The project has the backing of Undertale creator Toby Fox, whose game has already helped inspire many gamers around the world suffering from depression. Gamers for Good’s project hopes to similarly remove the ‘META’ barriers from our culture to get people thinking differently about mental health issues.
Submissions for the competition have been open for a few months, but the latest update reveals the closing date. A Kickstarter campaign for the publication will then commence on October 18th.
– Liz Cooper, President of Gamers for Good
Proceeds from the book will be donated to three organizations: Anxiety Gaming, Take This, and Child’s Play.
If you’re a budding artist, keen musician, or just have a kick-ass cosplay outfit you want to show off, then you can get involved by submitting your content at the Gamers for Good website. But with less than a week to go, you’d better be quick.
