hiii, this jam seems fun, but are illustrated twine games acceptable? I primarily work on ipad and cant run anything like Ren’py, but i can make a twine game and illustrate it! Hopefully that can qualify as a VN?

Thanks~

i was super late to this jam because of an irl accident (I am still dealing with it u_u), so i wanted to ask, will this jam run again? Or are super late submissions accepted?

Thanks~

YAAAAY! I hope I can get it submitted before the 12 hours are up. I think I may make the project page and submit it, and upload the file when I finish (I am at a hospital at the moment and can’t write)

I’d love to participate in this but are short stories allowed? :0

Game jams challenge me to write, so I used to use twine but now I am burnt out on making narrative games with branching choices. I’d like to submit something similar to a kinetic VN: a twine game that is linear, and maybe with art added

Thanks~

hiii! I was thinking of submitting this: https://dragonperson.itch.io/my-beautiful-jelly-dragon

But I’d rather create something new to the prompt. Are short stories allowed? :o

I can make it readable in the browser.

And since there’s only a day left, it might not be too polished :’)

Or I could submit my other game (which is also a story) but it is nsfw!

Really? I remember one time I was given a link to submit my project when a deadline had passed, but maybe it was because those jams had voting in it :0. They don’t give you an option to make a link?

Darn. I really wanted to submit to this one too. It was this story game: https://dragonperson.itch.io/awaiting-input

I hope they adjust that system someday so late games can be submitted to unranked jams with links

Thank you for replying!

yay! May I have a submission link? :3

THANK YOOUUUUU 🥹🥹🥹 I am happy to know it evoked feelings too~ that’s one of the best goals of a writer. It means our words makes people feel something!

Thankies for looking forward to future projects! I want to add art to this one after the jam is over but I hope it doesn’t detract too much

and very true! I hardly ever see MLM content in jams like these, so I was glad to provide :3

Thank you for calling it cute 🥹 and thank you for wanting to read more! I do plan to update, but I joined several other jams to challenge myself to write. When this jam runs again I will definitely be back.

For now, there’s some free stories about Rin that I am uploading to the blog! Some notes and interviews with him have already been posted :D

Thank you for being much more nicer than AxelKay. I wrote this story-game within an hour, so it is not polished at all. I wished that was understood ;u; it’s not like my usual work due to how fast it was written.

On the word usage, I read so many differing opinions online about how to describe the male parts. In my older work, I used member/shaft/length, but I read that people hate these words, so I settled for vulgarity unfortunately. That particular word (c*ck) seems to be okay with most people, but I will definitely go back to using those other words I used to use.

Also, thank you for the emphasis tips. My older work was more like this, but I let the opinions of others change how I write sex scenes. I will try to write more like my old self!

About the choices, I sadly only had an hour left to submit, so I was unable to make the other mood choices. In its current form it is similar to a kinetic visual novel (linear).

Lastly, about the paid work, the price is temporary because it is in a bundle. I think it was required to have a price to be in a bundle. Once the bundle finishes it will revert back to Name Your Own Price. This is also why I linked to the blog where the bulk of Rin’s important lore exists :3

I’m so sorry this work that I speedran is your first introduction to my stories 😖 in order to not overwhelm myself with struggling to find words, I had to make this as basic as possible while keeping some flowery language. I am also not good at prose English, so poetry is my stronger area to describe things. Poetry allows me to use other ways to describe things, rather than being straightforward like prose.

Thank you so much for finding it interesting despite it not being to your taste! :D

I am so happy you had a pleasant experience reading it!

hiiii I finally got this published: https://dragonperson.itch.io/awaiting-input

And wanted to know if I could submit it late to this jam? I entered two liminal space jams for it. This was one of them.

Thanks~

OHHHHHHH it accepts non games? Awesome! I’ll submit there!

Ooohhh I see your reasoning! I go by the “more the merrier” because it helps my mind force itself to make something different for each jam, but I def get your reasoning!

And oki~ have fun at SDCC :D

ooooo okay! I’ll try to be on the lookout for the later one. I love joining jams because they push me to write more, and this one seemed fun but I got into an accident and just,, lost all will to write for a while @-@

ohhh I see, thank you for the links! However, I was interested in this one since it also accepts queer as well, which my story is :o
and most other jams for MLM only accept games

It’s not a VN so it doesn’t count for the yaoi game jam that’s going on, either!

I think you can create late submission links. I saw it happen before! If you’re able to figure it out, I’d still like to submit for this one :3

And good luck too with your transhet jam :D and thanks for the good luck!

I missed a lot of game jams cause of unexpected stuff and this is one of them. I really wanted to participate in this one, especially since I just finished one of my stories about my fave little gay dragon, but this jam is over ;-; will it run again?

Or perhaps, do you take late submissions?

Thanks~

I missed a ton of game jams I was going to participate in lately because of unexpected things and this was one of them. This one seemed funny. Is it going to run again? 

Great! Thank you for answering! Just wanted to make sure, because when I tried to submit one of my illustrated twine games to the VN database, I got told that doesn’t count as a VN (I was gutted at the response)

Hiii! I write and draw primarily from iPad, so I was wondering, are twine games with illustrations allowed? I have one that I’m trying to finish before the jam is over! It would be kinetic (no choices)

It’s a little hard since twine doesn’t play nice on iPad but at least it isn’t completely unavailable like Renpy is. I wished I could make this an illustrated book instead

A scrollbar has been added! I didn’t realize it wasn’t enabled by default. I have also enabled a full screen option.

Thanks for this! I will try adjusting the window size from the game page

Thank yooouuuu! I submitted it :D

(Apologies for my lateness, I just woke up)

I got this submission in within 2 minutes of the jam closing, but apparently it’s not listed here anymore? Did it get removed? I made this game for this jam: https://dragonperson.itch.io/our-whispers-on-their-tongues

Thanks~

thank youuuuu 🥹 I am glad to hear that. It’s nice that there is someone out there proud of me dedicating so much energy to these works. It’s extremely hard work for me with everything I have going on, but this makes it rewarding. 

Wow this is the second time I’ve gotten direct gameplay feedback 🥹 thank you! I am currently updating the game before voting ends! I didn’t realize I could still update the files! 

I wrote this within the span of two hours, it is such a mess and I didn’t get to flesh out everything 😭 but I am excited to work on it after the jam

EDIT: wait I can still edit it? Ooooh

OHHHH! My apologies. You tap/click the words highlighted in blue to progress.

A, I don’t see where I can set the same file as its own download + be playable in the browser. Do you see anything that says “run game”?

Twine might be broken. I’ll enable downloads for it! I also want to point out this is a suuuuper short story due to the amount of time I had left. I plan on expanding it in the future.

ooooh thank youuuuu! I was planning for 2026 since I intend for this to be short. Thank you for taking my late entry! I’ll get started on it 🥹

Hiiii! I didn’t get a chance to submit for this qwq this month was too busy. Is this held twice a year or only once a year? If it’s twice a year, I will definitely be back (•̀ᴗ•́)و 

Thanks~

oohhh it sounds like I need to make an adjustment and add more elation values :0

My first text game didn’t go well, so I added more but didn’t have time to do another test, but if you are ending up with a lot of bad endings, I will make adjustments 🙂‍↕️ thank youuuu for the feedback!

Thank youuuu for the well wishes 🥹

hii! You can find it on this page https://dragonshortstories.wordpress.com/mama-ayani-gamesheet/

thank yooouuu for looking forward to it. Although I can’t upload the files directly, I did get a chance to release this and uploaded the files directly to my site. More info here: https://dragonperson.itch.io/mama-ayani/devlog/1517094/release

I hope it doesn’t disappoint you! This is my first time creating a book game like this.

thank you for keeping the game on the jam page 🥹 I am glad it stayed there. Thank you! I have a question! Since I worked very hard on this, would any updates be eligible for the next preggo game jam? There’s a lot of things I wanted to add to this but didn’t because of time and stress

Thank youuuuu 🥹 my anxiety was higher than ever, but I couldn’t dare take this down nor stop working on it. I am glad I pushed myself to continue. thank you for being proud and for thinking I am awesome! I am glad to welcome you into this world and I hope you have fun! 🥹

and you are awesome too for leaving such kind words in my time of anxiety. It’s helped to ease things!

auauauau I’m scared I’m scared,, what if it’s bad??? hhhh it’s out in the wild now but I’m scared

thank yooouuu for leaving it up. It’s quite sad it’s not eligible for a prize, but I’m glad it’s still in the jam submissions. As this is my first oneshot game in this format, I hope it doesn’t disappoint too much!

Same 😭 but I am working on it as we speak! Currently deciding if I scrap the pen and paper idea in favor of Twine

Voting lasts 13 days, this will definitely be done waaay before then

Darn ;-; I didnt realize this jam was ranked. could it be added back once it’s released, which should be tonight? I’m having issues with it that I didn’t expect, which is why it’s not out sooner today

And thanks for the birthday wish. Kinda sorta made the blow land a bit softer. A little bit
