Welcome to the next installment of our Gnome Spotlight: Notables series. The notables series is a look at game developers in the gaming industry doing good work. The series will focus on game creators from underrepresented populations primarily, and each entry will be a short bio and interview. We’ve currently got a group of authors and guest authors interviewing game creators and hope to bring you many more entries in the series as it continues on. If you’ve got a suggestion for someone we should be doing a notables article on, send us a note at [email protected]. – Head Gnome John

Talking With Caitlynn

1) Tell us a little bit about yourself and your work. 

My name’s Caitlynn Belle, I’m a queer games girl from Savannah, Georgia, and I mostly release small, experimental games through my Patreon (caitlynnbelle.com and at

2) What project are you most proud of?

Ugh, it’s hard to pick. I like them for different reasons, but if I just had to pick, then I’ve got a game called Kirigami Dominatrix Display Simulator which is about being a hologram domme and using stationary tools like pens, scissors, paperclips, and so on, to metaphorically sexually dominate a sheet of paper, which represents your client. You enact consensual sadism on the paper this way, and I really just think it’s a clever bit of immersion, how you get to physically damage something in creative ways and use that to journey through a sexual experience.
