Post-Jam Surveys 2026 are here!

Hello lovelies! 

Congratulations to all those who managed to submit, and good luck for everyone else, there is always a chance next year! 

As usual, it's time for post-jam surveys to see where we can improve in the future with both Otome & Josei Jam and its server (this is for all participants and server members) as well as whether you're interested in your project being featured by us (this applies only to those who managed to submit their game)!

Please make sure to read the surveys thoroughly, as we will not reach out to people who didn't fill out the survey properly. 

For the post-jam & server survey go here (until August 31st): https://forms.gle/AkW4g2ATxoiXTANn7 

For the game feature go here (until July 20th): https://forms.gle/TfLRsLjfrtWX8pqP9

Official Otome Development Blog!

Good day! As of today this is the official (test) blog of the Otome Development Discord Server!

We are a community on Discord creating a space for indie otome developers and creators to find and support each other, as well sharing their content to the world and their intended audiences. We exclusively reblog content by indie devs only and do not follow development or announcements by big companies such as Otomate.

Likewise, we will as well share game jams for indie otome devs to participate in, including our yearly Otome Jam & Josei Jam every May 1st to July 1st and Shoujosei Jam!

If you want us to easily find your content on Tumblr, please use the #otomedev hashtag for your indie otome content, and we will reblog it for you! As this account is not managed by a bot, we will review the posts themselves for their validity and will not reblog spam posts or unrelated content.

The basic guideline of otome content definition we reblog:

Protagonist has to identify with She/Her or She/They in the role of a female protagonist (this includes pronoun and protagonist choices)

Romantic Content/ Ending meant for a female audience (it does not have to be the main focus of the story you want to tell)

Must have at least one love interest identify with He/Him or He/They in the role of a male love interest (this includes customizable characters and their pronouns)

Preferably a visual novel or hybrid (e.g. RPG with VN/ Interactive Fiction elements)

Does not need to have multiple routes or endings

LGBTQ+ and Queer VN Content (and their characters) following the above criteria will be reblogged as well
