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.
@ruby Just a thought - the "queer games bundle" runs every June and gets a lot of media attention; might it benefit yours to run a bit further out from that one?
@midnightspire September was my second choice, so I'll run a poll.
