The Myth of Better

When we're making something better for one group, we might be making it worse for another. It's not because 45% of the world are idiots and others are not. It's because "better" is subjective. And the user defines better.

Blazing Her Own Path

Jessica Murrey is someone to watch and pay attention to. She's currently received funding for a graphic-novel style storytelling game called “World Reborn.” In the demo on www.wickedsaints.studio players run through "Pathways" where they are confronted with difficult decisions.

"I’m so excited about is we’re going to create something that’s incredible and something that’s really special that could like not only be entertaining but hopefully move the world. And people are going to see that we did this — a super-diverse team led by two young women.”
