Hey! I'm looking to start an itch.io game bundle for queer game developers. Your game doesn't have to be about being trans or queer or even feature queer characters. I want to start the bundle for the main purpose of raising money for queer people that need it.
Your game can be really weird! Your game can be unfinished! It can be long or short! I want to not only raise money for developers like us, but I want to get eyes on our little or big projects. I'm aiming to have the bundle run for two weeks in May starting on the 17th!
There will be no tiers and money will be distributed equally amongst the developers. I want to help support developers like myself that are often overlooked by people. Not all of us have the time or money to make a long game or even a complete game, but I want to get us more money to hopefully feel securer in life each year and maybe give us more resources for our passion projects, or more importantly, things like food!
If you're interested feel free to reply here and I'll DM you!
edit: I just realized I can edit this to notify everyone at once. If you're interested, please check out this poll! I'd like to have everyone organized for communications!

Don’t think it’s necessary here, but cannot stress enough that I don’t want submissions made with “AI” or work that is clearly hateful i.e. racist. I will turn submissions like this away.
If you're interested, I'd like a way to keep everyone organized and in communication with me for submitting your links and what not
what would you prefer
I also want to say if you hate the idea of both of those, please let me know a preferred contact method! I'll just make a spreadsheet of everyone if it comes down to it.
I thought May 17th would be neat since it's the international day against homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, but there is concern of it running too close to the "queer games bundle." I'm not really bothered by that personally since most people get paid biweekly, but I'm willing to explore "sometime in september" as an option.
@ruby i think it'd probably work out better to run ahead of instead of after the other similar bundle as long as you're confident in being able to organise the financial side of things before the may date.
@ruby also wouldn't be opposed to matrix but discord is unfortunately the standard and likely a little easier for people to access. This has me wanting to try matrix out at some point though.
@BreoganHackett Yeah it should be fine because itch actually has the feature of automatically splitting payments through everyone’s preferred methods, so it shouldn’t be an issue. Also yeah discord would probably make more sense. Matrix is neat but not well adopted
@ruby yeah if you're not doing tiered payments I guess itch has it covered.
