Kevin from Denkiphile: "For those of you out of the loop, women make up a significant margin of both the planet Earth and video gaming. I won’t bore you with the statistics except, wait – I will: according to Business Insider, the number of female developers have doubled since 2009 to 22% and is still rising. An Electronic Software Association (ESA) study found that 45% of gamers are, in fact, female. While this all seems very recent, women have been a driving force for games since their invention. Folks like Anita Sarkisian and Zoey Quinn would have the rest of the world believe that, somehow, anyone without a Y chromosome is automatically cast aside by the industry, but that’s hardly the case. Gamers just tend to appreciate actual games more than Choose Your Own Adventure books being peddled in the Steam store. Here is a list of some influential female game developers and their contributions."
The former project lead on Portal is now chief operating officer of Hawthorne developer NEARstudios.
The director of the infamously scrapped Star Wars 1313 has joined the team working on Amy Hennig's upcoming Star Wars game at Skydance New Media.
I was at the announcement for it at E3. They had us in a side hall conference room that was just a couple rows of benches. When the gameplay and video demo started the side walls looked like windows that showed us dropping down levels in our ship to 1313.
Glad he’s onboard, 1313 was so ahead of its time from what was shown. This bodes well for her game. Looking forward to what they are cooking up.
After 1313 cancellation and the new trilogy I think it's safe to say Disney was the worst thing that could have happened to star wars
Well I hope the protagonist is not an angry, bitter woman, who is mad at the world and despises the need for men, or men themselves.
At today's Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, a new Captain America game was unveiled along with a short teaser, and it features Black Panther, too.
Meh . Captain America is boring and I know little of Black Panther besides the movie .
This is great, it’s like the comics where Cap ran into the Black Panther of that time period before he was frozen
Nick Fury was also in it, I’m hoping it’s the original Nick Fury not the Samuel Jackson lookalike he then played in the films
Well that was something
Kind of
I’m talking about the original before the Ultimate version
The one who was in the Howling Commandos and because he slowly ages then ran Shield in the present

Could you imagine if David Hasshoff showed up in an upcoming Avengers movie as Nick Fury? He would say: “What are you staring at? I am the original.” The crowd would be shock with laughs lol 😂
Looks like it's a WW2 game, so won't be Black Panther from the movies anyway but one of his ancestors.
It's in the title of the article, Amy Hennig is making the game thus it's Amy Hennig's studio Skydance New Media making it.
Wasn't there a recent announcement about them also doing a star wars game? Disney must have a lot of faith in this new studio
Hmm, so you will play as 4 different characters with 4 different play styles in world war 2. I’m pretty tired of games set in world war 2 but seems like the popular set piece to always go to.
It will be sort of interesting to see the narrative of The Black Panther(tachakka I am presuming) who always seemed to be uninterested in that time and who did cross paths with Capt.
