Local video game showcase Fantastic Arcade supports indie queer games. Austin’s games industry scene has been on the rise since the 2010s, and included in that growth are local LGBTQ game developers whose work deserves eyes and controllers connecting to it. Digital Arts Coordinator Jay Roff-Garcia says that they’d like to see the local scene support queer game developers through increased integration in physical spaces around town. “An arcade cab can live anywhere!” they explain. “I would love to see them all over town and make playing/finding queer games that much more accessible.” Coby West, a Games Y’all board member (and, admittedly, a friend of this writer) adds that they’d like to specifically see these integrations happening at queer spaces. “This would both create a space for more queer art to be made,” they say, “and introduce more folks into the weird space that is indie games.”
