Google Changes The Game
Google quietly launched an initiative to help women developers back in December 2017. A little too quietly, as we never even heard of or don't recall hearing of it. So we'd like to make sure these next generation young women get the recognition they deserve for creating and launching their first indie games. And Really, Google ?
