#NonbinaryCodedGames is almost over, and I have one more installment planned. However I am kinda really sad today (I'll be fine) which means I can't give the energy I want to send off this awesome event today. So we're gonna do it tomorrow instead! 1pm GMT, 5 hours, we go until the wire. Join us!
A promo graphic for content creator MaddMilliner. It advertises a Steam event happening July 13 to July 20th hosted by NomnomNami and npckc called Nonbinary Coded Games. The graphic background is in the nonbinary flag colours (black, white, purple, and yellow) and features the event banner, thumbnails for the games Madd is streaming on day 4 (Angel Clicker, Adaptory, Gas Station Story, Winter Heat, Backtrace: Mechanisms for Forgetting, and Sorry We're Closed). It also shows an avatar of Madd holding a nonbinary flag heart and text that reads "Monday July 20th @ 1PM GMT; twitch.tv/maddmilliner; follow to celebrate nonbinary people's day!"
