Game industry women to know of 2010

Spy this Valentine’s Day treat . Published February 14, 2010, Rhoulette of the FragDolls put up a list of “Games Industry Women to Know 2010.”

It’s a phenomenal list of developers (including Amy Hennig of Naughty Dog, who just launched Uncharted 2), journalists (Leigh Alexander of Gamasutra), design professors and the like. It’s a really great reminder that while the industry looks fairly male-dominated, there are plenty of women making, writing about and teaching the art of games.

From the post:

“[the second] factoring motivation was a recent encounter I had with a Top 50 People in the Game Industry list that had ZERO women on it. ZERO!!! And it was a list in a major game industry magazine!!! I am still baffled. In the midst of my initial shock, I could name at least a dozen women off the top of my head who would vie for a spot on any Game Industry Top 50 list, so it’s impossible for me to comprehend how the compilers of that particular list did not manage to think of a single one.”

Go have a look and take note of some of the lesser-known folks on the list. Kudos to Rhoulette for putting it together.
