I got the.. kind of nosy? ending first (the one where they get stuck in the closet or whatver) as my ship senses were tingling and guided me on the right path, and then i wanted to have danny and peter not be friends at all, so i forced myself to not let them interact and then when i saw the "he's kinda cute" dialogue from jodeci i immediately understood that this was not going where i thought it would. sadly, he did not turn bisexual for peter, but that's more realistic either way.
Having a self-aware side character as a temporary friend is one of the best experience i ever had
Also the last thing he says in the game made me want him to get a gf in a sequel lol- but i think it already exists so imma download more games made by you
(When jodeci says "i ship it" for the first time, he looks likes Miles Edgeworth, is this intentional :0 ?)
I just finished the whole game in one sitting and I WANT MORE!!!
The story flows really well and I liked the different endings a lot. Not to mention the CGs and sprites are very nice to look at! And the voiceacting sounds very natural, overall a great game and my only "criticism" is that I wanted it to be longer so I could play more-
I do plan on extending Jodeci and Peters stories in the future if I have time. But until then, you can try the main game or any of the other short spin off games. :D
rugby's better? RUGBY'S BETTER??????! danny how could you say that!!! AFL is obviously the way >:((( (enjoying the game so far lol it's so good to see Australian related content)
OMG pura joyita este juego, me e n c a n t o!! 😍😍 Amé a Jodeci (me sentí identificada) me encantaron todas las rutas aunque realmente me hubiera gustado ver al Jodeci feliz con alguien 🤧. Me encanto el arte y realmente espero q este magnífico autor(@) saque una secuela o algo así en donde pueda ver a mi Jodeci feliz 💗. (Xdios ame a ese personaje)
It's a funny game Jodeci is pretty likable. My fav ending was when Peter didn't end up with Danny because he still seems problematic. And i appreciate that this was an option.
I just wanna ask if there is any plan to make an android version of all the games published. I saw all of the games summaries and think that they're all great and wanted to play but there isn't any android version. Just asking, if there isn't any plan, its fine, I can just download the games in the future when I get my hands on an iphone.
It's a wonderful story! I loved it! Jodeci is very easy to empathize with and I very much enjoyed playing as him. You really captured the things that make side characters loveable and fun to play as. I wish the game was longer, but I can go with the short and sweet form the game has~
I hope we get the typical side story about the side character where they finally become the center of attention-. I want Jodeci to experience a happy ending for himself too...! This honestly kinda feels like a prologue to his story especially with the ending. Well, even without that, I still really adore the game and hope you make more of it~!
Its great! I'm still trying to find the last photo to complete the gallery, I'm a bit of a perfectionist lol, and it's super good!! 11/10 I would definitely recommend to my friends
This game was awesome ! I laughed so much !! I loved Jodeci a lot (poor boy still single xD) , he was awesome and a nice friend ! The fact we can betray or when we can spot that Danny isn't that nice sometimes was really appreciated. I liked the art a lot, and good job for the voice acting ! (love your voice miss garden btw)
So I noticed that it was a spin off so I bought the original game on steam (I will put a review there but I haven't finished the game yet)
I had a lot of fun so thank you for your hard work !!!
Hello!!! It's JC the football and envelope guy haha. I've finally got around to playing the game and it was an absolute delight from start to finish, I had SUCH a good time. Seriously can't stop smiling. Everyone is super cute, the writing is fun, and the voice acting is really great! What a wonderful little game. I also really appreciated the sort of mission statement in the info, about how even if you feel like a side character, your choices matter. Really nice!
So... I started playing this two minutes ago. I, admittedly, didn't read the info on your page. Something about the art and the presentation just clicked with me and I downloaded straight away. However, I named the "side character" with my actual name (doesn't happen often) and I am know laughing waay more than I ought to be. *Side-staring Danny* Have you guessed? ... Haha my sides hurt. Thanks for sharing your game! Looks cute so far.
Hi Sice! Haha, I have learnt that many people don't read past the title and art so it makes me happy to hear it was enough to draw you in. Glad you are enjoying it so far! Feel free to let me know your final thoughts and opinions when you finish the game. Red
Ahh I loved this so much! I played what I think is all of the endings? (the betrayal sequences got me kinda sad ngl lmao). This was a lot of fun, and I loved how the characters were presented realistically in comparison to other stories I've seen of this type. The MC was relatable which makes me feel slightly ashamed, but he's pretty cool so I gotta give him credit haha. I also really liked the other side characters a lot! Nathaniel's innocence had me rolling. This was worth my impatient, but completionist self playing haha
This game was so great! It was simple, wholesome, and realistic. It felt fun to play a likable and funny main character. It's short, but I'd say it's worthwhile.
Hi! So, I finally played the whole game (and not just one route) and thought I would leave a comment!
As I told in your messages, I really enjoyed this game A LOT. Like. A. Lot. I really found Jodeci entertaining as a protagonist but not a protagonist. In my first playthrough, I mostly sticked with Dan. I got to discover the other characters, who are as enjoyable as them!
I also liked the art, the music and the voice acting! I could see all of you guys worked really hard on this game to make it as polished as possible and, well, the magic at least worked on me! So, congrats!
Overall: a funny nice-looking and nice-sounding game to have fun with!
I'm so glad you played the rest of the game and liked it. It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed Jodeci's character, I try my best to create relatable and interesting characters.
OMG crossover/spinoff. Took me like 10 minutes to realize I actually got annoyed for a moment at what seemed to be reused art. Lol thats what i get for not paying attention to the authors of the games i play lol.
so im assuming the 4th ending is Protagonists love story? Any hints on how to get it, i have seen 3 endings so far.
My rhyming of “colon” with “semicolon” aside, the verse above surely betrays a passion few punctuation marks could hope to inspire — the passion inspired by a punctuation mark so tasteful, yet so flexible, that its devotees often find themselves wondering why they even bother with other, lesser marks. A mark — though tragically excluded from all standard keyboards — used by countless writers, reporters and students to add length and a probably-undeserved air of legitimacy to their writing. It is an elegant mark, for a more civilized age — the em dash.
As a testament to this versatility, in the above paragraph, I used em dashes in place of a comma, a pair of parentheses and a colon.
For those not in the know, the em dash is a punctuation mark appearing as a horizontal dash as long as the width of the font — traditionally the length of an uppercase “M.” It is not to be confused with its shorter, more lame, little brother, the en dash (“–”), and especially not to be confused with the hyphen (“-”), whose unique but near-exclusive use is in joining words together.
While I’ve mentioned the versatility of the dash, its range of uses is — unfortunately — finite. The most common uses are to indicate unnecessary or parenthetical information — such as I’m doing now — or to introduce a related clause or a list — typically the job of the colon. This is not to say, however, that the em dash is simply an interchangeable stand-in for other marks. On the contrary, while it may serve the same role as other marks, its effect is undeniably (though subtly) different — befitting its visual length, it gives the impression of a much longer pause than a comma or colon would, creating a greater sense of anticipation and importance. Used for parenthetical information, it isolates and emphasizes its contents much more than mere parentheses are capable of. In all uses, the em dash is slightly less formal and slightly more emphatic.
While I and everyone else who likes to act pedantic about punctuation may have their gripes with AP Style (the style guide used by most reputable American newspapers, including The Observer) for its tyrannical prohibition of the Oxford comma, I’ll give it credit for giving em dashes the respect and space they deserve — unlike most style guides, AP requires a space before and after the em dash.
If punctuation is to writing what percussion is to music, the em dash is an invaluable tool for writers to modulate the flow, tempo and mood of their writing. If I inspire even one person to try using an em dash, this column will have been a success — a world with more em dashes is a world I want to live in.

