We're rolling on to episode 11!
And joining us is Cyrus Nemati!
Founder and Creative Director of Little Bat Games, Cyrus wrote, directed and programmed Vampire Therapist, a fully-voiced narrative comedy game about finding purpose when death isn’t a concern. A BAFTA-nominated game and winner of multiple other awards this year already.
In this episode, we explore:
- The journey from political policy to voice acting, games studios, and Cyrus setting up his studio, Little Bat Games
- Vampire Therapist: exploring and learning through a therapeutic process, providing the player the ability to take more of a 3rd person perspective on therapy, and the opportunities to learn about cognitive distortions (with humour and side games included), which can aid in real-life cognitive and emotional reflections and processing.
- A key learning: knowing what the final game looks like before starting the production to work within your resources and limits, because this can lead to creating a multi-award-winning game
