This quarter I am delighted to bring you an interview with one of my personal game design heroes, Lori Ann Cole. She is best known for creating and designing the five games in the classic Sierra adventure-RPG series Quest for Glory. Now, she operates the online game The School for Heroes and blogs there regularly. Enjoy.
After many failed attempts to penetrate the seedy underbelly of the video game store world and learn it’s secrets, I’ve finally managed to break through their security. Agent Link went in and was forced to give up two of his three lives and “sacrifice” her fairy friend Navi. But it was more than worth it. Here we talk to our contact, Agent Caleco* (*Name changed to protect anonymity) and learn all about the life of a female video game store assistant manager.
I am honored and excited to bring you this interview with Stevana “Stevie” Case. Currently, she is the Vice President of Business and Sales at online game service provider fatfoogoo, but our readers may know her better as the first woman to game competitively. Enjoy!
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Karen Clark, a Project Manager at BioWare, where she is presently working on Dragon Age: Origins. Not only did she humor me by talking about how cool Dragon Age is, she discussed her views on a number of interesting topics, giving answers I think everyone should take a look at. When not working for BioWare, she blogs (at Finding something is losing something else), works with Women in Games International, and gives great interviews. Enjoy. Read the rest of this entry »
This month I’m thrilled to bring you an interview with Britney K. Brimhall of Himalaya Studios, otherwise known as Anonymous Game Developer #1 of AGD Interactive.

I have been visiting GamingAngels.com for quite a few months, and was impressed by the news and content available to their visitors and community members. When the chance of interviewing the CEO came up, I just knew I had to be the one to do it! It took a while to get hold of each other, but we managed eventually. So without further ado, presenting the Head Angel herself, Trina Schwimmer! Read the rest of this entry »
I recently was given the opportunity to interview Jill Duffy, editor for the Game Career Guide. Her job is to bring guidance and information to aspiring game developers, so if you fall into that category, listen up! Even if you’re not interested in getting into game development, Jill has a lot of interesting things to say about the state of the industry as well as the challenges and rewards of teaching others about it. Enjoy!
I recently interviewed a woman who has a job that I could only dream of having: Sara Grimes has an enviable position as an academic who studies children’s media and technologies, including gaming. She also has a blog, Gamine Expedition. Ms. Grimes’ focus may be on children’s media in particular, but her intelligence and hard work provide vital critiques and some oft-needed appreciation of our much maligned pastime. I enjoyed our interview, especially her answers, as I hope you will. Read the rest of this entry »
I first found Girls Don’t Game several months ago and was immediately drawn in by the depth and variety of posts by the five women who write for it, so I jumped at the chance to interview Monique, founder and administrator of the blog. She offers a unique perspective on video games and the online community, and I hope you enjoy her responses as much as I did.
