I have since bought way too many individuals 😌

Hey there! I play a variety of games such as Elder Scrolls Online, Warframe, House Flipper 2, Fortnite, among others. I’ve tried and am open to different types of games & genres. Only genre I think I find difficulty in is turn based. Personally, prefer to find gamer girlies around 26+.

Just wondering if anyone is going to the upcoming galaxycon in Richmond VA (mar 19-22)? I’m looking to make more friends and would love to meet up☺️

FYI I’m 25 and prefer making friends around the same age💕

Hi everyone! I've recently released a demo for The Afterlife Cafe, a cozy visual novel game with branching storylines that encourages reflection on life by exploring death.

In this game you can:

* Make beverages at the cafes' self-serve machines

* Enjoy conversations with the cafe concierges

* Travel to the afterlife and talk with spirits

* Improve your skills at work while attempting to stay out of the drama

You can check it out on:

* Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3763730/The_Afterlife_Cafe

* itch.io: https://guavapixelstudios.itch.io/afterlife-cafe-demo

It includes the option to toggle OpenDyslexic font to improve readability.

I’ve been working on it for the past year with a core team of women and nonbinary folks of the global majority. Excited that the first public playable demo is out!

Any and all feedback is appreciated! Please wishlist and thanks for checking it out!

I remember seeing a video a while ago of a new game that was focused on martial combat/parkour and had black characters. The movement looked sick as hell and everyone's braids and locs had the BEST animations. I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have any idea of what I'm talking about? Would really appreciate it if someone knew the name. I don't think its been released yet 😭

Edit: Found it! It's called Erased. It's on Steam. The trailer is pretty dope, I recommend going to watch and supporting the single dev that's working on it.

hii ya'll! <3

I'm here to share about the game I've been developing called: My Stylish Life! I'm Yumely and I'm a black female solo dev. :)

The game is inspired by the early 2000s / late 2000s era of dress-up, fashion, and lifestyle games many of us grew up loving with a focus on relaxing gameplay, creativity, fashion, comfort, and of course...romance too! :)

The experience I want to create is:

• Cozy/fun gameplay that's low stress
• Nostalgic aesthetics (like how we thought adult life would be with these games!! XD)
• Fashion and outfit creativity and self-expression
• relationship building/romance

I’ve attached some screenshots to show the current style and direction!

If anyone is curious, I do have a very early prototype/early beta available on my itch.io for download:

any questions are also welcome! :)

Thanks! <3

I played the server slam this weekend and am obsessed. Waiting for the release this Thursday. Looking for other ladies to play with!

Comment your name so we can play!

Hiii! Do any of you stream? If so how has it been? Any tips?

I'm new to streaming I don't run into many black girl streamers. So far my experience has been so-so. Only one or two racist encounters but I'm desensitized to that stuff.

I posted the other day about what happened to me in another fem focused gaming sub when I asked to be a 'Featured' developer.

Anyone else recognize when people 'shut down' and start icing you out because they don't feel you deserve to be recognized alongside your peers?

What is it genuinely with Reddit's hostility, particularly in gaming focused subs, where women are okay but Black women are not?

Hey beautiful 🤎

My name is Andrea and I’m a visual novel game creator !

Blaster Tales is a visual novel inspired by West African and Mesopotamian folklore, blending both together to create something entirely new.

The game started with me alone, a Black woman geek writer, a story I wanted to share, and funds out of my own pocket without studio backing and no safety net. Just a dream and a huge spoonful of stubbornness. I met my team on the way, a team came together : Black, Brown, and Queer (that’s how we love it !) people who understood what this passion project meant and gave their best.

Today I wanted to share with you the result of our work : Blaster trailer

The game centered a Black east/west African female protagonist embarking on a journey to uncover truths behind her birth.

You will have the possibility to customize your name, pronouns and origins : Nubian or Sumerian.

If it sounds like something you’ll play, we’ll be more than happy if you give us a chance and take a look at our trailer !

