So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.

If trans people in video games is news to you, then as Jamie Fenton's most famous video game puts it, "Prepare yourself for annihilation, space cadet!" :arcade_stick::flag_transgender:​​

Yet more proof that we have always been here, and that we have touched your lives in more positive ways than bigots want you to know.

So much of my list is Weird Ports like Burger Becky's 3DO port of DOOM and the incredible amount of Mac ports done between her and Glenda Adams so it's so hilariously fitting that apparently THE first ever game ever developed by a trans person was A GODDAMN PORT OF SPACE WAR FROM ONE UNIVERSITY'S COMPUTER TO ANOTHER! Are you actually kidding me?!

"Gone Like A Memory" 2026, Action Suspense Film

Xenia the fox and her rag-tag crew of cyberdeck-toting, open-source champions may not be the most friendly crew, but in this feature length film you'll cheer for their success as the plot the heist of the decade:

Infiltrating AI data centers to strip the servers for parts and leave the infrastructure destroyed, then distributing the hardware to people in need.

Rated four and a half stars by furries and independent PC hobbyist (And five stars by those who are both).

The feature of morging bugfixes from rel continvoucly into develop as Tim moves backward has been removed, but the Wayback Machine captured the Microslop: web.archive.org/web/2026021616

This is truly glorious #AISlop from #Microslop in their "Introduction to Github" course.

I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly"

Today I saved multiple people from throwing away beloved and expensive electronics.

Repair should always be an option.
