Love you like an Energy Drink [Yurijam][Sports][Cute]

Story
Elaine is enjoying life, her parent's are awesome, good friends, good food to enjoy everyday, it seems like nothing could be wrong in her perfect life.

Apart from she doesn't fit into anything anymore *le gasp*! It seems she's been eating to much and not getting enough exercise recently and decides to join the local gym, having the choice between certain activities: dance, swimming, and running.

Little does she know that she'll meet some very special people there, who may become more.

Characters

Our sassy heroine, who seems to have developed a problem with her weight. Is very chilled out and relaxed, but watch out, she has a mean streak!


Appears cold and aloof, but is actually a huge softy. Rarely understands jokes and is fairly naive about humor in general, though not in a cold way, having earned the nickname 'Satellite'. Loves to swim.


A brash girl who is quick to anger, though isn't overly viscous if you do prick her temper, though she can hold a grudge. Is extremely girly and loves bright colours, and to run of course. Happens to be a transgender person.


A pair of dancers who are glued to each others hips. Riley is a sensible girl, and thinks logically. She would love to become a professional ballet dancer, but is cursed with terrible balance. In comparison, Antonia, 'Toni' for short, is far more fun loving and carefree, and is far more naturally talented than Riley, though lacks focus. Did they mention that their dating and still looking for someone to join their duo?

Wouldn't this go in the WIP: Short noncommercial games?

Anyway, I'm really excited for this! I really love the variety of everyone and that logo is so cute.

[Fox Lee]

Ahh, so cute! XD I don't think I've ever seen a sports-themed yuri game before. I'm really looking forward to this! Sam is my favourite so far :3

I just put it here since this is where all the other yuri jam games seem to be going.
And thanks you, I think z did a fantastic job!

Haha I though a sport-theme would be fun to work with~ And woo! Another Sam fan #bestgirl

[Michalina]

I'M
SO EXCITED FOR THIS

It looks so adorable, the art style is very cute and the characters are great <3 Good luck with your project!

[Shinoki]

This looks really good--premise and art! Just a note that you spelled characters wrong though.
Elaine doesn't look all that chubby, but the thing is... :v women worry about their weight a lot, huh. (even though I'm a girl too)

I love the fact that... someone actually has freckles. (I know that there are other characters out there that are drawn with freckles... but when looking at anime characters in general...) On the other hand, Sam seems like my favorite right now.

OH MY GOODNESS HOW DID I MISS THAT? Thanks for pointing it out though XD And yea, Elaine isn't fat per say, just a bit chubby, but she's certainly 'bigger' than all the other girls, it's more obvious in her sports gear though.

And I love freckles as well~ And I do love Sam, she's such a cutie pie >.<

I was gonna mention that too - that she really doesn't look overweight to me - but then I remembered, trying to judge anybody's weight from the outside is problematic ^_^;

I reckon, assuming she's not dangerously under or over weight (and obviously she isn't) all that really matters is just that it's her desire to lose a bit. As long as she's not being bullied or pressured, pursuing her preferred weight sends a positive message regardless of how chubby she looks to any of us :)

Ah, I'm sorry ><;;
It's probably because I didn't make her face chubbier haha, but Elaine is definitely curvier than the other girls (and some rolls that are easy to hide XD)
Sorry if the cropped profile was misleading ><;;;
//might give Elaine bigger thighs/arms though XD

Height Chart

And I agree with Fox Lee's perspective, and hope that Rinima and I will create a positive message about cute girls doing sports, no matter what their weight is~

[noeinan]

Trans and polya representation? This looks great, I'm looking forward to it!

[Rinima]

Note on the weight thing: The aim for Elaine is just to reach an ideal weight for herself, and she's doing it just for herself, no other reason. I hope I write a positive message in this though.
