What Makes a Game Queer With Dr. Xavier Ho

In this episode of Bargain Bin Gaymers, Davey is joined by Jake and Warren from Melbourne Gaymers for a deep dive into queer indie games with the brilliant Dr. Xavier Ho. As an award-winning design researcher, Lecturer in Interaction Design at Monash Art, Design and Architecture (MADA), and Visiting Fellow at the Hunt-Simes Institute in Sexuality Studies, Xavier has been shaping the conversation around queer creativity in games.

Together, they discuss Pride at Play, what makes a game inherently queer, and how to uplift and support LGBTQ+ creators in the gaming space. Whether you're an aspiring queer creative or just a lover of diverse storytelling in games, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!
