FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

– Diamond Dust Games announces the launch of its Kickstarter campaign for "Neon Death Drop," a ground-breaking action game that challenges the norms of gaming while celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of the LGBTQ+ community.

 

In "Neon Death Drop," players step into the stilettos of Seraph, a gay go-go dancer armed with earth-bending choreography to combat hordes of malfunctioning robots in the futuristic city of Bavelle. Seraph's kinetic superpowers allow players to manipulate the environment, flinging enemies into oblivion and sashay across the battlefield to outmaneuver adversaries.

 

"This game is a love letter to the queer community," says Mark Shteller, founder of Diamond Dust Games. "We wanted to create a game where queer voices are front and center, where players can see themselves reflected in the characters and the world they inhabit."
 

The Kickstarter campaign aims to raise funds to keep "Neon Death Drop" true to its authentic queer vision, foster a vibrant community, and support queer artists in the gaming industry. Backers will have the opportunity to contribute to the creation of a game that not only entertains but also inspires.

 

Key features of "Neon Death Drop" include:
 

  • Dynamic Gameplay: Utilize Seraph's dance moves to push, pull, and fling enemies, while manipulating the environment to gain the upper hand.

  • Style Points System: Chain together dazzling combos to rack up Style Points and wow the audience with Seraph's fierce performances.

  • Fully Voiced Storyline: Dive into the neon-lit city of Bavelle and uncover its secrets as Seraph teams up with allies to save the day.

  • Authentic Representation: Experience a game created by and for the LGBTQ+ community and all its allies, with characters and narratives that resonate with diverse experiences.

 

"Our goal is to create the queerest action game ever made," adds Mark Shteller. "With the support of our backers, we can make that dream a reality."
 

The Kickstarter campaign for "Neon Death Drop" launches in June 2024, and backers can visit kickstarter.com/projects/diamonddustgames/neon-death-drop  to pledge their support.