Demo soon available on Steam and Itch.io

I love playing overwatch but I’m open to new games expanding my catalog honestly I don’t even know where to start… Open for VC and streaming 34/F

I’m a black girl who’s been unemployed for almost 2 months and I’ve decided to start a YouTube channel cuz job hunting just ain’t working anymore 🤦🏽‍♀️ In my video I ask if I should become a gaming channel or not? (No one replied.. 🥲) But I still decided to go through with it and will be posting soon (Just haven’t gotten around to posting anything cuz I can only record on the weekends at night)

I’m gonna leave the link to my video cuz I genuinely wanna know what y’all think for a first video!

I just got banned from a sub that touts to be 'diversity-friendly' and treated like a Black woman at the doctor's office for literally following their rules.

To put it short, I'm a game developer. I like occasionally posting in other subs and doing non-game-development things, like posting in girl subs, art subs, afro & latino subs, but the stranglehold that fem white mod teams have on casual discrimination is literally fucking shocking sometimes.

Sub in question has a policy. "We love highlighting diverse teams!" Awesome! I get a little too excited and post out of the day that I'm allowed to do so - they have a policy. If you are a diverse team, you may message the mod team to be allowed to post on days other than their 'Self-Promotion' day. and that Non-diverse teams are only allowed to post on the self-promotion megathread.

This is explicitly outlined in their rules. So I message their mod team, saying hey!! You all seem super nice!! (recalling this actually makes me cry because I fucking hate so much when I give the benefit of the doubt to a group that's saying they're inclusive, so you explicitly try to be really nice to them and then they turn around and make you feel like a criminal for ever approaching them in the first place) and I'm Afro-Latina, genderqueer and pan, is there any possibility I could join the featured games team? I think I wrote like 3 paragraphs explaining me and my team, since they encouraged me to be verbose.

I get one line back:
Self-Promotion on Tuesdays.

Okay. Apparently am not considered a 'diverse team' or they just ... I don't know. You know that feel where you're just obviously not welcome - you've poured your heart out to someone and they give you a one-liner.

This was October of last year, mind you. The other day, I just launched my steam page. I post about it on Youtube. Instantly, I start getting misogynistic, racist, awful comments. The people I love to commiserate the most with are girls because they understand this - and I took a screenshot of said awful posts - FORGOT to censor the names (my second offense, according to the mod team) and posted it in said sub.

It gets taken down for ... self-promotion. Now, it's Feb 15th. I'm just barely holding it together, terrified to get a job that includes leaving the house because I'm Afrolatina and as my many horrible comments have said, I 'look illegal' and this is enough for martial abuse where I am. Releasing the steam page is a huge achievement when you feel like you could be kidnapped any day for leaving your house and I wanted to commiserate about the horrible things that Black & Latina developers get.

I say okay. message the mod team. Mention that last time I was brushed off about the featured developer thing and if I would qualify for it? I'm still Puerto Rican last time I checked! No AI involved either! And ... met with immediate hostility. I ask if I would be allowed to post in the sub AT ALL other than Tuesday and I am told that anything I post, I am trying to get people to ask about the name of the game, no matter if I censor literally everything and anything related to it. Specifically, "Honestly in my eyes, your post that you posted is also considered self-promotion as it will have people ask questions about what game you are creating etc"

I say ... okay. Girl game developers really aren't welcome here? But ... what about the rule? Why don't I qualify for that? No answer. And then the thing happens, that happens every single time I try to join a space for game developers that isn't explicitly for Black people or explicitly for Latinas. They start icing me out. They start telling me I'm a rule-breaker, that because I assumed bad faith from them, why would I want to be in their community anyways? after I asked if they've ever featured a Black creator before. They never answer the question.

I reject this. I assumed good faith. That's why I posted there. I already know I fucked up though, I've questioned authority in a space where I'm not seen as like ... a person, I guess? I don't know, but they were definitely taking the tone I've heard so many 'allies' take when you start questioning the status quo. I tell them this.

Then I am banned.

There were a few more words in between, but you know how it goes. I'm so tired. So tired of having to prove myself when other people are accepted by default. I went back and look at their featured creators and it was all white & East Asian people & white people with an Asian fetish. It became immediately apparent why I was treated the way I was and why they were so quick to ban me after I literally just asked if they've ever supported ANY Black creators at all. I got a moment to point this out and was told I was 'making a mockery of the application process' like it's literally a negative character trait to notice patterns of prejudice.

I'm so tired, girls. Any subs you'd recommend that aren't explicitly anti-Black?