I appreciate you using your ship senses first go haha. I think most players get that ending first time around.
How do i save my progress?
(Edit:Nvm,i know how to do it now-)
ahahaha the side character with the 'DONKEY' haha I love that meme
me too XD
Danny sounds kinda like Katsuki Bakugo
I got all the endings in one sitting! I can't wait for more, I LOVE THIS GAME!
Thank you so much Cupid!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Feel free to check out my other ones. Otherwise I will probably make more for YaoiJam in the future. Haha.

this game is cool, i loved it with all my heart.
I LOVE JODECI HE'S SUCH A NICE GUY everyone deserves someone like he in their life
hi Helen!
Thank you for the kind words! I agree, everyone needs someone like Jodeci in their lives :)
is there a jodeci x danny or a jodeci x peter ending?
Only friendship endings when it comes to Jodeci in this game.
I just finished the whole game in one sitting and I WANT MORE!!!
The story flows really well and I liked the different endings a lot. Not to mention the CGs and sprites are very nice to look at! And the voiceacting sounds very natural, overall a great game and my only "criticism" is that I wanted it to be longer so I could play more-

Oh my, I like their v.a xD I enjoy playing the spin off <3
I like the VAs too, they're amazing and talented people :)
Thank you for playing the game!!
I enjoyed this game so much! <3 Hopefully Jodeci will also find love one day! :D
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Plans for Jodeci's story is currently in planning stages.
rugby's better? RUGBY'S BETTER??????! danny how could you say that!!! AFL is obviously the way >:((( (enjoying the game so far lol it's so good to see Australian related content)
How very dare you! :p
I dare!!
At least I didn't make them play cricket XD
LOL, touché! xD
I might live in aussie but.. rugby is the way >:'| or maybe its the poly genes speaking
OMG pura joyita este juego, me e n c a n t o!! 😍😍 Amé a Jodeci (me sentí identificada) me encantaron todas las rutas aunque realmente me hubiera gustado ver al Jodeci feliz con alguien 🤧.

