Hello I am the creator of "Amaya's Lost Souls" and "The Willow Man". I just noticed my games disappeared from the bundle they are no longer listed on here. I filled out the google form and submitted my games to the game jam here on itch. Wondering what happened I felt especially "Amaya's Lost Souls" fit in here quite well. Did I do something wrong? I support and identify with lgbtq+ I just prefer to keep it private for personal reasons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well I guess after 2 emails and no replies I am not getting into the bundle which is fine I guess. But question was this bundle curated from the start or something? Was there a theme my games/art had to match to get into the bundle? I looked over the rules and there was no mention of a specific theme my games had to be. It seems the only requirements were to be a queer creator which I am by the way.
Just asking since on the Queer Games Bundle page it has this quote:
The Queer Games Bundle is pro-community and anti-competition, and strives to work outside the restrictive bounds of the games industry.
Again sorry if this sounds like I am putting blame on anybody. I am not just wondering for maybe next year I can make something that better matches the theme expected for the bundle.
Hi! I'm not associated with the organizers of QGB but I imagine they are extremely busy getting things ready for the bundle so I'm just jumping in to say I wouldn't take this personally and you should be patient. No, identifying as queer is not the only requirement for this bundle lol. There were questions in the google form regarding legal age and, quite critically, whether you have the legal rights to sell and distribute the content from your games (you mentioned on "The Willow Man" that the game was, quote, "mostly created by one person" but there is no additional info or detailed credits.... That might've raised a flag for the team, just my two cents - but what do I know??) I honestly don't know the reasons and I imagine this is super upsetting for you but please be patient. All this being said, there's always (hopefully!) next year!!! Your games look neat btw and I'm curious to try em out when I have the time :)
Thanks for your reply I will admit my emotions got the better of me. I was really looking forward to participate in this bundle. Its like you said there is always next year. Hopefully by them I will make some more awesome video games. Just to touch on the "mostly made by one person" I write that since I do everything, but music which I source legally. Maybe that could be it who knows knows. Anyway I do appreciate that you think my games look neat. I also like your creations I really need to level up to 3d games soon. Anyway I hope you and everyone else who likes to create can keep on creating.
(^_^)
