eclipse.gay/blog/faggot-... Reading @demoneclipse.bsky.social to prepare for Queer Games Convention this weekend

I'm watching other people's falling block jam entries and they're all so cool and unique!!

PICK-1K I made a wordlike roguesearch. You have to pick 1 "K" in a letter grid, and after each success you pick a new detriment -- AND the letters of the detriment you selected get added to the grid, making it harder to find the next K. Made in exactly 1024 bytes for #pico1k jam!

TETRISNT: 2-IN-1 BLOK PAK Two variations on the classic for #fallingblockjam! In SCORETRISNT, there are no clears, instead you have 3 scoring objectives that get you points based on block placement. In MATCHTRISNT, you must connect 3 like pieces to clear them gamedevbrook.itch.io/tetrisnt

I've been making a genuine effort to use the term "fanworks" instead of "content" I feel like it's important, with the rise of fandom fracturing into a "consumer demands" type of vibe instead of the old hobby enjoying and friendship vibe I am more used to

I'm making a wordlike roguesearch for #pico1kjam!

I keep telling youngins that Indie Animation stretches further back beyond the last 10 years. Sesame Street, PBS were so impactful to culture. We need government funded outlets to make up for all the ways corporations fail us by stealing, commodifying and cheapening art.

i’m sorry for making a demoscene at your D E R A S N A D U L F

I've been approached by several people offering partnerships and sponsorships and I'm proud to announce Falling Block Jam is brought to you by: Lesbians

Post a screenshot of your first 5 Steam purchases and let Busky judge you

I talked about indie games at a PowerPoint party, here's a bunch of recs

since I'm seeing people pooh-poohing valid criticism of itch on the timeline I feel like I should elaborate in a few ways they had time to prepare for this. they didn't. we have known this was coming for years, and even then steam got hit first, they had *weeks* of warning at absolute minimum.

Falling Block Jam is now open for sign-ups! In September, let's put our own spin on this classic genre combining blocks and gravity in games. #FallingBlockJam itch.io/jam/falling-...

I'm taking my interactive clown show to Montreal this September for QGCon, the Queerness and Games Conference! @qgcon.bsky.social I've been following this conference for years and years, and to get to be a part of it, among legendary artists and theorists is a dream come true.

really annoying to hear the ghosts in pacman called "ai" when in reality they're the souls of 4 teenagers who broke into an arcade one night on a dare

Itch's new content policy is: 1. We can't tell you what violates the rules. 2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made. I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

something something write faggot games now more than ever, now even if you don't usually write erotica, now for all of us, for those that need to remember we're human despite being banned, delisted, and erased.

little sister necrophilia crying to her older sisters zoo and pedo because no one takes her seriously anymore. "they didnt even include me on the itchio list" she says, while her older sisters bully her and...well. you know

Now live on the Patreon: a post-mortem of NEET Ozma, the media analysis / criticism site I made for exclusively transfem writers / editorial. The site still exists, but it never became what it was supposed to be. Why? www.patreon.com/posts/neet-o...

i am complying with itch's new policies and making a wholesome and payment processer-friendly version of my game

I went to a variety show last night, and a 16 year old furry clocked me and came over to show me her pokemon fusion art and animal fusion ocs. it was really sweet :)

The thing with these is that payment processors/Itch can do some very broad readings of these. They seem specific but the devil is in the wording.

New video essay! This time I'm joined by special guests @colewehrle.bsky.social , @xoe.gay , @jdragsky.bsky.social , Erin Escobedo, and @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social as I explore the impact of player counts & scaling on the types of experiences games create. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-s2...

I'll be attending @qgcon.bsky.social this September! I'll be showing off my artgame about recovery from bottom surgery and checking out all other other artistic and commercial games made by awesome queer folks www.qgcon.org/2025/arcade

Just checked against my list of queer adult games I keep maintained and, fuck, this is brutal Prior to this adult games didn't show up as quick results in the search bar, now they are just gone from searches altogether itch was the last platform hope we had for adult queer games going forward 😔

people are already like "don't push against itchio! Push against the payment processors!" Hey, you know what would help push against the payment processor? If Itchio helped. At all. Even a little bit. But no, just no warning, no notice, just an axe to our necks. They aren't your friend.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

This is terrifying. projects are being hidden, some even removed entirely. all for what? I thought itch was the best place for queer art and works. I've hosted multiple educational and artistic pieces there!

🚨🚨🚨 Indie website itch.io has just rolled out a major shadow ban of NSFW content. This drastic escalation in censorship already seems to affecting trans authors. TRANS AUTHORS ON ITCH: Please check you pages. I am going to report on this TONIGHT. To those affrcted, DM me with any info.

My pinball dating sim is officially OUT! Pinball Crush is a chill cozy game with a silly dating sim progression system. Steam and Itchio links below! 💖 #pinball #datingsim #indiedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart #cozy #stream #itchio #arcade #cutesy

I'll be in Montreal for www.qgcon.org in September! Anyone know of what else to do while up there? Or any people to meet?

I remember watching GDQs in early transition and seeing that they had to turn off twitch chat when a trans person was even just reading donations aloud and now there are kaizo Mario runs where there are four trans people on camera and a crowd cheering behind them.

Are you a trans or queer game dev with a demo or released game? Fill out the form for a chance to have it demoed in the 10PM-1AM EST block of our stream! tinyurl.com/bdfed63u - Entries will be added to the "Wheel of Woke" - A new game will be chosen every 20 minutes - All entries will be published

coming soon: SUZi, a new TTRPG about sex robots! everyone starts with the same character, you play a solo game with lifepaths to figure out how you broke free, and then you work together to stay safe from humanity and eventually transcend the limitations of form (art by @robbiaburns.bsky.social)

logistics to get the trans girl polycule to the function be like "if I leave my foxgirl gf with my chickengirl gf they'll start fucking nasty and then we'll be late but if I leave my chickengirl gf with my corngirl gf then same thing, and my car only seats two bc of my emotional support trash piles"
