• What is Josei?
  • Josei/Joseimuke is a term that means, quite literally, “aimed at women.”
• "Can I enter the jam if _____"
  • As long as your game meets the requirements above, yes!
• "My game may have elements that I can't tell if they're disturbing or not. Help!"
  • Things such as yandere, stalking, kidnapping, etc. may be accepted depending on severity. If your game could be considered *horror* it does not fit the rules. All games must be centered around a romance the protagonist enjoys. If you're concerned, please make a thread in the community section and we will get back to you!
• "Can I use AI tools I've trained with my own materials?"
  • No, you may not. The use of any form of AI is strictly prohibited.
• "Can I/we work as a team?"
  • Absolutely! Team work is greatly encouraged, as is solo work.
• "I have questions! Is ___ allowed?"
  • Once you're sure you've thoroughly read the rules, please feel free to make a thread under the community section! We'll get back to you.
