thank you to everyone who played and left feedback. I was so excited when I recieved them all 🥹 too excited to reply. I will do that soon!

I am leaving my review here too as I mentioned :3

This was a nice game omg!

😭 I felt uncomfortable reading that other group chat, because I’ve been on that other end, seeing what people really think of you. That brought back some old memories of internet ‘friends’ doing this, but I felt a little relieved when everyone in that group chat all realized their mistakes and became more empathetic, and I liked that Kai was the one to defend the player character. Adam definitely reminded me of someone from my recent past who I thought was empathetic but I gave them the benefit of the doubt because in reality their coldness was just a result of their own mental issues (wasn’t AuDHD but a mental issue regardless).

In my opinion, it is a good thing that a game made me feel this.

Secondly, HOOOOOOOOWWWW did you do all of this in TWINE? One of my dreams is to make an impressive twine game, and I love phone games like this. How did you do all of this with HTML? It’s so smooth. The little wiggle animation. The stats, the interface! I wish I was proficient in HTML to make my email game look like an actual website. I know you don’t have to answer with all the libraries and codes you used but I am interested in the How. I also love the addition of achievements, didn’t know that was possible in Twine!

Lastly, I am glad your protagonist and the side characters all have ADHD. It makes me wonder how did they all find each other. It did feel a little overwhelming that they all had it, but again that’s a good thing. I have that too, so it’s really nice to see it up front and center in a Twine/cellphone game.

This reminded me of Sara is Missing and Simulacra, which are phone games I enjoyed too!

I will also leave my comment on the game page itself so you can have more reviews!

YAY thanks! I will upload the game once I fix it. I am trying to put finishing touches because something feels off with it (it’s a twine story).

As for those other jams, it’s possible to still generate submission links after rating! I saw the option in my own game jam :3 and even though those jams are over, I still really like those prompts you created and want to make something for them!

Dang it 😭 the jam ended. Is it still possible to submit? I’ve submitted before to jams that were over, or do you plan to run this specific world building jam again?

(I am nearly healed from that horrible situation I mentioned and can write almost properly again)

hiiiii! I didn’t get to finish my story in time but could I receive a late submission link to submit it when I do finish it?

Also, I joined your other two jams and missed those as well. I really wanted to make something for them because I liked the prompts. Even though those are over, do those accept late submission links?

These are the other two: /jam/themed-horror-game-jam-25

/jam/days-of-horror-5

I haven’t been able to properly write ever since I got horribly bitten by a dog and hospitalized, but I am slowly getting my writing flair back.

YAY!

hiii! I have a list of game jams I wanted to join but couldn’t because I got hospitalized this month 😭 I wanted to make a text game with a trans MC for my brother, so I wanted to ask, does this jam allow late submissions when it’s over? I really liked the nostalgia idea of this jam and would be a perfect reason for me to make a nostalgia-based story!

Thanks!

Oh my gosh I completely forgot to say thank you. I’m still dealing with this horrid situation with my wound but it’s getting better.

Even though the jam is in voting period, could I still get a late submission link? Or do I wait until after voting to submit? I more so want to submit to all these jams I told myself to commit to, because the ideas sound exciting! I have a perfect setting for this one. 

Hiii! I joined this jam intending to write something for it but I ended up hospitalized because of a dog bite. Am I allowed to submit late? I know jam hosts can usually generate a late submission link but I wanted to ask just in case

I got hospitalized and couldn’t participate in this jam ;-; it threw everything off. Will this jam run again? I liked the idea of it

That’s interesting. I’ve usually been able to submit when a jam was over because I would get a submission link.

I know that’s the point of the jam, but I do like trying to stick to the idea and themes of the jam and make something for it, even if it’s after the fact. I suppose I put too much value into the jams that I feel bad joining and not being able to create what I wanted for it.

Ah well. I can count this one as a loss. Life issues got in the way of this and others I joined.

hiiii! I wanted to participate in this jam, and planned to join it and others so I could challenge myself to write, but are late submissions allowed after it’s over? :0

I know jams can get late submission links; wanted to ask before I commit to making the little twine game

EDIT: wanted to add that I got hospitalized, which is why I couldn’t participate 

hiii! Didn’t get a chance to submit during rating but could I still submit something even though it’s over? I wanted to participate in this one but couldn’t thanks to hospital stuff

hiiii! I didn’t get to submit to this jam and several others due to being thrown off my motivation because of hospitalization. Would I be allowed to submit? Even if it’s after voting ends? :0

I like submitting to jams. They challenged me to write and stay on subject. Thanks~

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!

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?

I can’t remember if I asked this, but are late submissions allowed? I had a twine story I was working on for this, but I got bit by a pit bull at the vet and all the complications made me miss a lot of jams I joined. Am I allowed to submit late to this one? Even if it’s after voting? I don’t like leaving things I intended for a jam unsubmitted. Thankies!

Thank yooooou! 🥹

YAY THANK YOU! And it is understandable about being late :3

I too had a lot of complications this month that interfered with everything 😔

YAY! Okay! and that is understandable about judging :3

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.
