GaymerX Foundation launched last year as the advocacy arm of the GaymerX conference, a series of games convention for developers and fans in the LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bi, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual) community. Today, it announced that it’s officially a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The indie gaming studio MidBoss runs both the event and the foundation. It also developed the cyberpunk adventure game 2064: Read Only Memories that released in January and produced the 2014 documentary Gaming in Color, which explores the gaming industry through a queer lens. Gaming in Color raised a little over $51,000 via a crowdsourced Kickstarter campaign.
