Casa Atabex Aché - House of Womyn's Power

Casa Atabex Aché has a rich legacy of supporting womyn of color to reconnect with their individual and collective powers of healing and action so they may transform their lives, families and communities. Utilizing a holistic model, Casa's mission is to support the emotional, spiritual, physical and intellectual development of womyn and their health needs related to their experiences of abuse and neglect. Casa has two core constituencies: young and adult womyn of color living in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx as well as young and adult womyn of color organizers on the frontline (e.g. activists, social workers, teachers, etc.).

About The Arkh Project:

The Arkh Project is a grassroots project created not by a major company, or even an indie company, but by individual people who would like to see more representation for the underrepresented.

The ultimate goal? To make a game that focuses on queer people and people of color as main characters, and beyond that, allow people who are tired of mainstream gaming to have something completely off the wall and step into a new role.

The secondary goal is to have the game made by queer artists and programmers, and PoC artists and programmers, supporting them in their craft amongst an industry that discourages them from applying. All money donated to the project will go to development; the coordinators and volunteers are not paid and are giving their free time to make this happen.

Arkh right now is in the design phase; that is, the actual run of the game is being created and made into an official game design document for programming purposes, as well as an easy to view wiki for fans to follow. The wiki is not up yet, but it will be linked as we get further into the design. Because Arkh plans to include numerous different, not-well-known cultures, we must spend a lot of time researching and talking to people from these cultures to ensure and authentic design and gaming experience.

Arkh will be a linear, full-action RPG, with current plans to program it on Unity, and, depending on what our programmers say when we release the design document to them, on Xbox Live Arcade, making it playable on your computer or a console. The PC version will definitely run on Windows and Mac. Linux is still unfortunately up for debate.
