For Black History Month 2025, I wanted to create an as-comprehensive-as-possible evergreen directory for Black Game Dev projects that could be referenced in the future.
(Yes, even and especially during [Steam] sales, lol)
We're 7 days into BHM '25, so I'll start with 7 devs.

I probably should have stopped following Aries Spears a long time ago. But his style of humor reminded me of an old comedy site called Us vs Them that I used to visit in the 2000s.
Crass, inappropriate dark humor.
But what he had to say about that racist Obama meme? Yeah, blocked.

Lots of negativity in the quotes, but I was just thinking, "Some people enjoy standard missionary, and that's okay."
Like not everyone is into exploration and all that. They can get their nut in regular doggie/prone and keep it moving.
