Want to check in about where the lines are regarding "nonconsensual" content!

My concept is a femdom-themed game where the player plays as a human female vampire hunter trying to cure/reform a young male vampire from his vampirism. By the time the characters can actually have sex the sex is consensual, but before this the game is largely based on eroticized content of stereotypical bdsm-aesthetic variety, which although in-universe is not the protagonist doing it for sexual reasons, is obviously intended as fanservice for the player.

Where does this fall in the eyes of Jam Rules? Does it make a difference that it's all in service of sexualization of the male love interest as a power fantasy for the player, as opposed to the player character being the one in a potential "victim" situation?

This looks really fun! I just wanted to ask: if a game promises to have explicit scenes later down the line but the current demo doesn’t get to them yet, would that be allowed?

Hello,

I have two ideas for the jam that I'm finding equally compelling. I'd like to check on the number of entries allowed per jam participant before I follow my bliss and start working on both. Is there only one entry per person/team or are more allowed?

Hi!

I'm planning on making a historical/mythological otome where the MC is a married woman who falls in love with a bog water spirit. The game has some creepy vibes (wandering around a misty bog and sensing an unknown being there), but it's more about romance and building trust between MC and the water spirit.

However, the MC suffers from domestic violence (by her drunkard husband), and I'm not sure if it's considered disturbing by the rules. The game won't show beating, but the bruises are visible on MC's face. MC seeks to appease her husband at first, but it backfires when he finds out she's pregnant (with water spirit's child). The husband chases MC to the bog, where the water spirit kills him in MC's defense, or the husband drowns by falling into a bog hole. The killing/death isn't explicitly shown or described. In the end, MC turns into a water spirit to live with her love and escape the human world.

Would this be considered disturbing by the rules?

Will the jam be rated? Where will developers discuss each other's submissions? Where will players discuss the submissions?

Hiya! 

I remember seeing somewhere that yaoi games were allowed since they're usually targetted towards a female audience, I just wanted to double check if that was still the case or not. 

Thanks in advance!

Hello :) regarding horror -- I think this was already covered but for the sake of risking pedantic clarity -- if a project could be considered horror but also romance (and the romance was not otherwise breaking a rule in any of the outlined ways) it is still not appropriate for this jam?  Something along the lines of a ghost love story or a psychological horror where your LI helps you escape ? Thank youuu! Sorry if I am... being pedantic !! 

Hello! I am new to itch and have never submitted to a jam before, so I wanted to double check some things! For a story to be considered Josei, does the protagonist have to be female? In my IF you can play as female, male, or non-binary. And as far as rape and trauma, my story mentions it as a past trauma but I don't venture into detail and there are no playable scenes with it. Is this allowed? Thank you for your time and for hosting this jam!

Hey! I was wondering if Tabletop RPG is allowed as an entry?
