Today's guests are Wren Brier (Creative Director) and Tim Dawson (Technical Director) at Witch Beam Games in Brisbane, Australia. They created the lovely puzzler Unpacking which was released in 2021. Unpacking is an amazing game and I highly recommend it. You can get Unpacking on PC, Switch, and Xbox. In the episode we will discuss using video games to teach empathy, the technical side of how Unpacking works "under the hood," and much more.
