Can I ask how did you get into doing these talks and such? :) is loveee toeventually be able to get inspiring talks to other people!

I started off by offering to speak at schools & my studio supported that. Then whenever there were opportunities at universities etc, I started putting my hand up for things and applying/submitting talks to industry events. Once you do a few, people start contacting you for more!

Uuuuurgh. It's like a who's who of my favourite people.

Why do you sound so sad about that?

Aaargh, that is so RAD! , I wish people were doing talks like this when I was in highschool... The kids must have thought it was Christmas!

Omg same! I grew up playing games as a kid too but refused to call myself a gamer until late in my twenties because I'd learnt as a kid that that was a title just for boys... I wish somebody had taught me when I was younger that they want the case!

I dunno what's better, you speaking so passionately, or the possibility of you talking in front of my roommates younger sister and possibly giving her the inspiration she needs to take that leap into game design when she graduates. She lives in Ballarat and is into game dev.

Update: She was there. Loved what you all had to say. Especially loved hearing from female industry professionals and the amazing things that they do. You all did a really good job in letting her know that this is a career path she can walk comfortably. Thank you.
