Drag Her!, a 2D fighting game starring Ru Paul’s Drag Race icons, ceased development last week

On May 15, the official X account for Drag Her!, an indie fighting game set to feature famous drag performers, shared a sad update: After three years of development, and around $75,000 in funding via Kickstarter, the game was shutting down and the dev team was disbanding. The reason? “A simple lack of funding.” An unfinished version of the game, called Drag Her! Failure to Launch Edition, launched for free on Steam the next day.

Fun fact: every drag star wants to be taller than one other!” And though the team’s Kickstarter and its nearly 1,000 backers helped “moved the needle significantly,” they ran into serious problems when it came time to find a publisher. Too gay to function In an industry still plagued by the vestiges of racism, sexism, homophobia and all the other tenets of a small group of loud assholes determined to maintain the status quo, publishing Drag Her! was an uphill battle.
