We want you to feel safe, accepted, and part of a community where you can both have fun in and relax after a long day. What our Non-Profit is actively doing:
We provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals to game and socialize in. This has been of particular importance during the pandemic to provide for individuals’ needs to socialize and have fun while staying home. Even after the pandemi
c, for many the internet is the only outlet for individuals to meet this need and we aim to continue to provide this at zero cost to the user. We teach inclusiveness and sportsmanship to people from a variety of ages and backgrounds through gaming events. Through education we are building more inclusiveness in video games and attacking the toxicity, discrimination, and sexism that exists in the gaming industry as a whole. We provide a variety of ways for individuals to try new skills and gain experience in the gaming industry. Individuals can try out being a castor, learn how to run production on gaming events, learn and take part in event planning, management, programming, marketing, or play in tournaments. We are teaching others about possible educational paths you can seek out in college or possible careers in the gaming industry. We produce an educational podcast that teaches inclusiveness, sportsmanship, the gaming industry, the challenges the LGBTQ+ community faces, game development/modding, mental health, content creation, Esports, opportunities in education and more. We produce a series of educational documentary-quality videos called the Aura Fury Academy. These videos dive deeper into many of the subjects the podcast does and more. The videos are professional interviews of members of the gaming industry and community along with talking with individuals who have overcome or still are dealing with barriers in the gaming industry. We provide technical and general assistance to content creators at a variety of levels of skill whether they are seeking to stay casual or make it their career. We are building a list of resources that include educational videos and websites along with license-free resources for music and graphics to help content creators reach their goals. We plan to build a set of resources to teach others about the barriers and challenges being faced by women, minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and those with disabilities in the gaming industry in general. Our hope is that through education we can build more acceptance in the gaming industry and break down the barriers that people face. We will be attending conventions to spread awareness of the barriers faced by women, minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and those with disabilities. We will be pushing the ideas of inclusiveness and sportsmanship. We will build more awareness of Aura Fury and its educational goals. We hope to take part in or run panels that will further the goals of Aura Fury while building more acceptance in the gaming industry. We are seeking out other organizations that teach inclusiveness, sportsmanship and/or provide resources to women, minorities, the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, and those with disabilities in the gaming industry to partner with. We are also seeking organizations to run events with to provide more opportunities for individuals in Aura Fury to grow their skills in gaming, seek out careers, or have more opportunities to socialize and have fun. We are developing another community called Community Connections to help build and teach communities’ owners and admins to be more inclusive in their communities, overcome technical issues that we run into running servers and events, and overall run better communities. In Community Connections we share ideas on how to grow communities, troubleshoot and share fixes for game servers, share how to install game servers on Linux and Windows, improve admining, tackle how to deal with individuals that are banned, build more accepting communities, and share useful resources.
