As long as the demo at least has suggestive content (kissing, heavy petting, dirty talk) then it is fine! If the demo features absolutely no suggestive content then it will not be accepted.

DLC chapters for Ardency aren't off the table! If I feel like more stories need to be told, I will definitely revisit them! 

Honestly there wasnt really anything specific! I knew I wanted a horned race and the Mazakoi were born from that. Their "mating/mate" behavior was inspired by my friend (she helped me flesh out how it worked) after we both got into Ruby Dixon's work though!

thanks grey!!! ur support means the world!

Do you have any experience with renpy or the renpy UI?

Added an option to now pay with debit or credit card! 

So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!

Thank you for playing Grey!!! So happy you had fun!!!

Look for someone to do a western themed custom GUI for a noncommercial visual novel. This is a paid gig. Please comment below if interested!

Here is a route guide for the good endings! To unlock the first CG for Artie and Moira, you just need to talk to them after capturing Kasanov in the beginning of the game! To unlock Claudin's CG, you need to walk with him, tell Kasanov he is bold, and then punch him. 

This would be allowed! We mainly just want to avoid any horror/traumatizing elements (rape, abuse, brutal torture, etc) which it sounds like you don't have anything leading to that nature. This sounds like a well thought out BDSM-esq game that is welcomed and we look forward to your entry!

Can't wait!!! Glad you are refreshed too!

MC is set to she/her pronouns only. The MC is nameable, but is a cisgender female. If you're looking for a Lacydigital Studios game with more pronoun options, you may want to try out Roped In! Thanks for the interest!

Smut Writing 101:

Lacy's Guide to NSFW Writing for Visual Novels

How to Write Compelling Erotica

10 TIps for Writing (Good) Smut

NSFW is the main vibe we are aiming for with this jam, but we will also accept suggestive works for those new to smutty writing!

NSFW for this jam is considered to be more blatant sexual acts described in detail and/or portrayed with art.

Suggestive content we consider to be things such as making out, heavy petting, dirty talk, and foreplay. You may then lead it into a "fade to black" scenario if you so choose!

The aim is to have games submitted to this jam where a romantic, erotic story is told! 

A good example of an NSFW game is Lacy's game, Roped In.

You may also make any NSFW/suggestive scenes optional. Other than that, as long as you stick to the jam's rules - you are good to go!

If you still are unsure, feel free to head on over to the Questions thread in the community board!

Curious about the jam? Want to know if your planned ideas will work/be allowed? Ask here!

Super fun game! Loved the characters, the art was great, and I was obsessed with the GUI! Also love the shorter length as it was perfect to sit down and enjoy in one night! 

Aw I'm glad you enjoyed it! They were the sweetest little guys back then!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! And that could be a fun side story, I will keep it in mind!

Woo! This is amazing! I remember when Hunters first came out and I got it the day of! I just wanted to tell you how much I ADORE this game, and I know others may compare it to the first Demonheart, but Hunters on its own is wonderful it its own way! Thank you for updating it and I am super excited to play the new maps! Also, I loved the ending I got originally and thought the writing throughout was phenomenal, but thank you for your extra hardwork! (Also can't wait for Raze to meet another cat, haha!)

Thank you so much Lila! You are too kind! Yeehaw!

This was so beautifully written and a wonderful retelling of Cinderella! Henri was amazing and the art fit the fairytale themes perfectly!

Thank you for your kind words! Next year holds some surprises for Roped In fans!

Let me just say: this game is totally worth playing. The story is so well written and the characters and all dynamics shared between them are realistic. I loved how the age gap between the two main characters was handled and their romance felt organic.

The art, music, and voice acting was just icing on the cake to the games strong base: story and dialogue. This studio continues to put out high quality games that I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys a good love story (that offers a few laughs too!) 

You can choose the mc’s pronouns from either he, she, or they! (So you can play as a female MC!)

Thank you, Joy😭 and youre right, only thing better than one cowboy is two!

Thank you, Snakkiez! And of course, I hope everyone loves the Boone (Balls)!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so happy you loved our Boone boy! And I am glad the inclusivity and flexibility is not going unnoticed (gotta let everyone have a little bit of the cowboy!)

It will be free to play!

Thank you so much for your support! Roped In will be coming out soon! Official release date TBD! 

This is one of the best takes on the "superhero" trope I've ever experienced. I was enamoured with Ray from the get go! I really loved him and how complex and well written his story was!

Fun fact! The graphic in this is wrong and the game will be 70% off so it will be $2.10. I can't do math!

This was such a lovely game. The music, art, and writing really tied everything together. The best way to describe it was so truly poetic and sweet. This had a very meaningful message I think could be interpreted in a few different and wonderful ways. I am not familiar with the original greek tale, but even without that background I still felt connected with this game. Amazing work for the jam!

thank you for playing joy! i loved watching your reactions to the characters and i hope you enjoy the full game when its out!

I am so glad I finally got time to play this game! Everything about this was so well done. The art, voice acting, GUI, music selection, EVERYTHING I loved! Also the characters were so intruiging and Shay became my favorite right off the bat! Lovely work and what a well written story, definitely everyone needs to check this out if they want a good story with relatable characters and a game with a ton of love put into it!

Okay, there are so many amazing things I can say about this game. First off, I was already familiar with this devs work, so I knew going in I was going to have a great time!

-The music is beautiful and perfectly chosen for every scene, also the voice acting is top notch and suited to each character

-The lore of this world is well written and intriguing. Plus it is not hard to follow and I really get captivated as a part of it!

-I loved the choice options (any game that offers me a personality system for the MC is good in my book!)

-The glossary terms being highlighted and able to be scrolled over for context is such a great feature that helps you keep track of the story and who's who.

-THE CHARACTERS, okay. I was already a Keldran enjoyer going into this so I may be biased but OH MY GOODNESS. He is just so perfectly flirty and lovely, I couldn't get enough!

All in all I cannot wait for the full game, and pretty much anything else this dev puts out as their work is always top tier and shows how much love and care goes into their games!

One of my favorite things about this game is the completely different designs of the love interests! It really caught my eye (I am a fan of Reynold for sure!) The story so far is unique and fun, a really enjoyable otome! Cant wait for the rest of the routes!
