So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.
(Edit: That's over 300 (!) games now. Thank you SO much people who've pointed me at stuff I've missed. I'll be working on trying to play all of these and write up stuff about the ones I haven't really said anything about yet.)
@Decimal They are, and really heartwrenching too ;_;
Elden Ring: NightReign, sour grapes
@Decimal wanna hang out and cry over Fuga together instead?
@mos_8502 Kind of makes me think of the PC Engine. I wonder if it'd be possible to hook up some kind of ROM card interface to the SPI instead of a cartridge slot
@lyncia moth game o:
Currently broke which is sad because I want Fuga 3 too
@mos_8502 don't underestimate the ability for coders to find issues for you while it's still in the prototype phase
@codl I can't wait for petal crash 2 to kick my ass in new and exciting ways
