We’re thrilled to announce today that The Indie Houses’ second-ever Steam event is now live! The international publisher collective, comprised of independent publishers, including Akupara Games, Fellow Traveller, Neon Doctrine, Raw Fury, Those Awesome Guys, Toge Productions, and Whitethorn Games, has partnered with Girls Make Games for this event to support the Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund.
From May 25 through May 31, the week-long celebration of women in gaming will highlight over 60 games developed by women-led studios and/or featuring women protagonists. Included from our roster of inclusive, accessible, low-stress games are Beasts of Maravilla Island, Botany Manor, Calico, Princess Farmer, and We Should Talk – each one developed by a women-led development team.
Throughout the event, demos and discounts for a selection of the participating games will be available, as well as a section dedicated to Girls Make Games, the program’s work, and the games girls have created through it.
The Indie Houses Steam Event will also raise money and awareness for the Girls Make Games Scholarship Fund. A portion of the proceeds earned by each publisher during the event will be donated to the GMGSF, which combines professional development and financial support to ensure underrepresented students have the opportunity to access STEAM programs at an early age.
Since 2014, Girls Make Games has created a space for girls and non-binary students to explore and learn about the world of video games through summer camps, workshops and more. To date, over 23,000 girls in nearly 150 cities across 20 countries have participated in its programs. To learn more, visit https://www.gmgsf.org.
