If you're female and read UK:R, chances are you see the funny side of our posts. Chances are equally good that you WON'T see the funny side of Women-Wise.

Women love playing games, including anything from adventure and puzzle games to strategy games and RPGs (role playing games). Some industry sources say that at least half of all "gamers" are female when you factor in those who play on-line games and gender-neutral games like cards, trivia, backgammon, and other board games.

Women Wise(TM) was formed to encourage women to use and create new media with a female perspective. In our programs we take the basic elements of good game design and expand upon it with a female friendly point of view. Our upcoming line-up includes games, interactive stories, enhanced music CDs, and edutainment titles. We know that's a lot of territory to cover!

The Women Wise(TM) line-up of products is a reflection of what women have been telling us, and what men have also indicated, would be great titles to enjoy. Some of our titles are pure fantasy - an escape from busy, demanding lifestyles. Others reflect your interests, dreams, and passions. Topics include rich stories, areas of women's interests, including health and wellness issues, spirituality, sports, women's business, creativity, and, of course, more adventure entertainment.

The first title releasing under the Women Wise(TM) brand is part of a complete digital media entertainment package created especially for women. Along with an ebook novella, The Legend of Lotus Spring(TM) is a CD-ROM entertainment title designed with special attention to what research shows women look for in interface design, story and character creation, and visual treatments in software titles.

Twenty years of bloody struggle by all three women that play proper video games, and then the other eight zillion turn up late to the party only to decide they want to use Yahoo Online Partnership Wist to start a globe-spanning knitting circle, and demand to know WHY THEIR NEEDS AS WOMEN aren't being met by the developers. Not to worry though, we've started work on a chat bot called Nicebloke 1.0 which will keep these old-at-age-24 harridans glued to their chat clients and out of our games for good. Updates on our work will follow.
