Today, we are celebrating International Women’s Day by highlighting the involvement of all women in arts and sciences. Pictured above are the current women of Timefire. According to surveys conducted by the International Game Development Association (IGDA), women represent less than 30% of the game development workforce. The gender representation statistics for virtual reality development have yet to be published.

We strongly believe in building an inclusive and supportive community, which is why many of us at Timefire have created a Women in Games International (WIGI) chapter locally. There are many other organizations in which you can get involved to support women in game development, virtual reality, programming, technology, etc.

Let us all spend today discussing how to achieve equal representation and celebrating all women around the world.
