Dee was invited to speak on a Digipride panel about HEG! They were also joined by other queer game developers from studios like Lunaris Games, Veritable Joy, Soft Not Weak, and more. You can watch the full panel VOD on Gayming Magazines official YouTube channel.

GAME DEVS OF COLOR EXPO

Dee is hosting a panel at Game Devs of Color Expo happening Sept 15-18! Theyll be talking with other amazing Black developers like Dani Lalonders (ValiDate: Struggling Singles in Your Area), Geneva Harward (Skate & Date) and owl (Belle Automata) about how and why they make games.

• As a bonus, I (Vivi) will be joining Dee to talk further about HEG with the host of GDoC, Sharpie!
• Am I excited? Hell yeah!
• But am I also nervous? Hell Yeah.

GAYMING LIVE

We're showcasing the new HEG demo during the Gayming Live Steam Event, and Dee will also be on a panel with other game devs!

• Yes, Dees one busy person, but theyre doing a great job and we support them. Were proud of them.

New Quest Objective!

We just launched a revamped version of our demo! We've added a brand new UI to the game, and cleaned up some of the Strife messages. If you havent met all of your teammates yet, nows the perfect time to do so! As always, thank you for showing so much love and support for our little fan-game-turned-full-fictional-game. Please look forward to the full game launching Spring 2023! Follow our official Twitter (@split_fate) for game updates, memes, and more! Cheers, Vivi, Communications Manager Split Fate Studios
