Thanks a million for all each of you did!

I would not have made my Yurivania series nor worked on any of the other games, tools, assets, and jams that I’ve made or helped with over the last five years if you all had not helped me pay rent and find a community.

Best of luck to all of you!

Fair enough; thanks for replying!

Really cool! Any plans for a physical release?

Thank you! I thought these might be small enough that it wouldn’t violate the spirit of the jam, but I totally understand saying “no”.

I hope everyone else has a great jam! ^_^

Hello! I began work on a game for Yuri Jam 2025 but got very little done. Specifically, I started working on a font and set of map tiles, but I have not created any finished maps.

Would using these assets be appropriate for this jam?

Thanks so much for your time and help!

Great work! Just played the latest demo and it’s quite fun and nostalgic! I did run into a few bugs, but I’m sure you will get to those in time. It’s interesting seeing the characters in tiny 8x8 format!

That makes sense! Can’t get much more narrative than an old school IF game! ^_^

Oh cool! What class, if you don’t mind me asking?

Nice to see an entry using Inform 7!

Feel free to ask any questions and we’ll be happy to answer 😄

Yes, so much!

I have been so busy lately and honestly feeling discouraged by a variety of factors (biggest being the payment processor fiasco) but reading your zine helped me see my work and my current situation in a new light and to feel much less defeated!

I’m very grateful!

Yes, that’s a-okay! The jam is not competitive and we don’t expect people to work the entire time. Some people only jam for a weekend, others work slowly the whole 2 months. If you need a little extra time at the end of the jam, just let us know :)

Thanks so much for making and sharing this! Lots of really cool ideas in here; I found it very inspiring!

Oooo, guess it’s time for me to replay this!!

Hey, sorry, I don’t know how we missed this question…. We had talked about this and decided that in the interests of avoiding gate-keeping we’re going to allow it Thanks for asking!

I love this!

Really nice to see a Nana/Vivienne Westood game, really cool to see such a femme typing game, really cool to see the focus on actual fashion terms, and cute couple!

I’m not the world’s best typist, so I wasn’t able to win her love, but that’s fair XD

If you take the idea further, I’d love some element that explains what the fashion terms mean!

Just FYI you might get more responses if you post on the Discord ^_^

Yes, that definitely counts! In general our intent is to be inclusive whenever possible.

If in doubt, you could ask yourself “Does the woman in the nonbinary x woman relationship think of herself as queer/gay/sapphic?” If the answer is “yes” then it’s even more suitable 👍

What a cool game! I really love the concept, the art style is fab, and I was impressed how she moves to different areas every time. Now I want to make a game like this!

Really cool concept and lovely graphics! I had a hard time working out how to control Penny on my end. I enjoyed the writing in the intro, too 🐁🐩💕

Submitted games don’t have to focus solely on the relationship, but our hope would be that the relationship is more than an afterthought. The jam is by design as wide open as possible and horror is popular among a lot of the developers here, so your game will probably fit right in.

Thank you! That’s really cool ^_^

✨Perfect✨

Excellent work!

Exciting!

Impressive plugin, too! I wish I had a better grasp of JavaScript!

Great job!

I keep coming back to this from time to time, but I still have not gotten anywhere. I don’t have the skills I had back in the ’90s! XD

Great work! It’s looking good 😺

Oh yay, I’m glad you liked it so much! 😁

Super good! I really enjoyed this.

I love it! 🖐👻

Overall great work! I’m excited to see where you take this

Really fun! Interesting aesthetics with shades of Basin Lake and Monster Party.

I wasn’t sure I was getting what it had to say until I got to the area where you’re falling and the background repeats “turn back” — which clearly you can’t do.

I hope that in the future there’ll be the option to turn off the flashing, as I get migraines and it was a little rough playing those parts 😵

Amazing, I love it! This is both hilarious and depressing, stressful and fun. Great work! 💀💅

Cute!

Cute! I love the concept, and I like how the game boy was kinda mech for the cartridge XD

Excellent mood and fun animation! 🕰🧶

Great work! 🦑🌘

Awesome concept and well executed! I like how you were able to distill the story into a few scenes in 60 seconds 💭⌚
