"It reminds me of my most cherished conversations with other game makers." - Hayden Scott-Baron, Senior game designer at ustwo Games
Video Game Feelings is an interview podcast about the way video games make us feel, and the reasons we play them. Each week, host Richard Clark speaks to a video game insider to delve into their hearts and minds and discover the various ways video games make us feel. You'll love this series of conversations with video game developers, journalists, and personalities where we explore why open-world games can feel so lonely, why hype can ruin a video game experience, or what video games can teach us about grief.

Amy Green doesn't regret making That Dragon, Cancer. But she doesn't want it to define her life.
Amy Green is a writer and game designer behind That Dragon, Cancer and Area Man Lives.
Note: Toward the end of the interview we should have been using the term "unhoused," or "houseless." Apologies.
Here's some stuff we talked about:
Our Feelings
Phase 10: World Tour makes Amy feel empowered.
Papo and Yo showed Amy that deeply serious, emotional games are possible.
