We've released a game!!

You have 1 Cat Tree ... But you have 500 Cats!

It's a solo TTRPG about drawing a cat tree for your collection of cats (ranging from 3 to 500), with fairly simple rules for going about it.

Free or Pay-what-you-want!

We hope you'll all enjoy this cozy solo game and we'd would just love to see your cat trees!

The annual Queer Games Bundle is suuuper close to their next goals!

https://itch.io/b/3062/queer-games-bundle-2025-with-10-option

and the sliding scale! https://itch.io/b/3063/queer-games-bundle-2025-pay-what-you-can-edition

This bundle really does help #indieDev queers pay bills, for example yer 2 curators here ( @atjscreams and @aldercone) bugcat_lick

While I don't agree with their current "tier" system at all, it's not a bad way to get a crapton of queer-made things and support a whole bunch of us at once!!

We're making progress! The German Games Industry Association has finally issued a statement, taking a stance for artistic freedom:

https://www.gamesmarket.global/en/business/german-games-association-game-md-felix-falk-expression-and-diversity-must-not-be-targeted-f75c49d9b40477591eb1c8e9d84c4872

"[It] is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions imposed by payment service providers or gaming platforms must not exceed the legal limits. [...] creative forms of expression or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently being observed on Steam or itch.io."

The way payment processors are able to control which art can be monetized and which can not is not only questionable but I think that we need regulation for that - not only in terms of money laundering but that they need to process payments for non illegal goods and services and can not determine by themselves what they are willing to process and what not.

Latest victims: itch.io and Steam