¡Muchas gracias por tus amables palabras! Estoy escribiendo una historia corta para Jodeci, pero no será un juego, solo una novela corta. :)
Q BIEN!! Estaré ansiosamente atenta :D
It's a funny game Jodeci is pretty likable. My fav ending was when Peter didn't end up with Danny because he still seems problematic. And i appreciate that this was an option.
Thanks!!
Honestly it's probably the most realistic ending. How many times do friends reconcile after a falling out?
I just wanna ask if there is any plan to make an android version of all the games published.

The games are currently only available for Mac and PC. No plans to port them to Android or iOS at the moment but will consider it.
Thanks for replying!
I loved this game! The characters are all really cute. Especially Jodeci, what a sweetheart. The humour is great too, made me laugh! :D

I want to kiss your hand for creating such a good game. Dreams do come true * Chef kiss *
Im glad you enjoyed playing! :D
i Love this game you've fulfilled all my dreams im finally a side character
haha!! Happy to hear I am fulfilling dreams!XD
Credits scene is amazing i adore it omg
many thanks!
i see you used a format very similar to DDLC for the in-game menu. I respect that. Also I'm not very far in yet, but this music bussin!!!!
hi Ixphy!
Glad you like the music. :D
I haven't played DDLC, but if they used the RenPy engine to make it then it's probably similar because I just used the default format. Lol.
Its great! I'm still trying to find the last photo to complete the gallery, I'm a bit of a perfectionist lol, and it's super good!! 11/10 I would definitely recommend to my friends
Thanks Jam the Bard!
I create an account just to comment here, I really liked the game I laughed a lot, the music is excellent, the voices and acting are sublime!
Get on with these cool jobs!♥
Thank you so much!!
I wish there was an option to be male or female but either great game :>
ugh this hurts to play so much T^T the pain of wanting to be the main character. cause i really started to like Danny.
The side characters have just as much fun. Haha.
This game was awesome ! I laughed so much !! I loved Jodeci a lot (poor boy still single xD) , he was awesome and a nice friend ! The fact we can betray or when we can spot that Danny isn't that nice sometimes was really appreciated. I liked the art a lot, and good job for the voice acting ! (love your voice miss garden btw)
So I noticed that it was a spin off so I bought the original game on steam (I will put a review there but I haven't finished the game yet)
I had a lot of fun so thank you for your hard work !!!
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you liked the game. Haha,yes poor Jodeci. Will he ever find love?

Cool concept, mocking the BL tropes a bit ahah That's very much needed I feel xd
The art isn't my thing much, but it isn't kinda cool still. I'm gonna play that one for sure.
Ahh I loved this so much! I played what I think is all of the endings? (the betrayal sequences got me kinda sad ngl lmao).

I randomly saw you're a newly registered account. And because you liked this game, I assume you will also like a specific collection on my profile! ;)

i was laughing through the whole game.
Thank you!! I'm so glad you like it.
And it's another game based on Australia. Haha.
as someone who went to high school and lives in australia, i thank you.
That's awesome to hear!
Shall I compare thee to a semicolon?
Thou art more lengthy and more versatile —
Though oft-sufficed by mere comma or colon,
Thou art most beloved by me (and AP Style).
My rhyming of “colon” with “semicolon” aside, the verse above surely betrays a passion few punctuation marks could hope to inspire — the passion inspired by a punctuation mark so tasteful, yet so flexible, that its devotees often find themselves wondering why they even bother with other, lesser marks.

If I inspire even one person to try using an em dash, this column will have been a success — a world with more em dashes is a world I want to live in.
i made an account for the specific purpose to tell you how great the use of those em dashes were. Great Job!
Wow, the use of em dashes is incredible! Astounding job!
How much did Gunnar pay you to come here and say that?! Hahaha
hype
oh babey
Woahhh... my wondering has come true...
Haha. The game comes out on the 31st of August. So I wonder if you will find the answer to your wondering. ;)
