feistiestfurriestfuzzyfaggot asked: What exactly does ARKH/Arkh mean and is it typed as ARKH or Arkh?
averagesparrow asked: Will you be releasing the NWN prototype as a sort of teaser or demo?
feistiestfurriestfuzzyfaggot asked: Oh, and why not use Source, Unreal, or an opensource engine like HPL instead of an oldie like Neverwinter Nights?

laurenanalogy asked: Just a curious question from a grammar nerd: I noticed in your description of Jerah you used "they" as the pronoun. I wondered what made you decide to use "they" as the singular, gender-neutral term rather than "ze" or another gender-neutral pronoun.

The current Arkh team.
Since all but two or three people have put their info up, we’re posting a link to the list of people currently volunteering their time to #Arkh. You can find the list here, within the “people” tag on the side. Some people have chosen to link portfolios and personal information, and some have chosen to keep their information private so as not to risk their livelihoods.

elizabun asked: Can you guys make a deviantart group so it would easier to show fan-art?
personman asked: Can you give us a mini-bio series of the people making this game?

fishspeakers asked: When is the next character coming out? I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next.
wolfennights asked: I like the idea of a character reincarnating through the story as a gameplay mechanic, AND I like the idea of a story that is about introspection. It reminds me a lot of Planescape: Torment, where the main character is trying to regain his memories and figure out "what can change the nature of a man." I wish you luck on the game and hope it will be great. :)
chanticleer-hegemony asked: What about a pay what you want system, similar to the Humble Bundles?
naekingnaequinnaelairdnaemaster asked: Will you be selling Arkh when it's completed? And if so, where will that money go?

anathemathebibliophile asked: Do you have an estimated time to release the design document? I think once that's made available, a lot of the worries people have will be quelled. People understand it's a living document and it may change during development, but just having it available in some form would be good.
fisticuffsandadventure asked: Have you considered revealing some aspects of gameplay a little bit earlier in order to quell some of the anxiety fans have about the project lacking any concrete info on gameplay?
d0cpr0fess0r asked: Have you ever seen Egoraptor's Sequelitis regarding Megaman X? You should watch it and keep track of the points he makes about game design and what players want in their video games. It's on Youtube.
wedietogetherforever asked: Have you guys made a bio for Ain and Haruka? I think it should be linked at the top of your tumblr.

Correcting some unfortunate rumors.
It is going around that because we chose indiegogo, upon a suggestion, which allows us to at least receive any money that is donated prior to reaching our goal, that we plan to scam everyone out of their money. First, I think this would be a pretty terrible way to try to get a lot of money. Illness scams usually cost just as much and tend to do better. But moving along.
We are working with...
helltothenaw asked: Hey, just dropping you all a line to let you know how great I think this project is. I'm setting aside some money to get the Arkh fliers printed so I can pass them around in my town. Keep up all the awesome work!

But will #Arkh be a good game?
thearkhproject:
A few people have expressed that “they don’t want a game to cater to their sexuality, but to be a good game.”
First, I should mention that the team is made up of gamers and developers. We’ve played games. A lot of them. We’ve done smaller scale hobby development in indie games, and we’re hiring people who are experienced in working on top-level shipped titles.
We ALSO want this...

naranxas asked: You know your project is a great idea when it has this much support, attention, and fans at such an early stage! I'm sure it will come out beautifully. :D
zanabizarre asked: I had no idea until I saw the comment earlier today that this project HADN'T been around for a while, it already seems so well-developed. I feel all in-the-know now! This is an interesting project, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it.
whencylonsdream asked: Hi~ is there any character art of Neelu yet? I'm super excited about her character and wanted to do fanart if there was any official art out yet.

insistonplot asked: How long has this project been around? I've heard of it recently, but it seems this has been around for a while.
culturevator asked: 1) LOVE THIS GAME CONCEPT (expect some money from me shortly) 2) Based on some of the background I've been reading on your in-progress wiki, this sounds like it would make an amazing online multi-player RPG concept as well. Plus the revenue one could make via subscriptions for such a game could help fund the computer/xbox version. Is this something you guys have thought about/considered?
cyberstrike asked: What other forms of funding have or will you seek other than crowdfunding?
changkyus asked: this is amazing, i love it! totally gonna save money for this.
daedaluskalais asked: Me too; I love everything about it now. :) Next is to have someone write books for me to buy and read. lol
daedaluskalais asked: At first I dismissed this as a game not meant for me, but when I saw it pop up on my recommendations for a second time, I read into it. The characters, the story, the passion... I will admit I was offput by the goal at first, but when I remembered what some of my friends have been through IRL, I had a change of heart. I'm just too used to gaming norms. Time to mix it up. I'm a young...

Some small updates made to the #Arkh tumblr!
First, we’ve added direct information if you’d like to help spread the word about #Arkh in your neighborhoods! You can always check this information at the top of this page. It includes PDFs of different flyers that you can hand out in your local communities. Please let us know if you want to make a street team in your area, and if you’re able to video tape your group for us to...
antivian asked: Hola! :D Just wanted to say I absolutely love the goals of Arkh and I can provide assistance with the South American cultures and folk lore. Just wondering though, would it be okay/helpful if I also submitted culture from the Caribbean? If so, I can ask my family to help shell out loads of Cuban stories and such. :)
theshepardtwins asked: I'm from Malaysia. I was born in Kuala Lumpur, and I know some of the local stories from South East Asia. :)
#Arkh needs help from our supporters of different...
thearkhproject:
So what #Arkh has decided to explore for each level is a specific cultural story about either:
Romantic Love
Close, devoted friendship
Close familial relationships
Please send us an email with the name of story, the culture it’s from, and a short synopsis of the story. You must have a lot of information about the story, and preferably it’s a bit of a long, detailed...
holymotherofrowling asked: Hi! I was just wondering if you had tagged your drawings or anything? Just 'cause I wanted to find a specific one to reblog and it would be easier that way. If not, it's definitely fine. I can look - I was just curious and I can't see how things are tagged because of the theme.
contradictme asked: Congratulations on meeting your initial fund-raising goal!
odradek asked: Just thought I'd let you know that you currently have an ad for Santorum up top, in case you wanted to mess with ad settings.
beyond-perimeters asked: Since Arkh includes many different cultures, will there be different types of music/a different soundtrack in each part of the game?
sin-overseer asked: For monster design you could all give them the same color eyes, that glow. It would incorporate you last ask and also include your own idea :)
