This is from yesterday but I'll start; made a concept sketch for a character in the game I'm working on.

This thread is for sharing what you worked on today to help with motivation. It can be a sketch, it can be as simple as "I wrote a few paragraphs for a scene".

A couple rules:

• Please keep posts in this thread SFW. 
• Try and keep it relevant to the project you're working on (e.g "I went out to take some photos for backgrounds" is fine, just try and keep it dev focussed).
• Commenting on others work is encouraged, but please avoid criticism unless specifically requested by who you're responding to.

For completely vibes based reasons, you now have an two extra weeks to compete for an extra $100 in the prize pool bringing the submission date to the 3rd of May and the winnings to $150, $90, $60 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Q) Why?

• Lots of people joined, that makes me happy. I think it would be cool if you had more to work with.
• I like the theme and I probably won't do it again so it has to be good this time.
• Funny.

Good luck out there play nice everyone.

Since I don't have a centralized Discord or anything, I figured I would share a few things here that I've learned or have been shared with me in the gamejams I've participated in. I might come back in to update this at points.

1. BACK UP YOUR WORK. Seriously. You don't want to be in the situation where your hard drive dies and kills everything you worked on. It can and does happen. Having an external drive or syncthing to automatically keep things on different devices are good approaches.
2. Eat and sleep and take care of your basic needs. Your ability to work will rapidly go down if you don't do these things. It's not a marathon and I'm not expecting everyone to submit some grand epic. Take your time, go at your own pace.
3. If you're writing something with a script, consider having it all written down and organised separately in whatever writing software you choose. I recommend Obsidian, which can also be used in conjunction with Syncthing to go between desktop/phone/laptop or whatever you like.
4. If you're hurting for inspiration, try not to worry too much. You might need to do a little research or look at some body of work for inspiration, or you might simply need to take a break.
5. Kill the perfectionist in you. If you succumb to it, you'll burn energy driving yourself in circles. There are a million little things someone could say to get better at writing or creating in any medium, but I truly do think there is no substitute for simply making the damn thing and having it done.
6. Kill the cop in your head. Develop a vomit fetish.

If anyone has any specific questions about the jam or wants advice they can ask here. I can't guarantee I'll answer because I'm very lazy.

Good luck everyone.

Can't release here, you can't make money on adult games on itch. I would have already done so if I could.

Working on a Steam release. No idea if this will be possible. Will update here if it works.

Love Bug, I feel like she'd get stuck under the couch and you'd only find her after like a few hours when you hear her faintly mumbling to herself. 

Really wonderful little VN thank you.

So wonderful. Cute little diorama for lovesick bitches. Thank you.

Thank you.... Gosh, yes this is kind of how it felt to make it. So I hope it feels that way to play it too hehe.

Thank you so much. Happy it resonated with you that way.

Ehhehhee thank you Kyou.... I also still think about that comment, that's more or less what i was going for. Glad you enjoyed...

WahHHhhhh thank you so much Mala ;_;
Happy you enjoy both characters, I think a lot about Millicent and that type of entity too so I'm glad... Everyone stares at Ember anywhere she goes so it's ok, that makes it fine... Mill will protect her now....

Fuck.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

God. Fuck. God

Wonderful. I feel a little bit sick. Thank you.

I feel like there's not much I could say that isn't just re-stating what's it's doing on a surface level BUT: For a while now I have been feeling the conspicuous gap between the popular conception of toxic yuri, and the actual, more mundane, usually completely unglamorous ways that harm is inflicted in the real world. This speaks an ugly reminder of that gap. Also it was hot. Thank you

thank you death.... happy some of those feelings came through... really glad you enjoyed it >.<

thank you nadia... wahh..... happy you liked it >.<

thank you! their relationship might be kind of evil in a lot of ways but it is "what happened" and there are a lot of reasons we end up at this point. in a sense, they are good for each other. i'm happy you enjoyed it.

thank you, happy it felt authentic ^^

thank u... i wanted to make her coming back to mill feel more painful after the fact, but they are simply built for each other like a car wrapped around a tree after a crash.

Thank you ... Glad this aspect of ember comes through.  Mill will take good care of her new doll.
