Hey folks! Tanya here.
Happy Pride! Today's the last day of official Pride month, and we're closing it out with a little letter to hopefully help inspire more open-mindedness for the rest of the year. We're taking a break from the "love letter" format just to have a sincere, human moment, dev to player.
From the beginning of making Boyfriend Dungeon, one of my design goals was to let the player date "whoever", and be themselves, because I felt like that was something missing in the dating-RPGs I was playing. I felt overly restricted, and it was freeing to remove those restrictions (even if it added some headaches, as a designer and writer). So you can be straight, if you want... or gay, or bi, or pan. And doing that well might not have been possible, if our team wasn't diversely queer.
Honestly, given the current internet climate, we're not completely comfortable discussing all of the kinds of queerness experienced at Kitfox. Peoples' sexuality and gender identity is their personal business, and we're just a corporation making video games. BUT a few folks did come forward to share their stories, so we're glad we could help that happen.
