I put these calls out every so often so here goes:

If you're working on an inclusive game (something with POC/LGBTQ/female characters/relevant themes) please reach out to me, I would love to hear about it!

I can't guarantee coverage and I'm generally very busy but I'm always down to hear about new, inclusive things :)

(pls boost!) #gamedev #gameing

@jasminehenry @jasminehenry my friend and I had an idea for a cute lgbtq+ Christmas tale, hosted by an nb israeli person who hasn’t really celebrated before but is keen to make sure their best friends get the best Christmas ever due to crappy family issues over the past few holidays. Still v much collaboratively writing tho!

Hi @jasminehenry , I'm doing character design and background art for an in-production JRPG called "Rise of the Eagle Princess" about corruption in a post-apocalyptic future Mongolia and the princess (and her party) that are out to fix it. There are multiple queer, trans*, and characters of color among the PCs. https://riseoftheeagleprincess.tumblr.com/

@naomiyaki oh this looks fab, thank you so much for sharing!

do you have a presskit with more info? :)

Show threadNaomi RubinNov 14, 2017
Thank you so much @jasminehenry ! Right now we just have the Tumblr and a postcard (that we can handout at cons) but once the production progresses a bit more, I can make sure someone from Ododon gets one to you.

@jasminehenry Do you cover mobile games? I'm a WOC and my game's about to come out on 11/15! It's called Tiny Bird Garden!
Show threadJasmine HenryNov 14, 2017

@daisyein I do! oh my goodness your game looks absolutely adorable.

I know it's short notice, but would you be interested in doing a quick interview to help with my coverage? (I can send you some qs via email)

@jasminehenry I am! My work in progress has 10 romanceable NPCs: 5 men, 5 women. I've also randomized descriptions (including skin color) making it every bit as likely to have an NPCOC (that's an abbreviation that I think I just made up) as not.
Show threadJasmine HenryNov 14, 2017

@mistletoe19 NPCOC is now my new favourite acronym, this is amazing.

can you share any more details?/have you shown it off yet?

Show threadMistletoe EthanielNov 14, 2017
@jasminehenry It's still very much a work in progress and it's got a long way to go. I don't even have a title yet! (working title: Sexy Untitled Viking Story)
Show threadJasmine HenryNov 15, 2017

@mistletoe19 oh wow that is pretty early! i'd love to hear more about its development / write about it though so please keep me in the loop!

(if you decide to do a mailing list or something for it, i'd sign up to that too)

@jaycie of course! what's the latest on the game? :)
Show threadJaycieNov 14, 2017
@jasminehenry Waiting on three contract writers. Going to update the demo to make it even more accessible to new players.
Show threadJasmine HenryNov 14, 2017
@jaycie i'd love to hear about those plans once things are finalized
Show threadJaycieNov 14, 2017
@jasminehenry Thanks! I'm definitely going to add some internal monologue that introduces each NPC at the start of their route (we skip the prologue when demoing at conventions). Will need to make it more evident that the cast is human. Need to add a mailing list form at the end of the demo, too.

@jasminehenry The dialogue/questing part of the game is still pretty undeveloped, so I've been a bit quiet up until now, but inclusiveness is a major goal for the characters Pan Galactic Railway. Definitely not ready for coverage, but maybe... watch this space? http://spacetrain.space

Pan Galactic Railway is a game about trains in space.
