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.
