Visual novel peeps who crave immersion, romance, and character-driven stories BUT want actual gameplay mechanics. Also, comic fans who’ve ever read a webtoon or manga and thought: “Oh, I wish there was a game like this!”

Who are you making your game for?

[Studio Dahl @thestudiodahl]

@WitPop @YaoiJam “Possible yandere endings” 👀
Yes, please! Twisted stuff is my cup o’ tea ☕️

[☆ samyam ☆ @samyam_youtube]

say it with me: i am going to make and publish a game in 2024

[Studio Dahl @thestudiodahl]

Solo devs unite! ✨

[Maneki Social @ManekiSocial]

If you're working on your own game all by yourself,

I am so proud of you 💛
You got this!

[Studio Dahl @thestudiodahl]

And here’s another character! ✨
Still a work-in-progress, but how do you like him so far?
No, you can’t see him under the helmet yet. That will be a bit of a reveal 😉
Is he good? 😇 Is he evil? 😈 Both?
Either way, you can romance him! 😘

He’s no longer half-naked! Revamped his design and now I’m much happier. ✨
I just have to make him a little less… bald. 💈💇‍♂️

What if I said my game for this #yaoijam was a mix of horror and fantasy set in a semi-apocalyptic small town? There will be humor, monsters, #bl romance, and there may or may not be tentacles involved…

[Yaoi Game Jam @YaoiJam]

Every year we see an array of submissions across a wide spread of genres.

What are some of your favourite genres?

Started work on my first character for #yaoijam2024 🍾
Creating the slit through his eyebrow was a lot of fun. Wonder how he got it? 🤔

Any jammers going into #yaoijam super early this time around? Been a while since I’ve had the chance to game jam. I’m doing a solo game, but would like to connect with other #YaoiJam2024 participants & build a community to cheer one another along. Solo gamedev can get lonely 😔
