for those who weren’t around for arkh project: incredibly predatory tumblr user with a history of fraudulent fundraisers claimed they were making a video game, put up enough concept art to indicate that the protagonist literally owned another person and This Was Fine And Romantic, and at the height of their “productivity” managed to produce a walk cycle that was not actually viewable because the clip lasted only a fraction of a second. people gave them a lot of money and then they got chased off the website for fraud and shitty treatment of other users (stalking, doxxing, harassing, etc). now they’re back!

IDK how many of y'all know about Arkh Project, but it’s a scam run by shitty people so don’t give them money!

It’s worth noting that they’re not doing it as “the Arkh Project” now; Riley just set up a YouCaring page (a site designed to help people pay for medical bills and the like) for money to “make video games.” Hopefully we’re all more knowledgeable about crowdfunding scams, especially in video games, not to fall for this. But you can never be too careful!

DON’T give them any money, and report the page to YouCaring as a scam.

For those who are newer to Tumblr, here’s some background on the Arkh Project.

the YouCaring page itself has some incredibly emotionally evocative and manipulative language

it’s really messed up honestly, there’s no transparency or explanation but it’s written in a way to guilt the reader into donating
