Several moons ago I was able to meet Lisette Titre-Montgomery who has worked in an industry which was parallel to the industry I started my career. This event or choice meeting was at GDC(IGDF) Blacks In Gaming event. At the time I never really considered the magnitude that this meeting held, as the idea of being a black person in the gaming arena and creating a game was lost on me even though I had recently created a game which is a tale for another day. Regardless of the fact being black is one thing but being a woman is another and I believe she had her hurdles to cross as those are hurdles regardless of the skills you have. Those are apparent things that many think are not there but sometimes you have to push past that and endure and make it to the end of the road. It’s a stigma that blacks are not capable of certain levels due to the negative cogitation brought about by the media and our fellow man or woman.

Ms. Titre’s passion is publicly advocating for game-based educational curriculum designed to expose under-served youth to careers in technology. Lisette has been a keynote speaker at N.A.S.A., Intel, and the San Francisco Environmental Protection Agency. She has also been featured on NPR and in the New York Times.

Just look at this awesomeness, there is a place for 2d styled games even when there are others that think differently.

The world has been corrupted with dust and filth, and it’s up to a handful of acrobatic janitors to win the war on grime. In this frenetic, award-winning platformer by Hitbox Team, sweep your way through over fifty levels of wall rebounding, double jumping endurance runs where finesse matters as much as dust destruction. Vault your brooms even higher as you share and view replays online to compete for the ultimate speed runs, and watch as your dustpan runneth over when you build your own worlds and share them online with the included map editor.

Dustforce was the winner of the $100,000 Grand Prize at Game Developers Conference Online’s third Independent Game Developers Competition in 2010.
