance.
unlabelledView post →I can’t recommend this game enough. A Year of Springs is a visual novel video game which follows three women as they grow to better understand each other and themselves over the span of a year. This game taught me to be more open with my queerness and to live more authentically

unlabelledView post →A Year of Springs is about finding yourself in a world still learning to be kind "I ended up making One Night, Hot Springs, a game about how I'd like the world to become—one that isn't perfect but still tries to be kind." www.gamedeveloper.com/design/-i-a-...

unlabelledView post →youtu.be/aAOIz89X6jI Happy Trans Awareness Week everybody. My Dad was Transmasc and died 2 years ago, I cover games he didn't get to play/finish. For today I have done A Year of Springs, the best queer game I think I've ever played. I hope that you all have the best day that you can. ❤️🏳️🌈❤️
unlabelledView post →A Year of Springs is my favorite game I have ever played ever. It's a kind of visual novel in four chapters, each one takes maybe 30 minutes to complete? It is perfection. I love this game with all my heart. <3

unlabelledView post →Game 78: A Year of Springs This is so cute, its a visual novel about a trans woman who enters a lesbian relationship with a cis woman. And they have a aroace friend It handles the topics well and was a standout in visual novels, we really recommend this one 10/10
unlabelledView post →i really loved this game !!! there's a 4 chapters long version, tho, A Year Of Springs, and it talks about additional stuff about being trans, and discovery as an aroace person !!! It's very sweet throughout and I would absolutely say, play the full version !! It's only 5$ on steam and switch !!
unlabelledView post →i just composed the song for fun but it ended up fitting perfectly in onhs which i first made for a jam in 2018 so i guess it's happy 1 year fulltime dev to me & happy 8 years to the very first seed that bloomed into A YEAR OF SPRINGS 💐 on soundcloud ➡ soundcloud.com/npckc/april-...

unlabelledView post →Just read that in Japan trans people might not have to be sterilized anymore to be recognized, that's a big leap forward. I had learned about that from the game A Year of Springs, which is still one of the most emotionally meaningful games I've covered on the channel.

