AfterLife Empire is Autobótika’s first ever endeavour in video game design. We teamed up with, The Fine Young Capitalists, a group of professionals dedicated to providing job opportunities to marginalized individuals. Together, we held a video game design competition in which women from all across the globe were encouraged to create their own stories and submit their own designs.

 

Of the submissions, five designs were chosen to be developed by professional concept artists. We then asked the internet to vote for their favorite design, and with the help of Game Nation Inc., came to create, AfterLife Empire.

Those who helped fund the project received a percentage of the profits and were able to donate them to a charity of their choosing. Additionally, we  

 

Our intention for this project was to provide women, and other artists on the margins, opportunities to become involved in the animation industry. At the same time, this project helped spur growth in Colombia’s nearly non-existent gaming industry.
