Student Session: Gender-Inclusive Game Design
Monday, August 9
9 to 10:30 p.m.
University Crossings 149
Gender Inclusiveness in games is something all developers should be looking to. With the market expanding so quickly, there is no way developers can keep up with all of the demands by making the same games that target the stereotypical male gamer. As a developer and a designer, it is important that you know what appeals to women as well as what appeals to men. Making games appeal to any gender is the work of the development team, not the marketing team. This presentation will provide basic knowledge on gender inclusiveness in games. Visit the Drexel Game Developers Facebook page for more information. |
