Heya, thanks for the post. There's a lot of other indie developers out there making their own stories. I will first float the two guys that have helped me out with this:
Blayke: Has his own studio now called Apollo Studios and focuses on telling lots of different stories with queer themes. He also crosses genres. So he likes to pump out short stories, games, VNs, or just other supplemental media to support his universe. He's always working on several projects at once but his original flagship project was New Hope which can be found here https://apollostudios-lgbt.itch.io/new-hope
Jordyn: Just started his own project and is only 2 updates in so it is very new but he's still actively working on it and sometimes it can be fun to get in early on projects like this and just watch them grow up. You can find his project Farmboy and the Wolf here https://jordynstr8.itch.io/
That being said, these two projects are very different from mine because we're very different people. Blayke likes to write stories so his focus is mainly on writing stuff while Jordyn likes to do stylized things and is sorta going for a vibe. I'm not sure exactly what type of game you're looking for. If you happen to be over on bsky, I have a custom feed made where a lot of queer developers are posting and you can find it here https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:nohnymo6nc4g6ei4ntsivq33/feed/aaadctjyezpt2
