Respawn - Gathering of Game Developers 2016

Games are part of our culture, just like music is. Imagine you express yourself in your games like you would do in a song. Your fears, your hopes, your worries, your sicknesses.
The moment the player dives deep into his very own feelings can be helpful to find and fight his own inner demon.
In other words: Your Game can be the song that helps the player to understand and face his sorrows.
It's something to comfort him. It's something to (in best case) drag him out of his misery. In my talk I'll have a closer look on those "Emotional Games" and maybe we'll find out how to make more "Sung Games".
