This blog is part of the Factory Girl project.
Factory Girl is a small production company of games and other playable products; Factory Girl aims to become a production hub, attracting different independent producers, and acting as a facilitator between creative teams, consultants, sponsors, and other organizations. Factory Girl is aimed to women, in order to explore the submerged continent of women in games and media industry in the EU; Factory Girl will soon offer a database for professionals, researchers and students interested in the relation between women and games.
Factory Girl is still in its infancy, so look out for upcoming developments in the next months!

Hi,
We thought you and your visitors might be interested to hear about a new Alternate Reality Game that we’re putting together.
“Traces of Hope” is being launched as the first ever charity online ARG and is being built by the British Red Cross to coincide with its Civilians and Conflict month. The game features Joseph a sixteen-years-old caught up in the Ugandan civil war, separated from his family, hungry and alone in a camp overflowing with thousands forced to flee, Joseph is desperately seeking his mother. But he needs your help…
Registration will open on Sunday 28th but until then there’s a teaser page at www.tracesofhope.com and a teaser video at http://www.vimeo.com/1811645
We’d really appreciate a link to the game or any coverage you could provide. Any questions please let me know,
Thanks
Alex
