@edmondtran.bsky.socialReposted by @saharkin.bsky.socialHey wow it's award-winning journalist @maddie-b-a.bsky.social interrogating the current state of girl games on our cool website
Featuring smart insights from everyone's favourite professional girl game expert, @saharkin.bsky.social!
@saharkin.bsky.socialIt part of a larger RMIT project called "Oral histories of digital design, games, art and architecture: Diversifying the public record." Funded by the ARC LIEF grant: "The Australian Emulation Network Phase 2 - Extending the Reach, (LE2500100051)."
@saharkin.bsky.socialThis is a project looking at feminine tech creativity and tech competency overlooked in histories of games and game cultures. If you have copies or old versions of the cool stuff you made we can even try to image/preserve them at the RMIT Digital Heritage Lab (this an optional).
@saharkin.bsky.socialCome chat with me about feminine computer creativity :) Did you make experimental hobbyist games? Did you mod the sims? Did you make Neopets fan sites? Are you Australian and over 18yo?
