Autobotika, the Colombian based development studio behind Afterlife Empire, has been releasing new images and short video clips for the upcoming strategy time-management game from the female developer who took part in The Fine Young Capitalists’ GameJam. The same GameJam that was compromised on multiple occasions by individuals who had invested time and energy into thwarting #GamerGate.

The new images are joyfully pleasant and continue to outline the playful art-style that governs the upcoming game starring /v/’s Vivian James. You can check out a quick video clip of a high-tech hipster getting sacred and falling over.

You can also check out one of the other characters that the team has been working on. Scope out her bright color scheme and ethnic attire below.

The team also revealed one of the play maps via Twitter, giving gamers a look at one of the playable floors where players will be able to scare the living crap out of the 3D thespians, similar to the Genesis title The Haunting. It showcases how the props are being utilized on the map, as well as the different ways tiles can be implemented to give the stage a vastly different look per room. Check it out below.

It’s terribly unfortunate that a female game designer has her title ignored by the current old guard in the media as they exercise cronyism to only promote and support female game designers that they’ve either slept with or owe favors.

The sooner the sexist, misogynistic, anti-consumer games media that controls the industry bite the dust, the better off all gamers and game designers will be. As one indie dev mentioned, “My dreams are in the hands of media that I largely disagree with.”

I’m sure most indie devs who aren’t getting favors out of scandals also largely agree with the assessment above.

Anyway, it’s sad major game sites won’t be covering Afterlife Empire due to their hypocritical stance on the issue involving The Fine Young Capitalists and Autobotika.

Nevertheless, you can learn more about Afterlife Empire and get more of a glimpse into the first officially backed crowd-funded title to feature Vivian James by paying a visit to the official Autobotika website.
