This week, editor-in-chief Richard Clark and editor Drew Dixon meet up in San Francisco in the midst of the Game Developers Conference. Joined by special guests Josh Larson and Ryan Green, two Christian game developers working on a heart-rending project, they take the time to discuss how they feel about the state of games currently and their future going forward. Special thanks to the GDC volunteer to guarded our secret podcast-recording room after hours so we wouldn\u2019t get kicked out. ;-)<\/p>\n
