E23 Proud To Gayme - Marceline Leiman & Going Big on Small Ideas

Danielle Reynolds chats with Marceline Leiman (she/her), a game designer, developer, and educator who received the Diana Jones Emerging Designer award in 2025. Marceline shares her queer journey from labeling herself as an ally to coming out as trans femme, and they discuss the nuance among queer identities and experiences. They also talk about Marceline’s career, including how she broke into game design through a Twitter post that went "viral" and how she's used game design contests to motivate and challenge herself.

Stay tuned for the Seasons of Pride bonus segment, where Clara Mount talks about the way LGBTQIA+ artist Nolan Nasser (he/him) brings his passion for gaming to life through his work. See what Nolan's up to on n3-studios.com, @n3_nolan on Instagram, and nolann3 on Bluesky.
