S3E11: Cyrus Nemati<> Vampire Therapists for Self-Reflection on Cognitive Distortions
Manage episode 499994834 series 2943583
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
