Freshness is important. If a game is fresh, new, intriguing, challenging, and enchanting, it will sell, and sell well.

I am most proud of the development of the characters as personalities that game players could relate to and care about.

I had always been intrigued by the emotional aspect of adventure gaming-the fact that people get so personally involved.

I appreciate the sentiment that I am a popular woman in computer gaming circles; but I prefer being thought of as a computer game designer rather than a woman computer game designer. I don't put myself into gender mode when designing a game.

My definition of an adventure game is an interactive story set with puzzles and obstacles to solve and worlds to explore.

Computers have become more friendly, understandable, and lots of years and thought have been put into developing software to convince people that they want and need a computer.

If more women want to be a part of the computer industry today, they have to do more to put themselves there. Nobody is keeping them out.
