Over the last two decades, video games have grown into a major international creative technology industry that by many metrics outsell both music and film. Despite this mainstreaming of digital play, the workforce associated with its production remains homogenous and exclusionary. Interventions aimed at addressing imbalances in representation in games have been established in several countries, but there has been little assessment of their impacts for creating change in those industries nor reflection on how to communicate these outcomes. This SSHRC Partnership Engage-funded project explores the evaluation and communication of the outcomes of feminist action via a data visualization tool intended to interactively, accessibility, and safely convey the impact of inclusion in digital games.
