I WILL REPLY WITH MINE
Project name: Adonia AI
Description: Join an AI startup that makes bots of dead people and get to know the employees involved through face to face conversations and computer chats. Oh, and make sure you're keeping up with your emails, or face an early termination! Dating sim/visual novel, 3M/1F love interests.
When it started: 2022 😭💀
Personal due date: End of the jam, but earlier would be nice (if I can make the VA happen fast enough)
I've never joined a jam faster in my life! xDD
I'll use it as an excuse to put some pressure on rewriting some dialogue scenes and finally be able to move on to drawing some assets that are missing (the fun part!).
Project name: Deeper Deductions
Genre: Visual novel murder mystery
Description: Play the role of young detective Miyu Mindbottom and use your detective skills and extrasensory powers to get to the bottom of the case!

When it started: August 2025 🫠
Personal due date: End of the jam is the last call, but hopefully it's finished during winter 2025 🤞
Oof this fucking spoke to me. Immediate join cause I've been thinking about picking this project back up for a couple weeks now and this is a great way to motivate myself!
Project Name: Accidental Necromancy
Description: Otome/Amare visual novel where you accidentally bring your dead best friend back back to life! Oops! (Fun fact- my husband has insisted since I told him the general story idea that I should call it 'Oopsamancy' which is amusing but I like my title better) There's also a second LI and some family mysteries, and I've got a bunch of different endings planned which I always find fun in a game.
When it started: April 2024- I started this for NaNoRenO 2024 and then fell into the black hole of FFXIV shortly afterwards (I'd played before and always lost interest after a month or two but I'm still going strong this time...). Just recently decided to participate in O2A2 and I've been itching to work on this ever since.
Personal Due Date: I'd like to finish sooner than the jam end cause I got other story ideas but I think the end of the jam is a good date to aim for.
this game fell through but i need to finish it for my sake i love my demon egirl sm
Name: I Summoned a Demon and She's Chronically Online (Like Me!)

What's the worst that could happen???
Started: September 2024
Due Date: Before Christmas...
no artwork bc we are redesigning everythign!!! heres one of the characters pfp tho
My project has been going well, but an end date to work towards is always helpful! I'm happy with the core systems and the work already in place. My goal is to buckle down and add more upgrades, enemies, and bosses before calling it good enough for a 1.0 Steam release. 
Project Name: Ironclad Angels
Genre: Top-down roguelike shooter with vehicle customization
Description: A distant colony has sent a distress signal, and the fleet you and your tank crew are currently serving with was the first to respond.

