Your contribution will directly support the continued game development. With sufficient support for development and testing, the project hopes to deliver and launch the web version of the game during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa in June 2010. The mobile-phone version will follow in August 2011.

Thank you for your support!

Comments and Feedback

Empowering play

Thank you. I am working with youth in SA and will see if we can use the game. I found that everything was working VERY slowly and it may be our slow internet connection here.

Domestic Violence

Breakaway seems to be a great concept. Will it deal with date rape, slavery/trade of women and girls, mail order brides and the likes? How will it affect the Muslim groups that put wormen and girls in a lower class and treat badly? Can it eventually help with reduction of war and aggression? Most men are bred from violence in most Muslim/Islamic cultures and countries, will it help there?