unlabelledView post →Tonight I played A YEAR OF SPRINGS by @npckc.net and it made me feel things. Hard to verbalize exactly how I feel about it right now but I suspect this game is going to be important to me for a while. Highly recommended. Very worth the hour or so it takes to play.
unlabelledView post →Played One Night, Hot Spring today, as part of the "A Year Of Springs" collection. Sweet game. I got 2 endings, apparently there's 7 total. I'll get those and then play the rest of the games in the collection npckc.itch.io/a-year-of-sp...
unlabelledView post →Game 126: A Year of Springs One Night, Hot Springs got a sequel that also includes a slightly expanded version of ON, HS in it. Very well written queer visual novel with a delightful and simple art style. Have a trans woman in your life you love? Play this game to understand her a bit more.
unlabelledView post →#LGBT #Gaming Could use more eyes on this, input on what people like and thoughts on how to improve. I've settled on Coffee Talk as my next game since A Year of Springs won't work right currently. Happy pride month to all my siblings.
unlabelledView post →Mood. Just finished playing A Year of Springs! A very short and fun little slice of life story that I very much needed this weekend. #IndieGames #AYearOfSprings #VisualNovel #LGBTQ
unlabelledView post →Goodbye Volcano High (Rosa my beloved role model), Princess Farmer (especially bc i so want to be the eponymous character of that game PF is so me fr fr), A Year of Springs (also really good aroace rep btw) and Homestuck (bc look me in the eyes and tell me Roxy isnt absolutely trans-coded)
unlabelledView post →Game 16: one night, hot springs I bought a collection of games on itch.io called “A Year Of Springs”, and this was the first game in the collection. It was a short, 1 hour game, about a trans woman. It was cute, and a tad sad. Now that’s my kinda story! Can’t wait to try the other games tomorrow!
unlabelledView post →I cannot sleep, so instead, I am going to tell you about one of the most fantastic games I have ever played. It's A Year of Springs by @npckc.net -- this game changed my whole world, my whole understanding of myself, and was one of the most validating things I've seen in my whole life. 1/8
unlabelledView post →1/2 Began A Year of Springs today, the next indie game. Was just gonna do it as a podcast episode but... Well, I guess I can say fuck it and have the audio going in the background as background music, because the music really adds to it. The podcast isn't going onto spotify or anything so it doesn't
unlabelledView post →8/31 - A Year Of Springs I played One Night, Hot Springs years ago and loved it, and I've had the paid full version sitting in my library for a while and kept meaning to play it but I never got to it until now. Overall great, but the third game kinda drags it down a lil bit. 🧵 1/4
unlabelledView post →Game 50: One Night, Hot Springs Trans woman struggles to feel comfortable at a hot spring with her cis friends with multiple endings depending on the conversations/paths you take. Hit real hard and very close to home. I immediately bought "A Year of Springs" after playing this cause I loved it.
unlabelledView post →Thinking about starting to record Morrowind sooner rather than later, I haven't played a game for the channel in like two weeks and I don't want to get out of the habit. The shorter game, a Year of Springs, can be played right after I get done with the Octopath longform video since the turn...
unlabelledView post →Friendly reminder the Game Stream is tonight 6-8pm EDT! We'll be playing A Year Of Springs tonight! (long story short, FlipWitch had non-con subjects I'm not super comfortable with) Hope to see you there! picarto.tv/TheTransform...
unlabelledView post →Tomorrow is the start of Trans Awareness Week, I will be releasing my video on A Year of Springs at 5 PM EST. It is over an hour long, I believe the deepest dive into the game on Youtube and the game itself is one of the best advocacy via media that I've ever seen. It's truly beautiful.
unlabelledView post →1/3 Roommate wants to try making a game again while she's on furlough. The last attempt didn't go well because she took two weeks to implement the first scene and I had gotten busy with other stuff since she's like this. But, having played 2/3rds of A Year of Springs, it makes me wanna try something
unlabelledView post →My analysis/coverage of A Year of Springs might be my most important work yet. I've written 5k words today just, going on and on about this game.
unlabelledView post →*the* most is extraordinarily difficult to choose, so I'll recommend one of them, a video game called A Year of Springs, a very cute and queer visual novel, not long either. Helped me understand more about my gender and sexuality
unlabelledView post →-If Found... by Dreamfeel is about 2 hours or so! -Any of npckc's games! They're all short and sweet, with my personal favorite being A YEAR OF SPRINGS -Serre by insertdisc5 is about an hour, I believe!
unlabelledView post →A Year of Springs - 10/10 Finding out that the previous game was part of a trilogy, I knew I needed it immediately, and, yeah, it remains just as cute and heartfelt the whole way through. I was melting from sweetness the whole time !!
unlabelledView post →Anyway if y'all want a game that has beautiful LGBTQA+ rep and is also really cute and very affordable, definetly check out A Year Of Springs!
unlabelledView post →Games 16-18: A Year Of Springs I was going to do a separate game for the epilogue I unlocked, but it was shorter than I expected. Why did I do a separate reply for this then? Because the game’s cute, and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s curious about what it’s like to be LGBTQ+.
unlabelledView post →A Year of Springs might not be my next game, it's not running right, looking for a queer game in my library under ten hours long to take it's place.
unlabelledView post →Hi, I loved the game A YEAR OF SPRINGS, and as we're making an international event on Steam I would like to invite you and your team to it, please don't hesitate to ask us anything.
unlabelledView post →The short game that I'll be covering in-between Octopath Traveler and Morrowind will be A Year of Springs. It's said to be a rather well-done game about queer issues, I'm hoping that from it I'll be able to start my new format for game coverage on the channel. Depends on how visually entertaining...
unlabelledView post →Looks like I have some game to check out! Also, "A Year of Springs" was really cute, I really liked that game.

unlabelledView post →Happy day that corporations start pretending to care about us day! The #GooglePlay #PrideMonth section recommends the #VisualNovel A Year of Springs by #npckc , and I wholly second that recommendation if you like visual novels about queer people coming to terms with being queer. It's on almost every platform https://ayearofsprings.crd.co/ #AYearOfSprings But the same Google Play "pride" banner also recommends some shitty corporate cashgrab "games" that are best ignored.
unlabelledView post →🥔 Streaming now on Twitch Playing: Last Day of Spring I'm aware spring just begun, that's just the title of the game 😅 Link: https://www.twitch.tv/solavtuberosum #SolaIsStreaming #ENVTuber #AYearOfSprings #Livestream
unlabelledView post →#1 (2023-02-09) #AYearOfSprings After being preoccupied by school or bouncing between a few different games for all of January, I ended up downloading the first part of A YEAR OF SPRINGS on my phone. Instantly fell in love with this short and sweet visual novel about three queer girls figuring out their various feelings over the course of three parts (plus an epilogue). I love them, wish them only happiness, and am very happy about the 4-ish hours I got to spend with them. #VideoGames
unlabelledView post →Oh, jeez, I've been playing #AYearOfSprings (just finished part 2: Last Day of Spring) and the girls ARE ALL SO CUTE! I absolutely saw that "twist" towards the end coming, but it was still a fantastic experience. I'd played the first part as a free demo on my phone last week, and just had to pick up the whole "trilogy" (and somewhat scream from the rooftops about how cute it is)! It's getting a bit late now, but hopefully I can play part 3 after school tomorrow.
