Lesbian Found Family Visual Novel 'Good Luck Baby!' Released
On March 6, Noodletub Games released its new Yuri game Good Luck Baby! on Steam and itch.io. The all-ages mystery kinetic visual novel was funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign last year.
Set in 2002 Japan, Good Luck Baby! follows high schooler Hifumi Tanaka, who seems cursed with misfortune. Thankfully, her luck starts to turn when she meets Kasumi Itou, a sunny delinquent with a heart of gold. But just as their mutual crush begins to bloom, the girls find a surprising sight awaiting them on Kasumi's doorstep... a baby with wings and a halo!
Together, Hifumi, Kasumi, and their friends must embark on the journey of a lifetime to solve the mystery behind the baby and evade the clutches of the ruthless Empress Metis.
The developer describes the game as "A heartwarming, comedic, and emotionally-driven Yuri visual novel about love, found family, and saving the world. With an unforgettable cast, dramatic romance, and laughs galore."
The game includes 13 CG illustrations, 36 unlockable extra scenes, dynamic background, multiple Yuri couples, and a jukebox featuring over 70 tracks of the game's soundtrack. Good Luck Baby also features two bonus routes, "Spring 1902" which tells a dramatic tale of two women defying fate together, and "Winter 200X" which is an alternative timeline in which the villainess Empress Metis takes control of Earth.
At 150,000 total words, the developers estimate that the game includes 16 hours worth of content. It is available now for $14.99 on Steam and itch.io.
Noodletub Games is an indie duo consisting of two queer women, C.S. Lowell (writer) and OSENA (programmer). Both lifelong fans of video games and immersive stories, their goal is to create interactive fiction that anyone can enjoy. They worked on this title with artist @mpmrpjb. Good Luck Baby! is Noodletub's third game, proceeded by The Ghost of You (2018) and the adult visual novel Love Bakudan (2021).

Yes, Randy!! Ol' mate came through for me in the end, bless his heart.
I got my t'au colonist just in time for the New Year. Props to Laursen for pulling the 'Greater Good' card, too. No t'au could refuse an offer like that.
Everyone welcome Pro to the cult. She's a little seven-year-old air-caste t'au, who is the same rank that thirty-year-old Candlelight was in The Animist Alliance.
I don't know what kind of incredible feats Pro must have pulled off to reach this rank in her short years, and to earn a name like "Mont'yr", (which means "Veteran" or "War hero") but I'll bet her brave trait has something to do with it.
Buckeye seems to have adopted the role of "cool auntie" in the colony and has been tailed almost constantly by Bella and Pro, especially while she does important childcare tasks like playing with the baby.
Good job, Laursen. The cult must have an appropriately horrifying ritual room, after all.
