This is a group I envisioned where various groups could meet to discuss video games - The logistics of the games, whether they're opensource, GP/L, etc, languages and technologies, and all that - I'd love to have 1 huge group make a big game and market it together and split the proceeds but we'd have to decide the logistics of that and something tells me from the other groups I'm in, that the group will grow in population faster than the group is ready for in function. This group is for all fu …

I want young females to not feel discouraged to pursue a career in the video game industry and older females to not feel awkward among other games. I hope to promote games designed for females in mind and participate in holding events for females. Because what I stand for is a niche away from the norm, I strive to create a balance …
