Brenda Laurel is best known for her work with Purple Moon, the
pioneering game company she cofounded in the 1990s. Purple Moon's
games were based on years of research Laurel completed in an effort
to understand why computer games seemed to be of so little interest
to girls. Using diverse archival sources such as trade journals,
newspapers, and recorded interviews, alongside Laurel's completed
games and own writings and an original interview with Laurel
herself, this volume offers insight into both the early development
of the games for girls movement of the 1990s and the lasting impact
of Laurel's game design breakthroughs. In her work with Purple
Moon, Laurel drew on her background in theatre as well as her
expertise in human computer interaction and qualitative research.
By relying on this interdisciplinary background, Laurel made
significant contributions to our understanding of the design and
development of games as a medium for emotional rehearsal and
storytelling. Additionally, her dedication to research-informed
design has had a longstanding impact as companies and designers
increasingly rely on audience research and metrics to shape their
practices. The newest in Bloomsbury's Influential Video Game
Designers series, Carly Kocurek highlights the contributions of a
designer whose work has had a profound impact on the development of
both games for girls and empathy games.
