You do know how boolean values work in binary, right? Zero is “man”, everything non-zero is “woman”. You should be careful with NOT operation in such cases.

Manami Matsumae is probably one of the most famous music designers from the NES era, I don't know if that's what you're interested in. If you have a Capcom game of the time with famously good music, chances are high she was involved.

How did they get those positions, bros? I thought the industry was a misogynistic boys club and was only starting to improve recently

Soyo Oka, music composer for Pilotwings and Sim City.

>>7401954
Agreed. Mega Man 1 seriously has some of the best music in the series. Elec Man has sorely been forgotten, for no reason.

>>7401984
We were talking game DESIGNERS, I think if we were talking composers to somebody would've mentioned Yoko Shimomura.

>>7401978
Of the six western women in the thread, four of them had spouses that were employed at the same company (Linda Currie, Christy Marx, Jane Jensen, Lori Cole), and the other two are trans (Danielle Bunton, Becky Heineman).

Amy Hennig, directed the Legacy of Kain series and a bunch of other stuff. Where is she now since she left Naughty Dog?

Actually based designers, composers, and programmers. Today's fmoid wannabes will never reach the talent of them.

She now writes faggot romance books under the name Eli Easton. And no i'm not making this up. There's loads of them too. Is this even surprising though with the faggotry in Gabriel Knight 2.

Loads of people who worked on early point and click adventure games turned out to be degenerates and/or social justice filth.

>Oldschool female game designers appreciation

She wrote six books in a year, while also working on a game project. Impressive.

Point and clicks in general are probably the worst ever genre of video game. No surprise the genre was mostly dominated by women then.

>>7414459

>>7401259
What a fucking cutie, holy shit. Gingers are too beautiful for this woild.

>>7414459
If you are a brainlet. The worst genre are JRPGs, because they are essentially visual novels for children. P&C adventures at their best have clever puzzles and mature narratives. At their worst you have Lucasarts.

I remember reading a post from Fiona Sperry's blog (back when she had one) about how Criterion had spent a bunch of time and effort on a game that just wasn't coming together as something fun. Eventually, either they got together with their publisher or they just did an internal meeting (I forget which) and finally concluded that it would be better to cancel it rather than continuing to waste resources trying to figure it out. They proceeded to leave the meeting and immediately started brainstorming what would become Burnout 3. Mistakes into miracles.

>>7413229
Somewhere out there are pics of Roberts Williams' tits, I just know it...

>>7414503
Then how come most people would rather drink their own piss than play a point and click these days?

I think people only ever convinced themselves to like P&C games so they could feel smart and as you say yourself "mature".

>>7414503
There are JRPGs with legitimately good gameplay and mechanics that are enjoyable experiences. The same can't ever be said of point and clicks. And the puzzles are never clever, it's obtuse inventory bullshit or moon logic nonsense that requires a guide, and no other genre of game in history has as many ways to permanently ruin your save file. The permanent lockouts alone make Point and Clicks objectively the worst genre of game.

Also the closest thing to a point and click game that has ever been good was Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

>>7415269
>Then how come most people would rather drink their own piss than play a point and click these days?
They are dumb and impatient normies.
>>7415327
>There are JRPGs with legitimately good gameplay and mechanics that are enjoyable experiences.
Name three JRPGs that are both challenging and mature.
> it's obtuse inventory bullshit or moon logic nonsense that requires a guide
Play more. There are dozens of adventure games with logical puzzles.

Made most of Coktel Vision's adventure games.

This game was made only by women.

>>7403234
>Roberta this late in the thread

>>7415269
>than play a point and click these days?
Because beyond few remasters and late sequels to long running series, none are being made for decades, because bunch of corporate hacks declared out of the blue that "P&C don't sell", just like they've declared "RTS don't sell" and "TBS don't sell".

I'm genuinely curious about something:
Did the Williams ever commented on the fate of Sierra after they've cashed-in their shares and left? Or do they simply enjoy their quite lives as low-number millionaires?

ok i'm gonna make a point and click adventure in flash

>>7415758
>>7415758
This argument may have worked back in the early 2000s but if this were the case they should be thriving in the mobile/flash market then, just like RTS and TBS. And those need major investments with 3d graphics, balancing game mechanics, testing and convincing people to put in a few hours initially before games like that become good (notice all the youtubers they have to pay to promote them).

If P&C were any good they would be back with a vengance with the mobile/flash market (which now rivals the traditional game industry for revenue).

>>7415758
Well point and clicks weren't selling.
By the late 90s we had gotten to the point with games that you weren't limited to a JRPG or P&C if you wanted to tell a long complex story with a lot of characters. That's the entire reason the genre was popular and that's the reason it died off when MGS completely blew the top off how you could tell a story in an action game.

>>7415705
Totally would for some reason.

>>7415758
Did you check those statements? Adventure games are in a better state today than in the last 20+ years. Of varying quality, but you can find a fucking lot of them.

Are adventure games a genre for women?

Gp32. Pretty cool device. Mine died and I gutted it. HVwnt used the shell for anything yet. Probably just a pi thing or something.

>>7419921
My sister loves them. I like puzzles tho.

>>7416880
Only partially true. With the exception of Lucasarts, traditional 2D adventure game sales didn't notably decline in the late 90s. What changed was the risk/reward perception.
Sierra did look at MGS, and thought by making their games 3D and action focused they would sell more, but it had the opposite effect. Meanwhile Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail was selling several hundred thousand copies a year, and Broken Sword 1&2 sold 2 million copies by 2001.
While adventure game sales did begin to decline in the early 2000s, even though you still had moderate successes like The Longest Journey and Syberia, it's mainly because all of the respected developers had already switched to consoles at that point (which didn't turn out much better for them).

>>7419734

>>7409623
Pretty based

>>7403234
based creator of kings quest 5

The Core Design team during development of the first Tomb Raider, featuring level designer Heather Gibson front and centre

+ a friendly reminder that the narrative that old-school Lara was just a dumb sex symbol without character is fucking bullshit pushed by Nu-Raider fags trying to discredit old-Lara's genuine feminist message in favour of Nu-Lara's half-assed moviegame bullshit where she isn't even independent and doesn't even develop properly as a character

>>7401241
Why isnt this garbage thread dead? They're all garbage, not one of them developed a good game. Fuck them and everyone of you trannies.

That guy on the right looks like he drops spaghetti often.

>>7415831
I haven't contributed a cent to this, I feel almost Godlike.

>>7423958
He's the guy who came up with the idea for Lara Croft and was apparently super autistic about making sure that they don't over-sex her and that she was portrayed as a strong independent type and was made front-and-center of the game instead of having a male character be selectable etc. So yeah he probably did and Lara was probably just his autistic dream waifu-insert

Again, Asians. There are just too damn much of them, the market is too big not to consider and they don't have the same concept of playing games then we do. Winning at all costs, therefore paying to win is totally acceptable for them over having fun.
