Yaoi Game Jam 2026

So that's a tough one. Since itchio updated their rules on games that contain adult content some time ago to prohibit a bunch of stuff, one of which includes bestiality and animal-related content, it would really depend on what kind of game you end up making. And if you want to make it NSFW or commercial then that would probably get it banned from itchio and the jam.

I doubt it'll be paid or rated 18+. It'll probably be about their feelings. Otherwise, I'll freak out and humanize it.

hiii! I have a game I was meant to release last year but never did. All I managed to do was outline one route. I was thinking of fully refining it and building on that, and submitting to this jam, but the game page is old (there’s no game on it). Would it still be allowed?

Hi L'Poni. If the game page is older than July 1st 2026 (the start of yaoi jam) then it won't be accepted.

Darn, oki~ I have a backup idea I can work on and submit in case that first one wasn’t allowed. Thankfully I am more excited about this backup idea. Thank youuuu for the response!

I know there isn't MUCH time left but I am working on a solo journaling RPG game for this jam and I'm only now realizing it may not be what you're looking for🙈 Can I submit a solo RPG game for this jam?

Is the game yaoi?
