Girls Make Games' BlubBlub: Quest Of The Blob Kickstarter Going After Final Push
Girls Make Games is an organization that sets up programs and camps for young women to develop video games. One of the results of the organization's initiative is BlubBlub: Quest Of The Blob, which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter and is almost to its goal.
You can find out more about BlubBlub: Quest Of The Blob here, and Girls Make Games, the program that lead to the game's creation, here. We also spoke with founder Laila Shabir in the June 2016 issue of Game Informer magazine. The program gives girls, from ages 8-16 in 35 different cities, the necessary tools to learn about and create games. The program takes place in a summer camp setting and is fostered by supporters like Xbox, PopCap, MIT Game Lab, and more.
Among 32 teams working on games, five made it to the finals to pitch their game to judges like David Brevik (Diablo), Anna Kipnis (DoubleFine), and Katie Stone Perez (ID@Xbox). BlubBlub was the winner.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
