I give you fifteen years of my adventure game demos, cynical cartoons, pro-queer rap tracks, retro junk reviews, tormented stories, YouTube experiments, melodies, designs and DEEP thoughts on how entertainment works. So much is missing from entertainment. I want to bring people what is missing!
I am transgender and pansexual, so if you enjoy exploring the work of creators who self-identify outside of cisgender and hetero culture, you've come to the right place!
Apart from some Nintendo/Enterbrain things, I made EVERYTHING you'll see on this blog, on barren income, solo, with all the tech I could afford.
As proud as I am of my work and my skills, I tend not to promote myself. I struggle to interact with others due to long-term internal issues stemming from past homophobic and transphobic abuse. Thus, I work alone and remain undiscovered in my 30's. But I don't want to hide my work, or hide what I live with as a queer and trans person any longer, so here is this blog, where I'll present my true, complete self, uncensored and uncompromised.
If I quit entertainment, this work is what I'll leave behind, free to explore, no strings attached.
I don't ever want to quit. I've worked HARD at entertainment, I love it and I want it to work for me, but I've been broke, starving and jobless for too long. I'm confident in my skills, but when you keep getting ditched by employers, panned by complaints, sunk by algorithms and crushed by your own brain, it's hard to stop your confidence from vaulting out the window.
As of now, I only have two choices left: accept that I'm a closeted recluse who will never entertain for a living... or...
TAKE EVERYTHING I'VE EVER MADE AND MAKE SOME DAMN CASH!
To do that, I'll need YOUR help. If you like what I make and don't want me to quit, please donate what you can to patreon.com/LenaRay - That's...
...and tell EVERY open-minded person you know about this blog. Your direct support will help me A LOT.
POSITIVE REACTIONS ONLY FROM THIS POINT FORWARD PLEASE. IT'S SCARY AND DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SHARE MY LIFE'S WORK IN SUCH MAJOR DETAIL. I WELCOME OBJECTIVE CRITICISM*, JUST DON'T BE A JERK FOR NO REASON.
