Here's an interesting #CallForGames for an upcoming magazine on games as poetry: Game Poems

Lots of details to consider, but it is paid!

GAME POEMS

Game Poems is an online literary magazine dedicated to exploring the artistic and poetic potential of short-form video games.

"The subtlety, elegance, and hunger of the human spirit is obvious everywhere in video games, neither constrained by nor separable from the interactive components, bounding boxes, and digital assets that shelter them." —Eavan Boland (adapted)

The Moon That Fell for the Star is a yuri VN by Team ANPIM. In it, the protag takes an annoying roommate on a whim and, well, most likely ends up crushing on her. No idea yet why moons and stars, though...

The Moon That Fell for the Star.
"Annoying roommate yuri visual novel."

I released a small Twine game, the Passing of Autumn, an adaptation of a short story I wrote 20 years ago, and this is the feedback I've gotten so far:

evocative description
interesting setting
well adapted to interactivity
too long
too repetitive if you want to replay
not enough background on the dyad

I will keep these in mind for the future!

Discoloured photo of a tilted pipeline running next to a damaged chainlink fence through some forested hills. Hand written over this is the title "the Passing of Autumn" and a symbol the author uses to represent herself.

Questions for future research:

Will people buy small queer premium games on Itch?
on Steam?
on eShop?
on PlayStation Store?
on retro cartridge?

I have anecdotes about all of the above, but aside from Itch I haven't done any serious research

Official announcement from #QGCon regarding remote participation for those facing difficulties travelling to/from Canada. More info to follow.

Update on remote presentations (Feb 7, 2025)

We've received many questions about what QGCon will do to accommodate people who cannot come to Canada in the current geopolitical context. While QGCon has always been livestreamed, we are considering what more we can do to accommodate remote presentations and remote arcade presenters.

As the situation continues to evolve, we are watching closely and gathering information about the community’s needs concerning remote conference access. We are investigating workable, practical alternatives and look forward to sharing them with you closer to the conference.

In the meantime, we strongly encourage you to apply with your game, project, talk, workshop, or other incredible queer thing, even if you don’t know whether you can make it in person. Please don’t self-select out of QGCon – in the event that coming to Canada is unfeasible, we will work with you to ensure you can meaningfully participate.

Despite everything, we’re looking forward to being in community with you!

My most-anticipated game of the year is THE ALTERS, a sci-fi survival game with an ensemble cast made up of alternate versions of the main character. I played the demo last week and loved it. Plus, at least one of the clones has a queer love story in his past, which is very neat. The game is set to come out in March and I am dyyyying to play the full version.

Winter Makes Me Lonely But at Least I Have You is a spin-off of the lighthearted poly yuri visual novel series Yuki's 4P. Based on the previous games, I'm expecting this one to be funny and really sweet.

Main character of the series looking at the camera, giggling and blushing. Another character at the background looking at her phone, wearing a night gown. The text "Poly Yuri short story" tactically covers her cleavage just to make sure uncle YouTube doesn't throw a tantrum over the thumbnail.

Back to appreciating goth x knight yuri in 2025 too. Last time we were introduced to interesting plot twists, but I wouldn't mind the knight just admiring the wonders of modern life the rest of the game too.

Every Glyph from Yurivania 3

Jenever needs to craft most of these from recipes during her adventure

I'm really pleased with how they all came out

Most of them are inspired by characters from the Voynich Manuscript and the rendering into 8-bit is borrowed (with slight modification) from Rebecca Bettencourt's incredible Fairfax bitmap font

→ If you're interested in the Voynich Manuscript you should check out her beautiful Voynich fonts!
