The Queer Games Bundle won't be running this year
When asked if there is a queer games community I say no, because a real community has career pathways and multi-generational institutions that can support people.
Our scene doesn't have that critical mass.
We do have dedicated individuals who volunteer (past the point of pain) and make a difference. The organisers of the bundle are some of those legends. If they ever see this, I love you!
People behind the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle have apparently been trying to organize a new bundle too. My new plan is to offer to help them. That's the most recent development on the bundle organizing thing, I guess.

I guess we'd have two people now. Still lacking the real leadership and management skills, though.
I'd like somebody who's good at organizing tasks and people. Do that, delegate as much as possible and poke people to do their job. A cool manager person like that.
And some more people on top of that too. It would likely be too many submissions to go through with just a few people, no matter what the exact format of the bundle ends up being.
It looks like we've reached the end of the #QueerGamesBundle
I just want to say how grateful I am for all the work that all the organizers did for this. It was an enormous amount of mostly thankless labour that positively impacted hundreds of creators
Speaking for myself, it's very unlikely I would have made any of the games, tools, assets, or jams that I produced over the past five years if this bundle hadn't been there to help me get started!

So, does anyone want to run a queer games bundle of some kind this year? I'm sadly not a leader or marketing kind of a person, so I'm not fit to organize it myself, but I'd be happy to help. Workhorse stuff like vetting submissions, promotional art and materials, drafting pages and messages or such. Yes, I'm serious.
The second part of Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories was great and atmospheric. A bit like cosmic horror. I liked that. Let's see how the last part fares. Sci-fi with ghosts, somehow?

Let's play Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories from the Queer Games Bundle again. What are lesbians and ghosts up to in the second story?

Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories is a VN about lesbians, ghosts and low-key horror. It's part of the Queer Games Bundle. I have been told that the game isn't like super heavy stuff, but take care nevertheless, I guess.

Queer Games Bundle is a bundle of 600+ games/creations by 300+ queer creators. Grab it from Itch.io for a few bucks and support queer developers and artists in these trying times.

I'm streaming a couple of games from the bundle today. Hop in for butt jokes, queer magical academy and surreal yuri horror.
