Empowering Excellence: Unveiling the Women-Led Games Showcase and 22 Game-Changing Titles for 2024

The Women-Led Games Showcase kicked off with an hour-long livestream of 22 games coming to PC and consoles. Each one of the games comes from a women-led games studio, and most are targeting a 2024 release window. From the Hollow Knight-looking Aestik and the Japanese countryside-set farming sim Sunnyside to the very creepy-looking Darkwebstreamer and the vampire adventure game Cabernet...

QUEEN BRIDGET VON ASCHEBERG APPRECIATION POST

Why don't we talk about the women who choose their love and their duty together. Why are we not talking about how Bridget was in a hard position because she just got to know her elder brother abandoned the throne, and now she is next in the line, and her grandfather has every hope set on her that she will become the great queen or perhaps has to because she has no choice.

Why don't we talk about how she called Alex Volkov and asked if he could find dirt on the members of the royal parliament (if that is what it is called) and she made it happen, she changed the damn rule about not marrying a commoner.

We should appreciate her because heroes will sacrifice their love for a greater cause isn't that why we love villains, but we always forget that there are women out their who are not the heroes or villains that they are just women and they make it happen because WOMEN CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Bridget Von Ascheberg has all my respect because she chose her kingdom, but she also chose her love, Rhys Larsen.

She knew it. she and Rhys aren't fairytale in happening, but the tragedy is waiting to explode, but she just defused it at the right time.

(p.s.Again, this is just Bridget Von Ascheberg appreciation post. Rhys Larsen had equal contribution, too. Of course he did, but as Bridget was queen in becoming, it was tough call for her and even tougher because she is a woman *society sucks*)

been obsessed with astarion ever since bg3 came out. wanted to play it (in large part) for astarion. admired astarion from afar for months in an non-spoiler free fashion. finally got a ps5 and bg3 with the full intention to romance astarion… cracked as soon as i saw the option to romance shadowheart.

think cannibalism should be a thing in menzoberranzan actually, or maybe it is and I haven’t known about it, but it should be a thing amongst the nobles where they eat rival lolth priestesses since they’re lolth’s fave sacrifices anyway. like if we’re all constantly vying for lolth’s approval, and you have these people who actually has her blessing (which is rare) why not….eat them….😳. like eating the priestess of a rival house would be a ritual after you’ve succeeded in bringing their house down as a way to consume lolth’s blessing, and its def an intimidation tactic and def one of the plenty weird shit nobles have done for the sake of playing their power games. maybe they eat males who are in power too if they’ve overstepped their position to remind them of their place in the hierarchy, or maybe matriarchs/nobles eat their favourite bed mate/partner so no one else can have them, kind of like actual spiders. anyway. if menzoberranzan is this immoral lethal and ruthless place cannibalism should def be a thing lol

There is something wrong with gamers. They made a new quiet place game, and the main character is pregnant and has asthma. Now, Any reasonable person should be able to think about A QUIET PLACE and realize that having asthma is a GAMEPLAY FEATURE they designed FOR GAMEPLAY!!! Like, remember the Amnesia series?

(tangent) Amnesia Rebirth is an entire game where all of the horror is built around that concept from bloodborne where a woman is impregnated (against her will) and is giving birth to a demon basically. also the demon is in her body so shes like possessed and shit. COOL! Pregnancy is amazing for horror!!!!

Asthma? AMAZING for horror where you have to be quiet. it is game design MAGIC and is so cool! they managed to turn their difficulty feature into a diagetic and logical system. like, needing to find refuels for your inhaler is just automatically going to succeed in making scrambling stressful scenarios that will have you shitting the bed.

Remember Amnesia: the bunker? the famously increadable design forces you to put yourself in time scrambles where you know you'll run out of light, you know you need more rations, and you know you're almost out of fuel. Just to EMULATE that franticness and the FLUIDITY and rapid pace of gameplay is an acheivment.

