Notes
The Difference Engine Initiative
Started by found CG Edtitor Jim Munroe and Mare Sheppard, The Difference Engine Initiative aims to diversify what kinds of games are made by offering gamemaking incubators for underrepresented groups in the game industry. As part of this, the Hand Eye Society will be running 2 game incubators for women in Toronto and the first will be in August/September.
