This June, Interact-IF is bringing back the Pride Month spotlight event—celebrating the incredible LGBTQ+ creators, stories, and communities that make games richer, more diverse, and more meaningful. We're putting together an updated community masterlist of games that are:

✨ Created by LGBTQ+ authors and designers OR

✨ Contain meaningful representation of LGBTQ+ characters, storylines and experiences (exploring themes of gender, sexuality, community, self-discovery, and belonging).

📋 Submission Form: HERE

Creators are welcome to submit:

Released games

Demos/works in progress

A short write-up of how the game contains LGBTQ+ representation or explores relevant themes

After the success of last year's event, we hope this year's masterlist will be even bigger and better! The aim is to help spotlight LGBTQ+ creators and showcase the breadth of LGBTQ+ experiences being explored through games.

We might also reach out to 2-3 authors to do a short written interview as well as post never-before-published interviews from last year's event.

So if you're a creator who's keen on being interviewed for this year's pride month spotlight, do check the box in the google form. Share this post and help us spread the word.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Finally, do check out some of last year's interviews!

It's been quite a while since I last released a public demo update for The Eternal Library. I wanted to wait until I had enough new material to make it worth your while, and I'm happy to report it's finally time!

This update gives you access to the story up through chapter six, which includes approximately 38,000 words of new material. Current word counts are as follows:

Public Demo: 218k Patreon Demo: 245k

Play The Eternal Library Public Demo on CoGDemos!

If you want access to the first half of chapter seven, which is approximately 27,000 words more, you can become a Patreon member and get instant access. Chapter seven is juicy and wonderful, and it might be a while before it's available to the public demo.

That said, this free public update carries a lot of weight on its own and I'm thrilled for you to read it!

I've been writing this WIP a bit slower than my previous projects. It's so nice to go at my own pace, chipping away at it without stressing over deadlines. My work-life balance is wonderful and it makes me enjoy the story that much more. I'm not rushing through nor sacrificing time I should be spending with family. Though this means it takes longer to complete each chapter, it's well worth it to avoid burnout and maintain my love of this story!

New material includes:

Prince Kedrick's return, with Dorian and his team (which might include the MC).

Time with Gemma, Marienna, Collin, Dorian, or Sevitas, depending on the RO.

The return of Prince La'rast.

A very happy Princess Khanna.

Diplomatic strategy.

A chance to help Prince Collin win over the court.

A fiasco at a feast.

Court intrigue.

And much more!

As always, please let me know if you find typos, bugs, or continuity errors. I do an editing pass but don't have time to play through the game every time I update, so I absolutely appreciate knowing if I've missed something or messed up. You can report errors here or on the CoG forum.

Play The Eternal Library Public Demo for FREE!

I hope you enjoy the demo update! ☺️

If you know anyone who might enjoy it, please share this with them! 👑

Thanks so much for following along as I write The Eternal Library! 🙌
