I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!!!

i say yes! a lot of rpgs have strong VN elements. ❤️

feel free!

Terrence is made by one of my buddies! I want to kill him over it every time he brings it up. It has now a cult following of fanart and fans. I don't understand. I want to run this game over with a Tesco truck. 

door/10, i got to buck my hips against some nice morning wood.

I'll allow it! <3

Hey! Per the spirit of visual novels, we'll require images to be used. If you want to submit something that's text-only, we might recommend you do the REALLY BAD IF jam that's going on right now for interactive fiction!

GUARDS, KILL THIS GUY

truly one of the games ever made.

I link the discord for the collective that's hosting it in the jam description!

Hello! Stock images are good to use (Pixabay, Unsplash, etc), since you know the rights for use of the image. Do NOT use images you just picked off of Google, since you do not know the rights of those images or the person who made them. Do not use images that you do not have explicit permission for.

Using randomly generated words and prompts is completely OK! Generators are not AI, they are a tool to help authors!

part of it is allowing yourself to make mistakes. no drafts, no erasing, just...do it!

have a shower thought. make that shower thought a reality. put yourself in the headspace of yourself as a ten year old. how would you make a game at the age of ten? that's part of how i do it!

epic

this was oddly melancholic but very, very nice. i quite enjoyed this one!

despite it being so short, i LOVED the chemistry and banter between these two characters! this was great.

will not lie the variation in drawings is because i was Lazy[tm]! there's 6-7 expressions for each of them but eh. [throws up violently on the floor]. definitely need to get out of my pit of being lazy. i do have potential plans to add more endings or impact, so i do understand the nitpicks and everything! :D no worries whatsoever buddy.

i've only played kitty's hornets, which i really liked. very good piece though! i think my main inspirations are somehow the movie event horizon? and the weird vibes of horror tumblr in the mid 2010s. thank you for playing! i do appreciate the feedback, and i'm glad it was a good experience :3

THANK YOU CONNIE <3 mwah!!!

hey! thanks for being interested in streaming! ive been told a playthrough takes about 30 - 45 min. if you do all the endings, it may be a little over an hour! 

If you made a Russian translation, please message me about it on Discord! I'm catsket

Yeah, so Steam basically took down the files and threatened to remove the game's page entirely if I did not provide game files. They just...completely disappeared, and so did their depot. So, I uploaded new ones, and those SHOULD work,  but I fear I'm at the mercy of Steam for whether or not the game can be downloaded again.

thank you for the keychain comment! i'm glad you like them. i hope to make more and have them be more accessible.

second, i'm genuinely not sure what happened...i just reuploaded with a new build since the last had issues with screens. hope this one works

For some reason, the downloads were hidden on itch.io and were taken off Steam without my knowledge. They should be fixed here, and I'm waiting on a report from Steam to allow the Steam download back up.

the use of "pyjama" is inherently political and implies the unfortunate burden of being british

THAT WAS THE GOAL! THANK U

YES LET'S GO ANOTHER COPY PASTE COMMENT FROM YOUR GAME!

i'll allow it, because it reminds me of how "isaac" in angels of death has "zack" as a nickname!

seedcomp is an interactive fiction event where crestors make "seeds", or ideas (could be in the form of comics, game formats, artwork, music, whatever the hell), and in the second half, writers use those seeds to "grow" a game! mine, then, is a list of random warnings i've seen on games and fanfiction before that can be used to "grow" a game in the second round

i will be putting all of these in my mouth thank you

hi! thank you so much, this is such a sweet comment!! i'm glad you loved it! zack, the voice of dorian, sent me the tiktok and it definitely brightened up my day at work!

i also saw your comment about keychains and stuff, and i do plan on releasing a design for december or january!

somehow haven't commented yet that i need this bitch with a bad bob IN MY BED!!!

AHHHH thank you so much for this comment! i really appreciate it.

i ADORE vkei and malice mizer, but dorian wasn't inspired by it. i originally made dorian in a lobotomy corporation OC picrew, and he kind of spawned from there. maybe in another game i'll give him something more akin to kozi's outfits!!!

this has to be one of the most polished pieces i've seen in this sphere in recent months! every part of this is so engaging and beautiful. i'm looking forward to whatever comes next! you deserve all the love in the world, dear

what if we held hands and went to the park together

Hi! There are no plans to put this or Fatal Focus (because you commented on both) on Steam. The initial $100 cost and the effort that must be put in to upload to Steam is not worth it to me unless it's a commercial project.

I didn't think to add gamepad support to a visual novel.

hey y'all. good to see the entries so far! i've had to remove a few spam ones, but thankfully, the submissions have been pretty clean. THEY'RE LOOKING REALLY GOOD, AND I'M PROUD OF YOU!

just a reminder that this jam DOES NOT have a prize. the purpose of the jam is to make something in a short time. it's a lesson in scope. it's for fun. maybe you can put this game on your portfolio.

now, you may be wondering: oh, i can't finish the game in time! but i want to submit it for the jam! 

if this is the case:

• DM the user catsket on discord. that's me! if you can submit your entry 72 hours after the ending time, then i will allow you to submit it for the jam. 
  • this would require me sending you a specific link to submit, so we need that communication.
• if your entry will take longer than an extra three days, i will not allow it to be submitted. PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR PROJECT TO ITCHIO ANYWAYS! it will just not count for the jam

good luck everyone, and happy jamming!

this is a jam to just make games and have fun!
