Happy #TDoV! I'm Dana, a trans and nonbinary Game Dev.

As a queer in the imploding Games Industry, it's been hard to find stable Dev and Tech Art work. So I'm trying to give *myself* a job, by prototyping and funding my pet project

Long term, I'm working toward funding a co-op studio, to create some stability for myself, and other marginalized folks in my industry.

Before that, I need to finish a pitchable prototype. And my Patreon is helping me get there!

Please boost, and consider chipping in some money, so I can keep making a living doing what I love and am good at.

P.S. if you're curious about the project, and whether you might enjoy helping it exist:

The current gist is, you manage a little guild of variously talented critters, who find themselves pulled together in a tricky interdimensional sci-fi survival situation.

Mechanically, it pulls inspiration from crafting sims and exploration platformers, like Oxygen Not Included, Cataclysm, and Starbound.

It's hard to track down all the vibes and ideas that have contributed, but works like BLAME!, The Long Earth, and Dungeon Meshi come to mind.

P.P.S. I've assembled a quick Patreon update post here, in case you wanted something more to read.

Or if you wanted to shame me for my terrible lack of a blogging habit.