Collect XP by defeating enemies and destroying buildings to unlock vehicle upgrades. Complete missions to earn research points and use them to unlock new customization options for future missions.
Started: June 2024
Due Date: End of the jam. As long as I have spent less than 2 years before getting it up on Steam I'm happy!
Man, I feel like after my laptop broke back in 2023 and I lost some of the files all my motivation to finish this game vanished, and I really want to get back to it!!! It feels like a broken promise at this point
Project Name: Spring Boy
Genre: Otome/Amare Visual Novel
Description: Eri's first year of college has been lonely and anxiety ridden, although she'd never let that show through her cheery exterior. However, on the night of the Spring Festival at her college, she ends up running into a strange boy named Vasant. As if by fate, the two keep meeting, and through these meetings she finds herself discovering a world of magic, and maybe she'll even find the strength to discover herself. But spring doesn't last forever, and if there's one thing Eri should know, is that love blooms and dies in the spring.
Started: May 2023
Due Date: End of jam (which would be perfect timing since it'll pretty much be March aka spring!!)
3D survival game set in a post apocalyptic fantasy world in which the different species have formed factions and most have terrible relations to each other. Magic is distrusted in most of the world. You start out in a small town up in a high mountain area and find out that magic is deteriorating and if the magic dies, then so does beauty and creativity. To be replaced with insatiable hunger and machines that destroy the planet. You have to find and correct the areas of misuse, disuse, and confusion and fix the issues to right the world. You are drug into battles, quarrels, and peace deals and eventually have the opportunity to build your own community(ies) to help link people together. You can recruit npcs to help grow your community and have the option to set up auto-join restrictions - so community builder/management.
Original idea was for a multiplayer aspect, but unsure if I want to really start out with that option now that i've done more work on the story and mechanics.
I have a couple friends giving some ideas for NPCs, and stuff, but pretty much all the art and coding will be me. Eventually I might even learn how to code, lol.
putting myself on blast so you can publicly shame me if i dont finish this game by the time the jam ends
Project name: Alaris
Description: Fantasy romance visual novel about a healer who ends up Getting Into Some Shit and finds themself in the midst of a Big Old Mystery. We got a personality system and six LIs in this bad boy.
Started: I say July 2020 (LMAOOOO..... HAHAHAHHA..........) when I want to inflict psychic damage on myself and send myself into an existential crisis. October 2022 when I want to be nicer to myself since that's when the Kickstarter happened.
Due Date: End of jam for Full Release keep me in your prayers
Okay! This should be interesting.
1. Project name: Void Watchers (may change, I've never been entirely happy with the title), a dark fantasy TTRPG.
2. Description: A group of people, some human, some human plus, some not human at all, attempt to guard this dimension from the threats from this world, other worlds, and the spaces between.
3. When you started the project: Uhhhh...mid-00s? It initially grew out of some books & stories I wrote, then it kept getting bigger, eventually I accepted that it had become its own thing, and began to rebuild from scratch a decade or so ago. It was last touched about 4yrs ago when I did some beta sessions.
4. Your personal due date (can be the end of the jam, or earlier): March sounds good tbh. I'm gonna try to plan ahead and set aside some time weekly. The structure is ready to go, aside from proofing, I have a character sheet etc all ready to go with some minor tweaks, and I believe the balances and the dice system are also ready because they all got lots of testing. But it's a bit of a monster so putting it into readable format, complete with art (which my wife will continue to do), is gonna take some time. I'm not great at design work so it'll be fairly basic, but hopefully clean and easy to digest. I'd love to also have characters and a short campaign but that'd still be a LOT more work to take what I already have an expand on so that's all secondary and can come later.
I deal with chronic pain and fatigue and brain issues, so having a solid external deadline is very helpful 😁
Hi I'm Joe
I am looking to finish my TTRPG Children With Wands
In Children With Wands you paly as children who have just come into their magic, so you are not great at casting spells yet. When you want to cast a spell you roll a d20 to see how strong your spell in not how well you cast it. I started the game mid covid epidemic and last year in December funded it successfully on Kickstarter. I have been working on it but an having trouble getting it finished. The perfect being the enemy of the good plus a full time job that also requires creative energy.
I wan to finish the game by September so I can have it out to people in October and they can enjoy the pre written adventure "Halloween in Fairhaven" when it is seasonally appropriate.
What need done, a few spells need rewritten and a bit of work on the adventure, I have kind of hit a wall on these. the spell Bluster, a wind spell, is giving me particular trouble.
Excited to be here, this is the kick in the rear I needed to push through and finish this project!
Project name: A Sanctuary For You
Description:
You play as a lighthouse keeper living on her own over the course of three days, and you choose the tasks you want to perform to maintain the lighthouse each day. Depending on what you do while awake, you might recall different memories from your past and pave the way for a new future... Piece together your past over the course of several routes and answer the door when the time comes!
When you started the project: Started planning July 2024, started coding May 2025.
Your personal due date (can be the end of the jam, or earlier): End of year 2025! (12/31/2025)
I'm here to tell on myself in this thread!!✌️🐦⬛Version 1.7 is long past due.
Project name: Love Limit
Description: In an effort to support her sister's future endeavours as a matchmaker, Eiren Reeves agrees to a blind date. Several hours later, when her date's a no show... The planet is invaded!? No, it couldn't be. There's no way Eiren's date is an alien invader that just put the fate of the world in her hands, right? Unless...?
When it started: 2024/11/16 😓
Personal due date: SOB. September 20th. I thought that was realistic 2 months ago... (Stares into camera) Anyway, I really hope to have it all done before the jam ends! I've been recovering from an injury and my motivation has been in the gutter because of censorship stuff. I'll be chipping away at the CGs, adding sprites, packaging the Steam release, and building the mobile apk. 💪🐦⬛
Procrastinating the thread just like I’m procrastinating my game *finger guns*
Okay!! Here we go:
1. Project name - Shadow of a Doubt (unless a better name comes to mind!!!)
2. Description - “A short VN game about a teenage sword girl and the mental battles she faces that become corporal in the nighttime.”
3. When you started the project - 2023 or 2024
4. Your personal due date - playable demo by end of jam, finished script by Jan 2026 🤞🏾
