Is GameDev Suitable for Women/Girls as Well?
Not only boys play computer games. Unlike what many people think, it is actually far from the truth – 41% of all gamers in the world are women!
So even though there are many gamer girls, is it appropriate for women to develop games as well? Yes! Yes, yes and yes!
Another time yes!
Think about it, if 41% of all gamers are women, and more than 90% of developers are men, that means a woman developer has even a bigger advantage than of a man! After all, she knows better what women likes and what they don’t, and it will be easier for her to create a game adapted to the female audience since she is part of it. Equally, of course, it would be easier for a man to create a game for the male audience. But still, for every 10 man developers there is only one woman! 10 times less competition and more success rates!!
By the way, among our best students, 2 are women (as of date 15/2/2019)
In conclusion – every gender has their advantage in game development. The most important thing is to use it 🙂
The rest is piece of cake. YOU choose the profession, it does not choose you!
