@grumpygamer I'm not affiliated with them, but I was quick to dismiss a game that I didn't initially think was for me. Now as penance I'm reaching out, encouraging you to take another look at their game, since it was officially released this year, and maybe give it a fresh share here on Mastodon to help increase their reach.

Hey @grumpygamer! Today I met the creator of Queer Quest, someone you also met 8 years ago, at XOXO. I played a little of their game and was impressed with the quality of the gameplay and the consideration for the player, while telling a story that was unfamiliar, a little scandalous, but also surprisingly relatable.

Yesterday I wanted to read a bunch of game design articles, but I had other work I needed to be doing. I wanted them narrated to me in the background and I didn’t want to pay for some AI narration subscription service. https://kevinthompson.info/blog/converting-blog-posts-to-audio-files/

I ended up starting an entry for the @pursuingpixels game jam (https://itch.io/jam/pursuing-pixels-james-jam-game-gam-3) in #pico8 on my stream this evening. The theme is “Parallel”. I have a little two player game started and I like where it’s going so far. Going to keep tinkering on it this week.
