Made a VERY TINY game for #AceJam2025...

Come and play the CUTEST two to three minutes of your day!!

"Mari calls for me, their voice calm and unworried. The name they use is: menu: "My given name, Aries": "Aries. A gift from my mother, carefully selected with consultation from the village elders." "A celestial name. A prayer to the celestial beings. A wish for protection. A symbol of my mother's devotion to her small, fragile child." "A cherished name." [break] "A chosen name": [MC]. A name I have carefully chosen for myself. My given name holds too many memories—a burden I can no longer carry. I can remember my mother, but I cannot bear the hopes and desires she placed on me so long ago." "It's too painful to hear the name she gave me coming from another's lips."

a family emergency means we won't finish our #AceJam2025 entry in time, but we'll still finish it once we're back home!

In the meantime, here's an excerpt where the player can choose to go by Aries or by a chosen name ^-^ both valid choices that reveal a bit about Aries's relationship to his mom

A screenshot of writing written in a code file. It reads "The next few hours pass in a blur of takeout and taking out enemies. All the while, Citrine's side presses comfortingly against mine. Citrine's love language is physical touch. I learned that pretty early on. Around the same time they told me they were both sex and romance averse. "The curse of physical touch," they lamented, "is that if it happens enough people think it means something sexual." I admit, I hadn't thought about it that way. Of course, I think about it all the time now. But I'm glad they never have to worry about me misreading their signals when our arms brush."

I often lament how talking about sex averse/repulsed asexuals has the potential to lead to talking more about sex than, ironically, when talking about allosexuals

Anyway, sometimes it can be This Easy

Meet Citrine (They/Them) Nerissa's Queerplatonic Partner!

Ace Jam 2025: create games with asexual spectum characters What better way to kick off a new year than with the annual Ace Jam, tasking participants to create a game with one or more asexual spectrum characters?

Let's get some new games with asexual spectum characters made for Ace Jam 2025!

A text logo comprised of the words "And Around Goes the Clock." The "And" is orange, "Around" is seperated into "Aro" and "und" with the "Aro" being blue and the "und" being white. "Goes the Clock" is yellow. All letters have a dark blue outline, and then a second white outline around the first. Notably these are the colours of the Aroace Pride Flag. The logo is on a dark blue background.

I'm making a #VisualNovel for #AceJam2025 and #AroJam2025!

And Around Goes the Clock or #AndAro for short

Nerissa is a demi-aroace magical girl. On Valentines Day she gets hit by an arrow. Seemingly harmless at first, fate conspires to return her to that moment over and over again
