Artist's Statement:
I wanted to contribute something to the LGBT community and try to help fight the issue of inequality in same-sex couples. Since my strength comes in making video games, I choose to speak out through this medium. Creating a hero out of my own image was fun and inspiring, but then when it came time to choose enemies in the game, I ran into conflicting interests. While I'm angry at particular religious groups that are fighting against my rights, I didn't want to name particular people or groups as the ultimate bad-guy. To me, it's the idea of inequality that I'm against. So I chose to mask that idea inside of monsters-shaped enemies inside the game. I hope this game stands strong in representing my values, although there's lots of additions I'd like to make in the future.
