Neon Death Drop Kickstarter promises a queer revolution in gaming
Diamond Dust Games has launched its Kickstarter campaign for new game Neon Death Drop which challenges the norms of gaming while celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ community.
In Neon Death Drop, players step into the stilettos of Seraph, a gay go-go dancer armed with earth-bending choreography to combat hordes of malfunctioning robots in the futuristic city of Bavelle. Seraph’s kinetic superpowers allow players to manipulate the environment, flinging enemies into oblivion and sashaying across the battlefield to outmanoeuvre adversaries.
“This game is a love letter to the queer community,” says Mark Shteller, founder of Diamond Dust Games. “We wanted to create a game where queer voices are front and center, where players can see themselves reflected in the characters and the world they inhabit.”
The Kickstarter campaign has aims to keep Neon Death Drop true to its authentic queer vision, foster a vibrant community, and support queer artists in the gaming industry. Backers will have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of a game that not only entertains but also inspires.
The game will feature dynamic gameplay where players can utilize Seraph’s dance moves to push, pull, and fling enemies, while manipulating the environment to gain the upper hand.
There is also a style points system where players can chain together dazzling combos to rack up Style Points and wow the audience with Seraph’s fierce performances.
Experience a game created by and for the LGBTQ+ community and all its allies, with fully voiced characters and narratives that resonate with diverse experiences.
“Our goal is to create the queerest action game ever made,” adds Mark Shteller. “With the support of our backers, we can make that dream a reality.”
