🤝 Inclusive design Inclusive design is separate from a game’s queer labels. It marks games whose design is deliberately inclusive even when not queer-themed: romance or marriage mechanics with no gender constraint, character creation without a forced gender binary, gender-neutral rules language, or table safety tools. Each marker shows where we found it.

  • Character creation free of a gender binaryNSFW

Description

Designed in collaboration with O.S. and James, as part of the Clitical Hits Game Jam 2022. Original idea developed with Gerrit Reininghaus. A revised, expanded version will be available at some point in the future. This is a sex-education game using a speed-dating model. Human characters with specific health needs pair with birth control methods who are looking for new friends. Each pair talks for a few minutes, and then they rotate. The game ends with some debrief questions, for emotional and educational purposes. BCF is licensed under CC Attribution 4.0 International. Image by rhsupplies on Unsplash.
