Game Dev Heroines – Jenny Brusk

A simple drawing of a girl in red staring down a tiger against a yellow background

Jenny Brusk ought to be a game developer legend at this point. She’s worked on game series like Backpacker and she’s done a ton of things within game development, but most of all, she has educated new game developers at the University of Skövde. In addition to that, she’s also started a network for non-men... Continue Reading →

Bad Reputation

A set of games in the background, a controller up front. The symbol of feminism, a closed fist in the sign of woman, on top.

One thing that really pains me in some cases is when I hear from people that work at places I have worked previously is that they chose to work there because I was or had. The reason it pains me is because those individuals I’ve spoken to have always said “oh, she worked there, it... Continue Reading →

A Journey

Since I started my habit of reading 10 pages a day from a book that wasn’t exactly screaming “read me”, I’ve read eleven books about games or players.
