Game designer Theresa Duncan, creator of acclaimed girls' games like Chop Suey, died earlier this month. I didn't know Theresa or play her games, but they had a dramatic impact on some people, including Jenn Frank, who wrote a touching eulogy on her blog.
And I had this idea pent up inside me when I was 15 that I wouldn't be Roberta Williams, I wouldn't
be Jane Jensen, someday I could fashion myself into a Theresa Duncan, and make unbelievably edgy punkass art games, every one a love letter to my own younger self and to the things I had loved and to the things that, in my own childhood, I'd missed out on.
I can't really add anything else.
