Hey guys, I'm recruiting a team for Yaoi Jam. It's about a surfer boy falling in love with a merman. Since we've still got a while until Yaoi Jam starts, things are still very much in the concept stage. 

I want this to be a successful game. Here are some of my goals:

 Around 15k words.
 Sweet, cute romance.
 Embraces LGBT+ identity.

My role on the team is mainly as a programmer and GUI Artist. That's what I have the most experience with. But, I'm willing to work on pretty much every aspect that needs help. Except maybe music, since that's a big weakness for me. I know how to appreciate it, but the finer aspects of music have always flown right over my head.

Also, I will warn you, my English seems alright only because I have a paid subscription to Grammarly which helps a lot. I always put everything I write through it first, before I post it. This includes text messages. So it takes me some time to reply if it's anything that needs accurate grammar. If I reply quickly and my English is terrible, you know why.

I already have a few lovely people who have volunteered to work on this project with me:
Selidor: An insanely talented BG artist.
a': Proofreader who also helps out with ideas and inspiration.
xXCrybabyXx: An awesome writer who helps me figure things out.

The roles I'm looking for are:
Writers: I can write... somewhat. People tell me that my writing feels too "unrealistic" at times, and I'm also quite slow at it. So I'll take as much help as I can get in this aspect.

Artists: Like I said above, I can draw a little. But the game would be much better with a quality artist who can make the game stand out visually. We'll be working together closely to determine the aesthetic of the game. Since I'm a UI/UX Design student, I know a significant amount about what is appealing. So don't worry that you'll be working with someone totally clueless about design .

Editors and Proofreaders: I don't know much about editing and proofreading, but what I do know is that it's crucial to make sure that the game is consistent. 

Literally anyone who likes the idea: Seriously, even if you don't want to be part of the production team, or if you just want to help in bits and pieces, it doesn't matter! We can still chat and talk about ideas together!

Who am I?
That's a good question, you probably would be reluctant to work on a game with a total stranger. I know I would! I'm Ryan, just a guy who loves VNs (especially if it's gay ). I've been playing them for quite some time, but the idea to make them has been more recent. I'm most experienced in coding... in Java. Yeah, that's pretty much a useless skill in game development now, but I'm also learning some C# and HTML/CSS so I can be more up-to-date.

Discord server:
If you're on the fence about joining, you can always join the Discord server to get a feel for the game! Here is the link:

Thanks for reading my (very long-winded) recruitment post, I hope I didn't bore you, and that I will hear from more people soon!

Hey everyone!
I'm looking for a video/trailer maker for my yaoijam project.

I have the music and some art assets, just need to know what else I need to obtain to make the video. I have a rough idea of what I'd like to see, so looking for someone that can follow art directions whilst still suggesting creative spins on things.

This is a paid position granted successful funding is acquired.

You can find out more on the game  here.

Please either contact me via twitter: @redchan17 or email: withoutpenorpaper@live.com.

You can also contact me on discord but I am less active there: Red#8891

If you have any questions about the project or what I want in the trailer feel free to ask.

Howdy! My name is Gunnar.

I'm looking for any teams that I can contribute music to! If anyone needs music (or more music) added to their game, please contact me! I'm happy to help!

My main day job is as a game designer/developer, but in this case I just want to help out as a composer! I'll produce music for you, a fair bit of it if you'd like, for FREE! What can beat the price of f~r~e~e amirite?

In terms of music I can provide, a good example is my most recent game jam game, made for the GMTK game jam: https://gunnar-clovis.itch.io/flip-stride

There I made a five-minute long music track, and created four different versions of it using different instrumentation. I swapped between two of those versions as the side-flipping gameplay went on, creating a nice dynamic audio effect with the player's interactions. That music is pretty intense EDM music, as that's an action runner game, but I can make a wide variety of genres, from the soothing to the tense, from chill lofi hip hop to dramatic acoustic. Just let me know what you're looking for!

You can message me here on itch.io, or DM me on Discord at Gunnar Clovis#2913

I hope I can help!
