2025 Gayming Awards Nominations (Patreon)

Hey all,

So last September, many of you saw that Straight!? was included in the 2024 Queer Games Festival Showcase. While it didn't win any of the final rewards, it was still validating as a first-time creator to make the final cut of nominations among a sea of other projects. When I started this thing, I never thought I'd be looking at something like an award or public recognition.

Today, I wanted to reach out and let you know that the 2025 Gayming Awards is now accepting nominations for their fifth annual celebration of LGBTQ+ games and creators. While the Queer Games Festival awards were dependent on their own judges, the Gayming Awards is dependent on public voting-- meaning you nominate and you vote.

(Looks like they're doing nominations now so I'm assuming the actual voting comes later)

There's several awards categories (including two new categories this year), each of which requires a separate nomination that appears to use a gmail account for submission.

Many of you have approached me over the years asking how you can help and this is one of those opportunities where I could use some backup.

If you feel this project is worthy of a nomination for any of the 2025 Gayming Awards categories, you can go to this link and nominate the project for one or more categories you feel are appropriate.

I'm not sure what questions they ask but if they ask for a game download link, I'd recommend using my Itchio page since it's the easiest to navigate for a quick download and please specify the Revamp because that is the definitive edition.

Nominations close on March 10!!

If you don't use gmail or are worried about privacy, that's completely understandable so don't worry about it :). Just know that i love all of you for being part of this thing and for standing behind it in each of your own special ways. Whether you nominate this project-- or even someone else's project-- I'm grateful for even a second of consideration.

Thanks all. Stay safe out there folks <3
