We sure do. Are you in the WNFC Discord? You can make install requests there.

AI “art.” Gross.

Last chance (for now) was this past Wednesday night. We’re currently in the process of breaking everything down and putting it all into storage (or selling it off) until we find another permanent venue.

On behalf of everyone involved with WNFC, @wnfcdojo.bsky.social, the Vermont FGC, the wider FGC, and everyone who supported us in any way possible, thank you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for powering this experiment.

We are not finished. Nowhere near close to it.

Because we’ve been doing something much different than every other fighting game community scene, not just nationwide, but *worldwide.* We initiated an experiment that yielded genuinely beautiful results, something that the world could certainly use more of, especially right now.

As such, WNFC and @wnfcdojo.bsky.social will be going into low-power mode for the next few months or so, and during that time, we’ll be restructuring precisely what it is we offer, how it is we can offer it, and what it is we can continue doing to best support the community we’ve built.

And if we couldn’t provide a substantially better value for families and attendees than every other option available in the local area, the prevailing wisdom was to not abandon our core ethos to stay alive in our current form.

We decided to do what all fighting game players do: adapt.

We found ourselves facing a dilemma: do we raise prices on everything and diminish the value we presented compared to other activities and programs in the area (as we were cheaper overall than just about every local afterschool program and extracurricular activity), or do we close our doors?

Sadly, we’re subject to the same whims of fate everything else is, and with the costs of everything rising, our revolutionary little project has found itself priced out of existence. Unfortunately, we can’t continue to provide the programs we have at the low price points we’ve maintained.

We accomplished so much in so little time, & we’re proud to have had the feedback of parents & caregivers that have expressed how we’ve changed their kids’ lives for the better. Our adult community has also been fiercely supportive and dedicated to furthering our cause of an inclusive space for all.

For the last 2.5 years, we’ve been the primary focal point for the VT FGC, & the dojo has not only been a weekly locals venue, but a daily afterschool program built to teach kids how to tolerate adversity, how to problem solve through setbacks & failures, positive interaction with others, & more.
