ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on queer sexual content via the perspective of four queer contributors: Kris Wise (narrative designer and head of Lunaris Games), Antonin Fusco (lead for the upcoming Catboy Café), Monica Fan (game designer, Schell Games fellow, and Treasurer of the IGDA Romance and Sexuality SIG), and Aubrey Jane Scott (game engineer, character creator designer, and creator of Goddess Grotto). Given that heteronormative sex and sexual approaches are so common in mainstream space, this chapter aims to give the floor to queer voices to discuss what games showcase good queer-friendly sex, what details they’d like to see more of, and what recommendations they would make to game developers who don’t share their particular orientation. The chapter questions focus on queer sexual content and encouraging queer developers to analyze and create it/encouraging non-queer developers to listen to and hire queer voices.
