Award-winning game designer, Robin Hunicke, joins UC Santa Cruz faculty
Personally, I can’t hear enough about women in game dev. Robin is probably best known for her work on Thatgamecompany’s award-winning Journey, but is also the co-founder and CEO of Funomena and an evangelist for diversity of thought and participation in game design and game culture. She joins names such as Michael Mateas and Brenda and John Romero on the UCSC games faculty roster. Can’t wait to see what her students create.
