Awesome deal, Rabbit. Good for you. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)
I didn't know you were an indie game developer, that's super special awesome!
Very cool Rabbit, Awesome article
Can't wait to see the final build Bloom. Been following the game on facebook with the vblogs you posted.

Bless you for being visible & informative.

YAY!! Well done Rabbit.
Well done Girl, and love your picture there too.
Thanks :) I thought they wrote it pretty well too and them shedding a little extra light on the entire subject was really great.
And the kickstarter saw a little bump in donations today, so that was a nice bonus too :D
Overall, a win/win!
That's super awesome. I didn't get to read the whole article yet, but it looks really positive so far.
I'll have to join in the kickstarter too :D
awesome!
ah femshep... those were the days :D
Wow. This is great. You must be all smiles.

Had to log in when I read this =) I <3 PA. Absolutely fantastic work.
I finally took the time to read through all the comments below the article. I don't know how many of you did the same, but they reminded me of how wonderful some people are (or want to be) even when they know they can never fully understand why someone is transsexual. However, some comments also showed how closed minded, or even hateful other gamers insist on being. My sons and their friends have long told me that there are quite a few truly mean and evil gamers. And I'll admit I know nothing about gaming, but I'm glad there's still a lot of anonymity on the internet, especially when it comes down to dealing with bigots.
All-in-all, my comment from last night stands. "Wow. This is great."
And Rabbit, I'll try and send you a PM later.
Kathy
Excellent stuff! :)

Yea :) Saw a little boost in the campaign pledges! So that was definitelyyyy great. I know a lot of industry people read penny arcade also, so hopefully some take notice of the project ~fingers crossed~ haha
I thought the comments were pretty good too :) There is one guy ranting about how "omg trans people are crazy"... but, everyone else seems pretty intelligent.
Congratulations on your success! Hugs, Devlyn
Rabbit, you look just like FemShep! SO JELLY!!!
Also, you did a wonderful job representing the best of the gaming and trans communities! As a gamer who has played as female characters for as long as I can remember, I applaud you.
Haha I wish I did horizon! :P
Yea, when she asked about the entire connection between trans people and gaming, I thought about it and it seemed like it really was a big first outlet (at least for me, and a lot of trans people I know). Yay games! They can be so much more than just mindless fun :)
Now I just gotta figure out a way to make mine haha.
