GX3 convention meets funding goal, will continue in 2015

Fan-oriented gaming convention GX3 (formerly GaymerX) has surpassed its initial funding goal, ensuring that the weekend-long event will run for its third consecutive year in 2015.

Initially pitched as an event focused on the LGBT community, this year's showing expands its reach to include "everyone who feels like they've been left out of mainstream gamer culture." Shortly before meeting the event's funding milestone, organizers revealed that Mass Effect and Metal Gear Solid series voice actress Jennifer Hale will attend the show as a featured "Boss of Honor."

The event now eyes its stretch goals, which will fund proposed additions like the developer-focused GX Dev and panel series GX Talks Season 2. Funding has entered its final hours, and will conclude on September 18.
