For those who identify as something other than a male, the notion of actually working on developing and producing games is not an easy pathway. While this may be true across the globe, Australian gaming developer Lisy Kane is passionate about changing this perception. The post Empowering women in STEM fields with Lisy Kane appeared first on Stevivor.
It took Lisy Kane a while to finally chase the dream in the games industry, but once she did, what an impact she's had! Lisy discusses her work at League of Geeks, the formation of Girl Geek Academy, and much more in this new episode of Dev Diary.

This week's show is a chat with two of the leading lights from the League of Geeks, co-founder and design director Blake Mizzi and lead producer Lisy Kane. It's a really fun chat with two people I admire a great deal in the local scene and we spend a lot of time talking about the culture they've cultivated at the company as well as how their great game, Armello, has evolved over the years since its launch.The very first time I visited Melbourne's indie game developer hub, The Arcade, a good few years ago I met some of the fine folks from League of Geeks. I always loved their passion for making polished games and their attitude toward building a positive and inclusive company. Blake kicks us off with his thoughts on founding the studio back in 2011.

This week's Game Hugs features the founder of Queerly Represent Me, sessional academic at the University of the Sunshine Coast, and freelance games journalist and columnist Alayna Cole. Alayna joins host Jason Imms for our usual jaunt through the career that has led to her current position in the Australian games industry, as well as something of a rebuttal. In response to Game Hugs Episode 55 with Lisy Kane on the subject of how tertiary education is serving and failing the Australian games industry, Alayna adds her point of view as someone actively working to help her students be the best candidates they can be. So, join us to hear her side of the story, how her work in mapping queer representation in video games has moved from strength to strength, and for a sobering discussion about working a freelance journalist for the enthusiast press.
