Katharine is the industry’s best kept secret and one of the most influential leftists (anarchists?) in the game industry imo
Yeah, and for game research too, she wrote a very important phd thesis on game design tools (among other brilliant stuff she make).
Le dossier cité est tellement bien fait. Il ravive des souvenirs, nombreux. En 2004 je commençais ma (brève) carrière de webdev...
