I know a couple, one of which I used to work with. They are both at social gaming studios now. I wonder if the ratio is better in the social realm?

I can name two off the top of my head: Sophie Houlden and Erin Robinson.

There are a lot less female game developers than male, but they are definitely out there.

Brenda Brathwaite is one of the most important female game designers.

Cool, I didn't know that about Centipede. 

Also, I didn't know bentosmile was female.  I guess on forums I always assume everyone is male unless explicitly noted through posts or avatars.  Can't really fault me there statistically haha.  That and I thought she was a cat this whole time.

There are a few, but at least half of them were born male. Don't know if that makes a difference.

There are a few, but I'm a fucking misogynist idiot that no girls want to talk to. Don't know if that makes a difference.

The question I want answered - of all the Barbie games and My Little Pony games, how many women actually were involved in the making of these?

And I had no idea Bento Smile was a she until she left the forum. I had thought he was just a dude that had totally figured out the formula for cute.

With 1 game engine in 2 years, I think I could barely be called a game designer, but for what it is worth Tongue

I'm kind of cheating on both aspects though.

This post is just getting more confusing with every word.  Droop

Would be good to have a wife that helps work on your games all day with you.
