And another dropped today.
I thought RPG releases were slowing down in the last few weeks of this year, but I'd apparently forgotten one. The Use Of Life just fully launched after nearly four years in early access.

If you're THAT desperate for furry game, remember that there's tons of indie furry devs out there who are making them with love and passion.

Okay, normally when I do these kinda posts, I'll step away for an hour and come back to see what's neat in the replies to signal boost, but WOAH THAT'S A LOT OF REPLIES! Help me out a little, go browse all these replies, share what piques your interest and signal boost some cool folks!
Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.

If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜
