We got another entry from this year's Yaoi Game Jam, and it stands out with how intense it is. So fair warning, it delves into very visceral themes. But there's something about how its execution. it feels... raw. You'll see what I mean:

Another fun fact!
Did you know my best friend (the background artist) hid a little easter egg in every background? 👀
Who’s gonna catch ’em all? Like Pokémon, y’know?

My favorite background is this one 💜

Now that I've finished some post-jam polish, I'm happy to show off my #yaoigamejam game, Another Day in Paradise!

It's a short (2,811 word) scifi VN about growing old with the person you love. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!

A banner of my game proclaiming the title "Another Day in Paradise". In the background is a curtained window overlooking an ocean bay, and in the foreground is the main character of the game, a dog character with one floppy and one pointy ear.

A screenshot of my game showing off the fishing minigame!

A screenshot of my VN. The dog anthro character is standing in a city street, and the text box says "It's always sunny here, but never too warm, too cold, or too windy. It's always just right."
