What's the Big Idea: 

The idea here, is to have a romance game focused on or inspired by education. Be it a dark academia wizard school, a desperate lonely teacher looking for love, a baldi's basic style 'evil' teacher making you learn math or no kisses for you. Let your imagination run wild with the idea of education games/settings/themes meeting romance tropes.

Examples:
Kill Your Darlings

Teachers. With Love and Passion

The Teacher, the Sorceress, and the Wonderbolt, by Wrabbit

Harry Pothead and the Sorcerer's Stones (wait why is this here?)

Baldi's Basics (I"ll let you figure out how to romance that.)

Theme: Educational Games: IE mario teaches typing, grossology, baldi's basics

Time Frame:

The jam will last a four week period, there is no voting, just a focus on making games and hopefully finding some friends along the way.

What You Must Do:

• Follow itch.io guidelines, especially if you're making NFSW work. Click the link for more info.
• Games entered need to be free, at least for the jam version so that people past, present, and future can enjoy your game. You can make a separate paid version if you want.
• Your game must focus on romance; it may have other elements, but Romance should be equal to or greater than any other part.
• Use the theme, how you interpret the theme is up to you, but it should be present in the game somehow.

What You Can Do:

• SFW and NFSW are both allowed, just make sure they're tagged correctly and any warnings that are needed are put in game.
• You can use any game engine, ren'py, godot, ohrrpgce, etc
• No AI art as final assets in game.
• Make a new game, or update an existing game.
• Be weird, make a romance as strange or esoteric as you want, go nuts.

What You Cannot Do:

• No kink shaming, discrimination, or attacking others. Love comes in all kinds of shapes and forms, no need to be rude about stuff.

Final Thoughts:

• Have fun. We're all here to make games, we all have the same passion, the same drive to make things. So let's enjoy it XD
