It looks like the The Fine Young Capitalists have met their stretch goal.

For anyone who hasn't heard, their story is:

The Fine Young Capitalists' mission is to create media using under represented labour, for unexplored demographics to fund non-profit organizations.

We took 5 women who had never designed a video game before and gave them professional concept artists to create their ideal game. We created a prototype and now want the internet to vote on the best game so we can make it and give all the proceeds to charity.

They created this project to encourage more women to enter game design. Then, well, everything happened. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/611694.page

What are your thoughts on TFYC project? Do you think this is a positive thing for the industry? Which game do you want to see come out of it?

I'll recuse myself on this - I donated, so have a financial stake in this post

It is awesome. Wishing them a huge success. I really need to read the game pitch and vote one of these days. When do the vote ends?

From the latest IndieGoGo update:

'we are overwhelmed and determining what to do next. You can still vote at http://www.thefineyoungcapitalists.com/Voting to determine your best game.'

Still 15 days left for the campaign though, so I'd assume voting ends around about the 26th

I think Afterlife Empire is my favorite. What is yours?

**BlaxicanX**

Lux has an attractive woman character- gets my vote.

Same for me. It looks like a good mix of Theme Hospital and an old Mega Drive game called The Haunting Starring Polterguy

**Chongara**

Afterlife Empire seems like a solid idea. Probably the one I'd vote for. I like puzzley-strategey games.

**Sigvatr**

Definitely Afterlife Empire. I wuv those economic simulators and expanding base games. Like Evil Genius or similar games.

Outstanding support by TFYC.

**PhantomViper**

Afterlife Empire got my vote. I always had a soft spot for Dungeon Keeper type games.

**purplefood**

Voted Lux, damn fine looking game. Afterlife Empire was a close call though

**Melissia**

Voted Empire Afterlife, seems most interesting to me. Not all that interested in mobile games, to be sure.

**Slarg232**

Empire Afterlife seems legit, not going to lie. I would totally play a game that sounded like that as a XBLA type of title.

Afterlife Empire won
