You know well that I do. Lemme know if there's any way I can support the development process! :)

These EXACT questions and more plague my dev experience, especially after I stopped making fangames and folks began to care a LOT less. Another one to ask yourself, though: do you want your game to exist? If so, that's every reason to keep at it. I make what I want to play, and that keeps me going.

It's not unearned - though there are certainly lessons to be learned, you went through a lot from it as well. Your resolve to do good speaks volumes - you deserve nice things, I say.

That whole sequence over the Proto Man theme was art. Quite somber and introspective - much like the MM7 credits (the music, and the whole sequence really), which made *quite* the impression on me. Gotta love how a colorful game about bug-eyed hardhats can get you in "the feels" like that!

Psycutlery by Luke Tarlowe

eyesineverything.itch.io/psycutlery
'Psycutlery' by @luketarlowe.bsky.social is completely free. It has fifty levels, fifty alternative levels, and at least one alternative campaign if I'm not misremembering. It is absurdly long with a whole host of unique gimmicks. Also, it's free. Just get it.

The kittens certainly have a lot of FUN with each other. And I swear, if I had just a FRACTION of their energy!

This post, as of right now, has gotten my game a grand total of 0 downloads since yesterday - not too shabby! If we keep at this, maybe we can even make it up to 1 download! :D

Telegeddon (demo) by Luke Tarlowe A TV-trashing action RPG with battles made up of microgames!

Due to recent events I'd like to open this post for people to recommend games made by actual queer indie devs.

I'll start with one that's just a demo but still fantastic: Telegeddon by @luketarlowe.bsky.social, an RPG where battles are Microgames. Super neat!

Seriously, I would deeply appreciate all the support this can get. I spent over a decade on this passion project, and released it completely for free - it is really struggling for visibility, especially now as downloads begin to dwindle. I don't want to see it vanish into obscurity. Thanks.

Only 15 reviews left until #Psycutlery can reach "very positive" on Steam. Don't be like The Slackomancer here - if you like it, please review it! Thanks!

Now, don't take my words for it. I mean, they all sound like half-baked compliments, but please, if you or anybody else is interested, please check the game out!

If there are any streamers seeing this - or anyone who can get in touch with any streamers/influencers/etc. - Can we get #Psycutlery in the hands of anyone who would be willing to show it to a larger audience?
