Interview with Director of Fantastic Boyfriends: Legends of Midearth

3 / 22 / 183 / 19 / 23

This interview originally appeared on GayGamer.net in June 2015. Interview questions and introductory text are by Rinoa (@link6616), and I assisted with liaising with the Fantastic Boyfriends director in Japanese, which included translating Rinoa’s questions into Japanese, and translating the director’s answers into English. (Full disclosure: I also translated prologue chapter of the game and Indiegogo promotional materials). I’m republishing this interview here with Rinoa’s permission so it can remain available as an important discussion with an indie Japanese game developer on LGBTQ topics. Please note that I have an ongoing relationship with the developer, but I’m not able to answer any questions on their behalf. Enjoy!
