I received an e-mail from Square Enix, talking about you and Tomb Raider, so I Googled your name and thats how I found this blog. Your game industry advice is a very interesting read, thank you. You have a direct, no b.s. way of putting things, which I appreciate. As a man, a brother, and a life-long video game fan, I was appalled at the way you (and I can only assume other women) have been treated and talked to. Is this 2012 or 1912? Anyway, thanks again and keep fighting the good fight.

I’ve been researching types of work roles in games and I was torn between (PROGRAMMING & ART) because I like drawing very much and I love 3D modeling, thanks for the tip Meagan.

Hey Meagan, just found this on Gamasutra (they’re “right out of the oven”). Very insightful as well if you ask me. Thought you may want to link them for further reading as an additional resource

Hey Weslley! Depends on what sort of work you’re looking to do! If you wanted to work in brand or community management or the like, you need to have a solid understanding of your franchise. If it’s a more technical position, you can learn as you go, in my opinion!

Tone through and your biography, it’s huge made than Tomb Raider became the engine of
Your passion for the most part the media such as the Comics, Cosplay, Cinema, video games and Art in General.

Lara Croft is the catalyst of all is that your passion then, it’s amazing.

And it is rare to see a woman also passionate for the creative universe, and I find damage that the female artist is not so large, I hope that his is going to change.

In any case I hope that you will remain as passionate it is pleasure see! salvation.

@ Meagan: Thank you for your response. There is a CM that I can talk to, but, I would just get the run around; either a person is good enough to play a certain game that gets attention, or good at other things. So, it wouldn’t really work out well for me. I am just barely branching out, and I have just made one web show with my friend. (can I place the link here, or PM it to you?)

So I need a team to help me out and unfortunately, it is hard for me to assemble a team consisting of an editor, cameraman and host.
