That's why we're here to teach you how to amp the volume up to 11 and harness the power of making players fall in love with your characters... this time, through a queer eye!Join Radiant G!, Monica Fan, GabeJamesGames and Sandra "Maxi" Molina as they discuss the history of fanservice, and how we can move forward in a more positive direction by designing attractive characters of and for all genders.
