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
Who's making games for your grandma? As we celebrate International Women's Day, and as we seek to honor the women in our lives, we asked this question, and our followers answered! 🌟 65% of the women in our lives (quite possibly more) are playing a mobile daily or very close to it! It's a primary source of "ME" time for many women. But how many games are being made specifically for them?🌟 ❤️ #iwd2024 #celebratediversity #grandma #mobilegames #gaming #grandmaplaysgamestoo #gamesforgrandma #wordmatter #playtime #metime #internationalwomensday #iwd #representationmatters #equity #inclusion (Photo credit: a mother and a grandma, courtesy of Carina Kom!)

Why diversity & inclusion are good for business 👇 Only 27% of positions at major web3 companies are held by women, mostly in non-technical roles. The gap becomes broader regarding funding: female NFT artists claim a mere 5% of all sales, and all-male founding teams raise, on average, four times more than all-female teams. At the RARI Foundation, we benefit from the unique perspective of an organization led entirely by females and recently collaborated with leading women in Web3 to showcase the importance and impact of inclusivity.

Gamers come from everywhere, regardless of background and gender. It is important to have diversity among those who make them too, so that we can create games that are enjoyable for everyone. Yesterday, Virtuos' Strategy and Marketing Director Angeline Chen went on air with Melanie Oliveiro on CNA938 FM, sharing her thoughts on how to provide equal opportunities for women in the games industry. "From my experience working in Virtuos, a lot of effort in advocating for gender diversity goes into the details, and sustaining such efforts. If not, it's just virtue signaling if you just say that you support women and come up with a few LinkedIn posts about it," shared Angeline. "At Virtuos, we constantly advocate for a certain percentage of employees and even senior management to be female. Our company also sponsors organizations such as Women in Games and Women in Animation and offers scholarships for women in certain markets to make sure that we are nurturing the industry in the direction that we want it to grow." Big thanks to Melanie and Channel News Asia for having us! #gamedev #diversity #womeningames
