HELPING YOU DESIGN YOUR CHARACTER
Representation matters. It's more important than ever that we see characters who look like us in the films we watch, on the social media feeds we scroll and in the games we play. We need a change: for the 1.3 billion women and young girls who make up the world's gaming community, there is little in the way of realistic representation of and for them in the virtual world.
We've teamed up with the Unreal Engine Education Team at Epic Games, Women in Games and the Centre for Appearance Research to launch 'Real Virtual Beauty Training' to tackle the ongoing issue with representation in gaming. This accredited course empowers creators and offers practical pointers on how to craft more realistic, more authentic, characters and avatars in games - allowing for better and authentic stories to be told.
