It was so freaking cool to play the games at #QGCon this year. It was the first showcase I've attended since lockdown and was such a breath of fresh air to be in the same room as SO MANY brilliant queer people, all making the sickest games you've ever seen.

Today's the day #QGCon www.qgcon.org

Update on remote presentations (Feb 7, 2025)

We've received many questions about what QGCon will do to accommodate people who cannot come to Canada in the current geopolitical context. While QGCon has always been livestreamed, we are considering what more we can do to accommodate remote presentations and remote arcade presenters.

As the situation continues to evolve, we are watching closely and gathering information about the community’s needs concerning remote conference access. We are investigating workable, practical alternatives and look forward to sharing them with you closer to the conference.

In the meantime, we strongly encourage you to apply with your game, project, talk, workshop, or other incredible queer thing, even if you don’t know whether you can make it in person. Please don’t self-select out of QGCon – in the event that coming to Canada is unfeasible, we will work with you to ensure you can meaningfully participate.

Despite everything, we’re looking forward to being in community with you!

🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 QGCon 2025 🎲🎮

September 26-28, 2025, in Montréal, Québec!

The Queerness & Games Conference is returning in-person with hybrid elements (streamed talks, online community events, and more).

We're hosting panels, workshops, and games that explore queer issues, themes, and sensibilities.

If you are a gamemaker, researcher, activist, or player at the intersection of queerness and games, we want you there!

QGCon is a COVID-cautious event.

The conference will require attendees to wear respirator masks (with N-95, KN-95, their equivalent or better) and will be held in a place with a modern MERV 8 (pre-filtration) and MERV 13 (filtration) air purification system.

We'll be circulating our Call For Proposals soon!
Join our mailing list and our Discord server to be the first to hear about it!

A brand new #qgcon website is under construction! We also signed a contract with a venue yesterday — it's starting to feel real!

Official announcement of the next event is still a bit away

Hey, so I gave a talk at Queerness and Games Conf this weekend on making your own programming language, and it's up on the #QGCon Twitch page!

The talk went over the power dynamics of making your own language, why small-scale languages can be useful in game dev, and there's a demo of making a simple language interpreter (embedded in a JavaScript game).

You can see the slides and the code from the demo here: https://mcclure.github.io/qgcon-2018/

‪my #qgcon talk is coming up at 4pm Eastern! tune in to the stream (https://twitch.tv/qgcon2) to learn how carefully applied procgen can help save games from solipsism & why it's actually a good thing when the animals in Animal Crossing are rude to you https://qgcon.com/qgcon-2018/talks/gardening-as-a-mode-of-play/‬

#QGCon was good! Would speak/present my game there again.

@inurashii Good! Tired from #QGCon but it was a great con.
