hey
you should make that shamelessly queer game you've been wanting to make. you should put more trans and gay rep into the world. especially now.
don't let anyone silence you. trans and gay indie devs deserve to be seen just as much as anyone else. your art matters more than ever.

I keep going through Game Dev Starter Packs with only like 2 Black people. So I've gone through all the Game Dev Starter Packs finding the 2 Black People on them and made a Starter Pack with more than just 2 of us.

I've been doing animation and color tests for UpRooted's bat guardian! It's been tricky trying to figure out what I want color-wise 😂😂
