Women are believed to be far from the gaming industry. When you team up with a bunch of friends to play CS: Go, she is expected to patiently wait until the game is over, and then sigh how much time you would spend on something so impractical and stupid. However, this is not the ultimate proximity, and not all women will nag at you for playing video games. Some of them actually might have developed it for you! But still, most of the people will only mention Hideo Kojima. But we are here to introduce you and your significant other to some of the most influential and powerful female game developers.
Kim Swift
She is a diva of game development, a woman who works at Valve. Because of her participation and restful hours of work, we played Portal, and this game about Chell and her ability to change the space around her, creating portals, is as good as we remember. Kim started her career as a game-designer at DigiPen Institute of Technology where she helped in the creation of Narbacular Drop. The protagonist is a girl who uses portals to travel the world. Soon, Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve, noticed this girl and invited her personally to work on Portal. She also participated in creating Left 4 Dead. She now left Valve to continue her career at Airtight Games, and she was invited to work for EA games.
