GaymerX teams up with FlameCon to support queer game development in New York

1 May 2015

The organisers of San Francisco’s queer gaming convention, GaymerX, have teamed up GeeksOut, the group behind New York’s first queer comic con, FlameCon, to support queer game development.

The result will give LGBTQ game developers — and assumedly, allies — the chance to show off their wares for the low, low cost of free.

GaymerX is “looking to partner with some folks” to create a scholarship program to support queer game development. The result will potentially provide a free table at FlameCon for said developers.

Those interested in free table space can head here.

FlameCon takes place on 13 June in The Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn, New York.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
