'Women make awesome games.' This camp is helping them make more.

This year, some GMG students attended camp at the Crystal Dynamics offices in San Mateo. Crystal Dynamics is the current developer of the Tomb Raider franchise, which stars globe-trotting archaeologist Lara Croft, one of gaming's most prominent heroines. Crystal Dynamics studio head Scot Amos described the developer's partnership with GMG as an extension of the company's core values, pointing out that two of Crystal Dynamics' co-founders, Judy Lang and Madeline Canepa, were women. Amos praised GMG as a launchpad for helping budding game creators, especially for those who love games but have no idea how to start making their own.
