The first half of this episode is just me as I speedrun through the news. Queer headlines include a major update on Hades II, a release year for Deltarune’s next chapter, Misc. A Tiny Tale has some upgraded Switch 2 visuals, and information on a canceled Dungeons & Dragons game. In other news, Xbox has started to ramp up their next-gen plans while Nintendo gives us a better look at Donkey Kong Bananza!
I also found 3 more queer games in the Green Games Showcase.
In the second half, I have an exciting interview for you! Nikki Jay is here to talk about her brand new, hilarious, queer plot-former Quantum Witch!
Quantum Witch is a game all about unpacking and processing Nikki’s life experiences, including escaping a cult…? She talks in-depth on her thoughts, inspirations, life stories, all through an unfiltered lesbian lens.
CONTENT WARNING: During the interview, we briefly discuss the topic of suicide. It lasts about 25 seconds. If you'd like to skip this discussion, Nikki flags it just before speaking about it.
