Creating a voice: Why starting the Scottish Rainbow...
summary
A grassroots Scottish LGBT+ game‑dev group forms, gains momentum and about 100 members within months; it runs casual meetups (a Dundee meetup overfilled a booked 16‑person space) and organizes local collaboration rather than broad online noise. Concrete plans include a game jam planned end of August to produce collaborative prototypes, build networks across Edinburgh Glasgow and Dundee, and surface hireable talent—an actual community built and active, not just another discussion thread.
