The Humble Indie Bundle is a great thing; I picked up the latest one even though I won’t be able to play some of the games that interest me until I upgrade my computer.* But has it ever included a game whose lead designer was a woman, or one of whose lead designers was a woman? I can’t think of any, though I might have missed one. In fact, on a trawl through the credits of some of these games, the only woman who is a lead anything of any of the games may be Jenna Sharpe, the voice actress of Aquaria.
This seems like the sort of thought I should tweet to people, if I tweeted.
*That may be a feature, not a bug. That’s also when I’ll get to play Braid, I think.
Aha! Shank was written by Marianne Krawczyk.
Also, praise: The other day, I was looking through the Bundle page to see if there was anything I could play (I seem to get stuck in exactly the same places in Cave Story’s easy mode), and they had added the Bundle 3 games. That was nice. I wound up playing pretty much straight through VVVVVV.
