Summary
Even before its official inception in 2015, her Minneapolis-based gaming company 7 Generation Games was a side hustle focused on developing software and gaming platforms that served the needs of underrepresented populations.
Many of the games from 7 Generation are made for members of Native American tribes that live within the company's surrounding communities across the midwest.
7 Generation mostly works with clients to develop games with specific audiences and subject focuses.
For a licensing fee as low as $20 a month, anyone will be able to design their own games.
If done correctly, 7 Generation Games' plan to open its software so that others can build their own games will help the company fulfill its goal of empowering and educating underserved communities.
Enhancing 7 Generation Games with an AI engine could facilitate intuitive game creation.
With the simple maneuver of incorporating AI into their platform, 7 Generation Games could create a new perception of the company by offering "AI-enabled" products.