Especially with the rigidity of A quiet place's near parallel world, you can't add too many fantasy elements outside of the apocolypse and the monsters (shreikers?) so turning corruption/insanity/fuel/ammo into Inhalers turns those fantastical, hard to explain systems into something so Inherently realistic and basic, that anyone who picks up the game will be able to understand the objective. V VV You have to breathe -> rasping will get you killed -> use your inhaler-> Uh oh ur out of charges -> you have to go on an adventure and find more -> that means you have to go on a crazy mad dash avoiding making sound and a single error will get you killed -> your getting closed in on OH FUCK THER IT IS -> take your inhaler -> you survived! NOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN What did every youtube comentary slop farm say? OMG? a PREGNAT WOMAN WITH ASTHMA?? thats so UNREALISTIC. SHe would die IMMIDIATELY. Fucking forced diversity! I want to have microphone integration and play as a white guy WAHHHHHHHH!!! I can't critically think for 2 seconds and realise that this game is designed to be realistic, and be a similar experience for all players and alsot to avoid metagaming by just fucking MUTING your mikE. Like they solved a fundamental flaw with an Audio based horror game in such an elegant and story driven way. They aren't even trying to get diversity points. its purely for story and gameplay.

While her husband’s name was the only one on the box—the company crafted a mystique around Scott as a solo adventure-making genius—Alexis contributed to many of the titles Adventure International produced. Some games credit her as co-creator on their title screens, if nowhere else, and one gives her sole billing there: 1979’s Voodoo Castle. A few other women designers had published games by that year, including Carol Shaw at Atari, but Alexis was among the first to receive a visible credit. In a contemporary interview, Scott noted that she built the game “95% on her own” after learning how to use his database system; this also might make her the first nonprogrammer in history to use a domain-specific tool to make a digital game. She dedicated Voodoo Castle “to all moms!” and it featured multiple female characters, including “Medium Maegen,” a hint-dispensing spiritualist named after her daughter—maybe the first woman with dialogue in a video game.

from 50 Years of Text games, discussing Alexis Adams, wife of Scott Adams

I've never played a Scott Adams game. Honestly, I was mostly only familiar with him as an offhand reference, almost a joke, from the old text adventure community.

Back in the time period when I was involved with the yearly IFComp, most games were made with either Inform or TADS (my preference as it was closer to programming languages I was familiar with). There were always a few people who insisted on building their own awkward homebrew engines which lacked the features of the more mature toolsets, and would often be described as "Scott Adams-like", using simple prose and accepting parser commands of only two words at a time, no fluff. At least a few games claimed to be deliberately emulating that style.

Unfamiliar with the name and history, I misunderstood the context and assumed that Scott Adams was some sort of mad auteur, "giftedly bad", deliberately retro or wildly indie, cheerfully releasing games that lacked 'standard' polish and not caring about it because it was fun. I absolutely did not comprehend how old these first games were, nor how important in the history of home computer game sales. And I certainly never heard Alexis' name. Sadly, she's no longer with us.

ITV writer when they (not so accidentally) create abusive male leads and need to back track:

I KNOW! Let's add a track of damsel female lead unjustly suffering so he can rescue her and become a hero again.

ITV writers when they (completely by accident) write a flaw into their female lead:

OOPS! qUICk GET IN THAT FEMALE SUFFERING. hehehe now we never have to deal with pesky *eurgh* female character development.

ITV writer when they need filler episodes to get through a patch of rough TRPs:

Hmmm...shall we add an endless loop of female lead unjustly suffering?

ITV writers when they breath: FEMALE LEAD AND ONLY FEMALE LEAD (NOT OTHER WOMEN IN THE SHOW) S U F F E RING

just finished the Last of Us Part II and I'm in awe at the masterpiece it is. Best game I ever played hands down. This is now next to Detroit: Become Human and L.A. Noire as it changed my life I'm not even kidding.

Oh and Abby's haters are gonna be blocked on sight. You don't fuck with my girl.

[remyfire]

BJ/Peg/Hawk/Trapper/Louise is SO PEAK I'm 100% with you on that one. Imagining the "x has two hands" meme and it's all of them holding hands in a circle. It's what they all deserve but especially Hawkeye.

I’ve been on a hardcore beejtrap kick for days now, so last night I thought too hard about BJ and Trapper sneaking off for some playful, goading, teasing sex, which means that Peg and Louise got to team up and absolutely ruin Hawkeye, and he was the happiest man alive. You’re so right, anon, he deserves that so so much, my god!!!! 😭💕
