Tali'Zorah from the Mass Effect series is one of the finest examples of how to handle character development in a game. Her journey from an awkward and shy but extremely talented engineer to a confident leader for her people is masterfully executed 😄

Esports could see a major demographic shift if developers focused on games for a female audience. But with rising development costs, companies tend to play it safe, and even indie games are lacking. More female-targeted games could ignite competition and bring more women into gaming. Content creators like Marshmella could then rally together to host game jams (games for females by females) and tournaments, creating a smoother entry point for female gamers into esports.

Question for Marshmella
In this community, our tagline is "Reach your impossible." So, what’s something you once thought was out of reach as a female content creator but ended up nailing anyway?

Strong Female Characters in Gaming

Trish Crimson, a protagonist in the Mass Effect series, is known for her strength, courage, and leadership abilities. Ellie Williams from The Last of Us is a powerful and independent character who faces tough challenges in a post-apocalyptic world. Symmetra from Overwatch is renowned for her sniping skills and precision. And Max Caulfield in Life is Strange is a teenager with the power to rewind time, using it to solve problems.
These characters, and many others, have proven that women can be strong and influential figures in the gaming world, and that their stories deserve to be told.

Empowering More Women in Esports

There are many ways we can encourage more women to get involved in esports:

• Providing a safe and supportive environment: The competitive environment in esports should be safe and free from harassment and discrimination, so that women feel comfortable and able to express themselves.
• Breaking stereotypes: We must work to break down stereotypes about female gamers and show that gaming is not just a hobby for men, but a field where everyone can thrive.
• Offering training and development opportunities: Training and development programs for women in esports should be provided to help them develop their skills and achieve their goals.
• Highlighting success stories: The success stories of professional female gamers should be highlighted to serve as role models for the next generation.
• Supporting women's events and competitions: Women's events and competitions in esports should be supported to provide a platform for participants and encourage them to compete.

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these points, or perhaps explore a different aspect of women in gaming?
Here are some possible directions we could take:

• The impact of representation: How does having strong female characters in games influence players, especially young girls?
• The challenges faced by women in esports: What are some of the unique obstacles that women encounter in the gaming industry?
• The role of the gaming community: How can the gaming community create a more inclusive environment for women?

Ada Wong (from Resident Evil), she's always cool :D .

About Esports: first the already profesional players should be asked what are they looking for on games to really motivate them to become profesional on them, and what, on their proffesional opinion are these lacking (so devs could get their ideas).

Second, better money (sponsorships, equpment, hardware,...) prizes.

Third, better support for those that cannot afford the best hardware. For competing you need poweful hardware and "to play games" many families won't allow or cannot afford to buy the lattest or best.
This could be done with "shared" hardware. In example: announce that you are "lending" best hardware to those woman that want to compete but do not have the best of the best; make them a skill test and then lend them the hardware for like 3 months (time enough to get used to the new hardware and improve with it to show their skills). Maybe all that can be streamed or something to get these women their own incomes to actually buy these by themselves.
I think these ideas could make the Esports more atractive for many skillful women :) .

I doubt it but if you want i can be give more details :D ;) .

As a new female gamer, I'm drawn to Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn for her strength and intelligence in a challenging world.
To empower more women in Esports, we need increased visibility of female gamerssupportive communities for practice and skill development,(which you do legion) , better education about Esports career paths, mentorship programs connecting newcomers with experienced women in the industry, and equal opportunities in tournaments and teams. These steps could help create a more inclusive environment that encourages women to pursue Esports professionally.
