I found this link online tonight of a game (Arkh) that aims to become a major, “quality RPG” released for Windows and Mac (and possibly xbox live) and is currently raising money for production that aims to break the precincts of races, gender and sexuality. It’s aim is to market to a demographic of “queer people” and “people of colour”. It rejects the cybertype in as many ways as possible by constructing the game around two female characters, one black, the other white (both fully armoured and clothed), capable, intellectual and, from what I can gather, are already romantically involved, or have the potential to become romantically involved within the game.
Taken from the website, the head of the project and coordinator, Riley, stated that “This game is to help normalize the millions of other people who play video games!”
All in all; I found it interesting =)
