Q&A: WOMEN O
Ahead of next month’s Women In Games Annual Conference, Vince Pavey asks a panel of 2023’s award nominees from Keywords Studios about why it is important we keep celebrating the achievements of women in the industry
n March 1st, we held the MCV/ DEVELOP Women in Games Awards, our annual celebration of the amazing
female talent found within the UK games industry. It’s an event which aims not only for these incredible women to inspire both each other and those following in their footsteps, but to encourage them to network and get to know each other professionally. Now that some months have passed, we’ve
checked in with women from Keywords Studios that were shortlisted for the 2023 MCV/ DEVELOP Women in Games Awards, to see how they’re feeling about both their awards nominations earlier in the year, and the state of the industry for women today.
How did it feel to be nominated for a Women in Games Award earlier this year? Charlotte Pook (Electric Square) - Being nominated for this award by Electric Square & Lively was a real privilege. I take a lot of pride in my work, and being formally acknowledged this way was truly special. Being nominated alongside so many amazing women in the industry was a very humbling experience. Louise Andrew (D3T) - I was nominated for it last year, which I was really chuffed about, but unfortunately I didn’t get shortlisted, so I was super happy to have made it to the shortlist this year! It never occurred to me that I might actually win the Career Mentor award! Amazing!
