Congratulating the NaNoRenO Game Creators
We've created this page, and taken out an ad on Megatokyo, to congratulate everyone who created an original English-language Ren'Ai game during the first ever NaNoRenO. We figured that the best way to show our thanks is to give free publicity to their games.
NaNoRenO is an event, organized on the Lemmasoft forums, in which people attempt to create an original Ren'Ai game in a month. The official rules can be found here. The 2005 NaNoRenO was held in March, and resulted in the creation of 6 games.
All of these games run under Windows, and many of them also can be made to run under Mac OS X and Linux/Unix.
Without further ado, the 2005 games are:
