History
The group came to be in early 2025 as a way to collectively represent the efforts being undertaken by DevTalk and associated communities. Stella is the official creator of the group, and the legal entity that operates VNDN is Remort Studios, LLC. There is no official date of foundation for VNDN, as it came to be gradually over the course of many months.
In late 2025, the Visual Novel Developer Network began recruiting members to form "Team VNDN", a group of volunteers who support the operation of DevTalk, the VNDev Wiki, and other VNDN programs. VNDN launched an online merchandise shop in October 2025 featuring goods themed around Spooktober, and continues to release merch for many DevTalk-hosted jams.
