Priro.pro

If you're new here, hi! This is the official Priro.pro Tumblr! But it's not just a blog I use solely for Tumblr fun. I use this blog as a convenient way to embed update posts on the Priro.pro website.

What is Priro.pro?

Priro.pro is the art and visual novel project of the most smokin' hot Italian autistic transmasc in at least the state of New York, Prince Rosalium! That's me!

I'm most known for my visual novel series, Parfum Nostalgique and my shop where I sell my handmade and hand-dye clothes and accessories, but I also like to use my website to compile lists and guides about my interests and hobbies. I also like to use my site to spotlight other visual novel developers and uplift queer artists through curated lists.

What is Parfum Nostalgique?

Parfum Nostalgique is my solo visual novel project, and Priro.pro is its home. I am the artist, writer, composer, programmer, and general Everything Man for this project, which was completed and released over the course of 4 years.

Trans characters, trans voice actors, trans experience. Fantastic, dramatic, romantic, traumatic, and FREE!

You can download it here on Itch.io!

Or, check out the official page on the Priro.pro website here!

Or, download it on Steam here!

You can also pick up a physical copy in the Priro shop! Dubbed "the forbidden Danish butter cookie," this USB is a convenient way to support Priro.pro and keep your new favorite visual novel safe and sound.

What else is in the Priro shop?

I hand-dye and sew clothes and accessories and sell them on the Priroshop! I also sell stickers, buttons, postcards, and more featuring my artwork.

You can find all of this and more here! Updates are frequent, as I'm always working on more one-of-a-kind pieces for my shop.

If you read through this whole post, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love to yap about my work on podcasts, in interviews, anywhere to anyone with ears that hear and/or eyes that see, so please don't hesitate to reach out for business inquiries at [email protected].

This is an updated guide to Priro.pro, the ever-growing monster that is my website, game development studio, and general life work.

Priro.pro was started as a home for my art, commission information, hobbies, and most notably, my indie visual novel series Parfum Nostalgique.

As I spent countless hours working on my creative endeavors and posting about them online, I began to realize that my hard work was not as visible to others as I would have liked. No matter how consistently I followed guides on how to improve my online presence, I was never satisfied with the results.

I quickly gathered that this was not just a "me" problem. With its introduction of generative AI, censorship of queer/NSFW content, and over-reliance on algorithms to determine whose are is and isn't worthy of going viral, social media was and is becoming increasingly more antagonistic toward indie creators. Not only that, but the online marketplaces myself and my other game dev friends relied on for the distribution of our work now censor and suppress anything that payment processors deem to be in violation of their terms of service.

The state of the current Internet is, at best, unwelcoming. The state of the games industry is, in one word, predatory. But in these times where there is very little room for optimism, I have found it in communities of people who decide to create anyway, and know that their work is more important now than ever.

The goal of Priro.pro, in all its experimental glory, is not to be a comprehensive, all-encompassing solution to everything that's wrong with the indie scene. It is to be a place where you can watch one man surrounded by creators who care about each other throw ideas at the wall and see which ones stick, in the hopes that you might join him in your own way. It is a small room filled with wonderful people, a break from the barrage of firing synapses that is social media, made without consideration for what is marketable or clickable. It is full of unfinished lists, badly coded pages, random ads for indie creators, secret vaults, charming jank, and most importantly, love.

On Priro.pro, you'll find:

My flagship visual novel series Parfum Nostalgique, free to play in its entirety.

Project Menagerie, my traveling market dedicated to bringing digital indie games to physical form.

Free no-strings-attached ads for great indie creators everywhere I can shove them. Submit yours here!

Personal lists of works and websites from indie creators I believe in.

Resources for creating your own physical copies of your own indie games.

The Priroshop, where you can buy physical indie games and handmade apparel.

Horrible coding, just the worst. But if I can do it, so can you. The jank is there to encourage you to make your own site, with your own lists, your own resources, and your own personal charm!
