It's really important for women to have representation and to see themselves in the future of game development. 💡 Women make up a significant portion of the gaming community. Ignoring or marginalizing this demographic not only hampers the industry's growth but also alienates a substantial portion of its audience. 💥 Organizations like Women in Games play a crucial role in advocating for gender diversity, supporting women in the industry, and creating opportunities for their involvement and advancement. 🏫 Outreach collaborations with Ripstone, further contribute to building a more inclusive gaming landscape. ❤️ It's heartening to see efforts to encourage and celebrate women in game development, as this not only benefits individuals but also enriches the industry as a whole. 💫 Increased representation, support, and encouragement pave the way for a more vibrant and innovative future for game development. #iwd2024 #internationalwomensday2024

Happy International Women's Day! 😍 What games are we making for people like my mom who play games daily? My mom makes it a point to play games on her iPad every night before going to bed, she says this helps her to relax and exercise her brain. Throughout my career in video games, it fills me with curiosity to think about what other types of games women like our moms and grandmas would have played, had they been exposed to them. But the reality - that even reaching 'parity' will take effort from everyone - starts with challenging how we perceive safety and equity, and we accept why this is fundamentally important. Inclusivity in creative technology matters. Did you know: 💔 Women receive just 1.9% of VC funding. 💔 Also, 60% of women who play <mobile> games believe that 30% of mobile games are created for them. 💔 Unsurprisingly, the representation of female game devs varies between 1-25% in most game studios. 💔 Yet 48% of our player demographics identify as female (more if we consider non-binary and trans)! A few thoughts on what we can do: 🤔 I can't believe I have to say this: Stop using LinkedIn as a means to date women online. 👨🏽⚖️ Where possible, consider donating your time, or financial resources if you can mentor or support organizations like Diversity in Games, Women in Games , Women in Tech World (WiTWorld). 👨🏽💻 Highlight the successes and contributions of female, trans, or non-binary-led content through social media, awards, or speaking opportunities. 🧠 Even if you don't identify as a woman, get involved with local educational institutions like Vancouver Film School, Vancouver Community College (VCC), Northeastern University Vancouver and support more underrepresented folks getting into the industry. 📢 Advocate for policies that support gender equality and address issues like harassment and discrimination in the industry. Speak UP when something feels so wrong it can't be right. #gamesindustry #creativetechnology #womenentrepreneurs #internationalwomensday2024 #diversity #equity #inclusivity

As a bossy, direct, and "difficult" female, this is a post that really speaks to me. "When we talk about women in the games industry, the ‘difficult woman’ is one who demands a seat at the table, who asks uncomfortable questions, who disrupts the norms, and who is relentless in the quest for fairness and equality, which can be disruptive." The latest Key Facts report by Video Games Europe, as highlighted in the newsletter, brings to light an important statistic: there has been a 7% increase in the number of women working in the European games industry. However, it's concerning that despite this growth, women still make up only 22% of the workforce. Given that approximately half of the world's population is female, and likewise, about half of all game players are women, it raises a critical question: Why does the industry workforce still exhibit such a significant gender imbalance? Super grateful to be able to work for develop who are voted best workplaces for women - where women are not bossy, but leaders 😉 Feminism is not to be mistaken with man-hating. #proudtobedifficult #womeningames #womeningaming
