If you hang out in spaces with game devs, especially those making explicitly queer games, you’ve probably at least heard of Butterfly Soup. This 2017 coming-of-age visual novel by Brianna Lei was formative for dozens of game developers, and is overall just an exceptional piece of work about a group of four queer Asian-American teenagers as they grow up, fall in love, and play baseball. I also loved Butterfly Soup, but it’s been years since I played it, so I was thrilled to get an email recently announcing that Lei is making another new game that looks to be even more up my street.
