I have been developing a girls gaming website, it is still in the early stages of development but I am so excited about it I just had to share it with someone.

My Webpage is a website designed for the gaming girl!!! A great place for girls to come and hang with your girlfriends and talk about pc gaming and female gender gaming issues.

Please have a browse around my website. I live for feedback and want to develop this website to meet Girl Gaming needs.

Cause it is all about the Girlz!!

Thank you,
Serrafina

hey... first of all : congrats !!!
is the site only about gaming girlz or also about women in game development ?

[Serrafina]

We have just added a section for game developers :yes:
We think it will be very exciting to see what woman developers have to say about what they do.

[anubis]

indeed... i don't know many. so i'll join your forum to get the experience

So then, would a guys opinion even be relevant?

[Serrafina]

Of course a man's view would be relevant :rolleyes:

All feedback is revelent as far as I am concerned!

Apparently if you play a Windows CD backwards you hear satanic messages. You think that's bad? If you play it forwards it installs Windows!

rofl.. that one hit directly into my heart.

oh, and.. about the *hug*ging around in here.. HEY! stop it!

(i want, too..)

(then again.. thats more a P.M.-story, hehe)

it's a nice page. i know some gamer-girls.. dunno if they will add up there.

i'm still searching for the hobby-programming-girl near me.. *w00t* that would rock, hehe :D

[anubis]

i came to know a few codeing women through university, even linux freaks under them , but i'm still waiting for the game programming type. should i find her i'll reconsider my marriage policy :) (which is not to do it)

Anibus maybe we can find you a programming girl hehe
Things are growing rappidly on the site. We are up to 70+ members and growing daily! Hopefully if I keep posting here we will draw in the developer girl that you all seem to be looking for. It would be really cool to get an opinion from her...the elusive beastess that she is lol

Maybe a man's eyes are more fragile but ouch. You might want to at least consider making an optional toned down on the colors.

@ anubis & dave I hear you guys. I have physically met very few men who actually enjoy programming on their free time and have become good at it. I have never met a woman with these qualities.

All the women near my age (20) I have met have felt that the only thing worth using a computer for more than 20 minutes at a time was the various IM clients unless it is homework. I actively seek out any females in CS department and only one of them has ever written code that was not for an assignment. She wrote a fractal display (which actually was an assignment for a low level course last year). Even she has never written more than that single source file of her own free will.

Maybe I am just bitter, but I will have to see one before I believe that this beastess exists anymore.

wait a sec... so you have met people who didn't enjoy programming at all and became good at it ? sounds like masochism to me...

i invite you to come to my university :)
probably the girls at my univeristy can be lured into game programming... hehe, the plot thickens...

[davepermen]

heh, anubis, i know tons of workers who just work because.. they do. and they get good at it. programming is just another form of work (and can, as any sort of work, be hobby, or even art).

but yes, i know some females who like programming and all that. they have, just as i, not enough time to do much..

[anubis]

huh... i think without passion you will only get so far. you can probably get good at using a language but there is a whole lot more to good programming than just writing code

[davepermen]

you don't need passion to do your job well. you never needed. but it's helpful to an extend.

[NomadRock]

I didn't say they are good at it. Almost every one I know in every major does just enough to get by. I find few people in any major that actually have a passion for what they do, they just do it for the paycheck. Rumors about programmers making a lot of money have lured in a lot of people into computer science with passions as mild as "I want to work in computers because they are fun and I use them a lot."

It is sad, but it is true.

[anubis]

that's a really sag thing... but you are right. i see it in my courses as well. at the beginning of first term we had 400 students now 50% are left and many of them still have no clue about computer science

[davepermen]

does have good sides, too, to not know much programming girls.. imagine your girlfriend would love programming as you do..

you'd never have sex again! and would pm more than talk (except both have a headset :D)


and who would be my cowboy then? :(

[NomadRock]

It's worse to get denied sex because she thinks you use the computer too much. Chicks already pm more than talk but if she was a programmer she would have something else to do while on the computer.
