We can not replicate the OpenGL error on any system, we’ve tried on multiple systems, and hardware configurations and we can’t replicate the error. I.E. it works here and not there.

If you are having this error, I.E. that the game is telling you that you need OpenGl 3.1, have a high speed internet connection and have either installed the Afterlife Empire Demo, or the Afterlife Empire Full game we will pay you 20 dollars an hour to have remote access to your system to diagnosis the error.

If you are interested contact support@thefineyoungcapitalists.com

Since Friday we’ve pushed 5 separate updates for capability. If you were unable to run the game before (I.E. It gave you an OpenGL error or just loaded with a black screen, could you please try the game again. If you are still having problem it will help to diagnosis the error.

Somone was asking to edit the text in the game. Since it support modding you can install these zipped file at http://www.thefineyoungcapitalists.com/DavidText.zip in your Mod directory, (You can find it by Right Clicking on file in Steam and go to Properties and Local Files to find that folder, work in both the Full Version and the Demo version.)

Edit the JSON file and you can change whatever text you want.

Feel free to create incriminating screenshot, change everyones text to “Fart,” or you know create a constructive work.

Hello everyone,

Thanks a lot for your interest and unconditional support in the development of Afterlife Empire.

We’ve been working hard over the last month on bug fixes and improvements in order to build the best experience possible for all the indiegogo backers who have believed in this project. While we’ve made a lot of progress, we’re not there yet, and we’ve decided to postpone the release in order to bring this project to a level you’ll be proud of.

We’ve heard from a number of people in the gaming industry, expressing their frustration with the delay. This is totally understandable - nobody likes to see deadlines slip, least of all developers. But we believe it’s best to postpone instead of releasing an unstable game.

We understand that in this industry, there are many developers who are more experienced than we are. But we have trouble understanding the negative commentary when what we’re working for every day is to produce Danielle’s game in the best way possible.

We wish we could be more active on social networks, and communicate our daily advances or problems during production, but we have a small team and right now we’re dedicating all of our energy to developing and improving the game as much as possible.

We truly believe, as you do, that Danielle’s game can be amazing. We hope you can understand our reasons for delaying the release, and that you keep supporting this incredible project.

From Danielle and Lola

Hello everyone!

We want to thank you for being interested in Afterlife Empire. We want to provide the best game possible, so we’re going to be delaying the launch a bit so that we can do so.

Most of our team is working on Macs, so we haven’t had as much bug testing as we’d like on PCs. With our backers having the early access keys we are getting a lot of support and reports on potentially game-breaking bugs we need to fix before we release the game.

For our backers, please email us at Support@TheFineYoungCapitalists.com with reports of any crashes or bugs you experience so we can fix these as quickly as possible. Screenshots are welcome, along with as much detail as you can provide.

For everyone else waiting, we hope that you understand that we want to present a polished product for you to play. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We’ll be announcing more details on the new release date soon!

Stay spooky!

First of all Afterlife Empires Steam Greenlight page is up. Greenlight is our prefered way of distributing the game so if you have a moment feel free to vote it up at

Second of all, we offered a scholarship for STEM through a partnership with the Porn Charity. Well we are happy to announce the winner, for the first year.

Growing up, I have always loved video games, and it’s been the general consensus that I would always go into the field myself. However, it wasn’t until just recently that my aspirations were more refined to the grand vision of the future that I see now. I want to completely revolutionize the way we think about the union between education and technology using the awesome, enthralling power that video games have. Inspired by my younger brother and his struggles in traditional classroom settings, my dream is to work in the game industry making educational games that are actually both fun and functional. Because my little brother has so many learning disorders, he developed a severe anxiety towards books and reading. However, his love for video games has made me realize that he loves great stories as much as any avid reader does, and that his voracious appetite for games has actually helped him dramatically improve his reading skills. After this startling revelation, I began to research the link between “gamifcation” and education, and have shifted my career goals to making games that teach not just for people like my brother, but for gamers of all ages. After studying and experimenting with “gamification”, there is absolutely no reason that gamers—regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality—can’t learn things of merit from games. If Minecraft can teach kids about digital logic and basic circuitry, why can’t we teach any other subject? I also believe that I deserve this scholarship for my work in promoting diversity within the field. I am a National Center for Women & Information Technology Aspirations in Computing winner, an award given to young women who serve as inspirations for both young women and women who have long been in the industry. I am also one of nine young women worldwide chosen to be a She++ Campus Ambassador, a position that gives college-going women the resources needed to help alleviate some of the specific problems that plague their campuses in regards to being both accessible and hospitable to underrepresented demographics. I also teach weekend computing workshops for middle school girls, volunteer with GEMS clubs, and mentor several FIRST robotics teams. Ultimately, and hopefully through developing my games, I hope to become a positive inspiration for girls wanting to become computer scientists and game developers themselves. I feel that many of the women in the industry spotlight give an overall negative impression of the field, and are actually pushing aspiring young women away from the field rather than encouraging them to pursue their passions. I want to set a positive example for women everywhere that you can be both kind and successful in a field that has for so long been telling them that such a feat is impossible. Financially, these dreams are a long shot. Annually, my FAFSA EFC is the absolute lowest it can be, and I have had to take out private loans and borrow to be able to pay for my education thus far.
