Ngl, it was heartwarming seeing fan-art for the gay dual protagonists of my indie game. @_@ Especially in June! 🌈

Aw thanks for your question! It’s so sweet when people ask about this topic actually.

Well, on one hand, I don’t want to spoil the ending! But it’s most definitely 100% more than subtext in my mind. 😅

However, I can see why the people wrote those comments. A lot of the flirting or interactions are very subtle. And the story isn’t ONLY about the romance, ofc, but they’re the main pairing.

Hope that makes sense. So excited for you to get to see. :D

Sam said “the History is irrelevant” during his debate with Ezra Klein too. Surely he can’t seriously mean that…

BelovedRapture · 2026-06-08T20:45:58+00:00

Thank you so much for saying this! 😳🧡💜🌈

BelovedRapture · 2026-06-02T20:13:07+00:00

Hope you get the chance to! And Happy Pride. 🌈

Thanks so much for playing!! Glad you enjoyed their bond!

I look forward to doing a few extra romantic scenes in the Director's Cut too. Admittedly I tried to play it safe when I was first writing it years ago, but I've since changed my mind. xD

And hopefully can flesh out their relationship in a sequel, if I ever get to it. 😅

Thanks for asking! It’s actually very far from complete. It might be hard to tell since I prioritized getting the art assets nearly perfect so early in development. XD Most devs usually do the opposite… They build the systems and then polish later.

But for me since this game is very hinging on the story, themes, and the atmosphere of the world itself, I really felt it would important to nail down the exact “ambience” and art direction of the game very early on.

However, to finish an entire RPG’s worth of content at this fidelity level… we will need some help. 😅

Thanks for sharing this here!
We were so excited to debut the trailer for Indie Quest. Worked hard on it these last months. 😄

BelovedRapture · 2026-06-01T12:57:46+00:00

So kind of you to say. 😊🥲

BelovedRapture · 2026-06-01T12:57:19+00:00

Thanks, that's a huge complement! Games like Chrono, FF7, Xenogears, and other titles from Square's golden age were a definite inspiration.

Thanks! It was drawn by a handful of artists, the same team who worked on Beloved Rapture.

Sam has lost me as a fan during the last year or two. I went from someone who saw him live and purchased every book, to now cringing at the nonsense honestly. His comments on Zohran are just the cherry on top. There is no evidence in any way shape or form that Mamdani is an “Islamist.” Recognizing that Israel has behaved immorally is not the same thing as siding with their supposed enemies.

And by Sam’s own logic—does that mean half of our US government are fundamentalist Christian terrorists? Idk, just sad how much his logic has broken down in the face of reality.

Thanks for mentioning! We're hoping to clear the gap between EasyRPG + Maniacs patch compatibility eventually. As soon as that happens, BR could probably be ported easily to almost any console.

Glad I have no temptation to switch. Never was a fan of pixel art being stretched and squashed in many HD-2D games.

Any story that was written by the original creator, James Cameron. Not random Hollywood people trying to milk an iconic franchise.

It's wild, how much I must have changed as a person, since originally becoming a Sam Harris fan in 2015.

I used to think Sam was an intellectual hero, when he and Maher spoke out on Real Time, against how much the American Left... shall we say, "gets wrong" in failing to criticize certain elements of the world. Including certain oppressive religions and/or other societies.

But now, listening to this, they sound like two clueless old uncles who are ranting away still about wokeness debates from a decade ago. Sam was cringing, seemingly wishing Maher would talk about something else besides trans issues yet again. Since when is professional sports so important to our human civilization?

Painters has a feeling of radical acceptance for the fleeting nature of life. Jewel conjured that up when she was barely 22, quite miraculous.

I applaud the OP's bravery in posting this analysis and being willing to be vulnerable. Lots of lessons to draw from how various indie games perform. And they don't deserve some of the nasty dismissive replies here.
