Absolutely agree with this sentiment to the point where I maintain a curated list of visual novels, specifically queer ones, that I absolutely think folks need to check out

Visual novels are an incredibly accessible form of storytelling, for both players & creators, and y'all should be playing more

Digital Diversity - LGBTQIA Made Games - Collection by EnbyKaiju A collection by EnbyKaiju

I'm also always generally looking out for more queer games hosted on itch to add to the big Digital Diversity list

So if you're a queer gamedev and you've got something on itch io that I don't already have on the list, let me know so I can add it! 😊
(no gen"ai" of course, take that crap elsewhere)

all great games before this moment were made without genAI and I'm not sure why we must bloat industry output infinitely until the whole exercise is so unsustainable that we need to use robots to keep up

This is not a paid gig, but I totally understand πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ perhaps in the future, I'm very early into starting up. I hope you find a game that meets your needs and is able to pay you what your work is worth!! your art is beautiful.

it is not paid as it's volunteer based for a game jam 🫢 apologies for not clarifying initially in the post.

In "A Simple Re:Quest," you find yourself taking part in a month-long augmented reality game (ARG) designed for teams of 2 players. Your teammate?

Hello! My team is working on a visual novel for #swakjam about a cabin caught in time, and the cheeky ghost sharing it over your getaway. Focus on themes of grief, superstition, and connection.

LF: artists for CGs (5 indoor+outdoor) BGs (6-8 in cabin, woods ) and Sprites (2 char + 3-4 alts each)

Casual reminder to never give reviews of artists to paypal, EVEN POSITIVE ONES; theres zero benefit to it and puts both you and them at risk

If you want to say something positive about the artists work then either say it directly to them NOT THROUGH PAYPAL, or recommend them to all your friends

Hi! If you're new to Bluesky and enjoy steampunk, visual novels, or are otherwise in the mood for what's basically a 90min theatre piece in videogame form…

Some absurdly skilled humans were kind enough to hop aboard this project with me earlier in the year. It's got a very special spot in my heart.

Shoutout to commission clients who send crude mockups and stick figure drawings to get across the idea of what they want for their comm. You don't need advanced art skills to communicate concepts.

Random detail: this nerd's vision isn't monocular, but making his less impaired eye (right) match the one I use for >70% of my seeing was *very* deliberate…purely so that I wouldn't get left-right confused in the script πŸ˜…πŸ˜†

(I only use one eye at a time, but my brain swaps between 'em contextually.)
