Did you know there’s an entire conference focused entirely on queer games? Neither did I! So I took the train to Montreal to check it out for myself… and IT WAS SO COOL! The Queerness and Games Conference (QGCon) is an annual 3-day conference for queer developers and queer gamers, featuring all types of games! They had board games, card games, TTRPGs… but of course, I went for the video games. Not only did I attend a bunch of the panels, but I met a lot of amazing queer video game devs and played tons of demos for recently released and upcoming games! Some of them we’ve even talked about on the podcast before…! Oh, and did I mention I even did some on-the-fly interviews at the conference, too? You can see (or hear) all about it in this very special episode of True Avatars!   00:00:00 - Intro + QGCon Primer 00:12:04 - Day 1 - Friday Sept 26 00:12:51 - Yurivania series 00:17:04 - Three Days to Chicago 00:20:15 - Redjackets 00:25:41 - Day 2 - Sat Sept 27 00:31:10 - Rocket Adrift 00:33:16 - A Night for Flesh and Roses (+Interview) 00:53:47 - Love in the Time of Spellphage (+Interview) 01:06:09 - Neov*gina Dilation Simulator 01:07:35 - Queen Boat (+Interview) 01:16:15 - Fundamental and Incontrovertible Reality (+Interview) 01:23:51 - Banned Together 01:34:05 - Physical Queer Games 01:36:27 - Overall Thoughts + Montreal Experience   CONTENT WARNING: Suicide mentioned during the Queen Boat segment.   The interviews were recorded on September 27 2025 and the main episode was recorded on September 28 2025.   Follow True Avatars: Official website: https://trueavatarspodcast.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TrueAvatars Bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/trueavatars.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/TrueAvatars Threads: https://www.threads.com/@trueavatars/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@true.avatars Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trueavatars/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569951551559   Guests: Elliot Rex White: https://necropocene.itch.io/ Kylie Szymesko: https://bsky.app/profile/kymira.ca Ahmed Khalifa: https://amidos2006.itch.io/ Chelsea Brtis: https://bakiara.itch.io/   Games: Yurivania series: https://mxashlynn.itch.io/yurivania-3 Three Days to Chicago: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2495380/Three_Days_to_Chicago/ Redjackets: https://annacwebs.itch.io/redjackets Psychroma: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1879950/Psychroma/ Dead Finger Dice: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3512300/Dead_Finger_Dice/ A Night for Flesh and Roses: https://necropocene.itch.io/a-night-for-flesh-and-roses Love in the Time of Spellphage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3825300/Love_in_the_Time_of_Spellphage/ Neov*gina Dilation Simulator: https://gamedevbrook.itch.io/dilation-simulation Queen Boat: https://amidos2006.itch.io/queen-boat Fundamental and Incontrovertible Reality (not available online): https://bakiara.itch.io/ Banned Together: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3551960/Banned_Together/ Slasher U: An 18+ Horror Movie Dating Sim: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2655620/Slasher_U_An_18_Horror_Movie_Dating_Sim_Act_1/ Lucah: Born of a Dream: https://store.steampowered.com/app/896460/Lucah_Born_of_a_Dream/   Sources: https://www.qgcon.org/ https://www.qgcon.org/2025/arcade https://annacwebster.com/
