This is the closest I’ve been to tears over a video game.
Ryan Green, along with John Larson, set out to develop ThatDragon,Cancer, a game about Ryan Green’s experience with his 5 year old
son, Joel, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It’s a game that’s set to release on Ouya (quite the platform
now, also seeing the release of Thralled) where Green believes that
it’ll be appropriate for a “couch experience” and set the tone to evoke
discussion about dealing with cancer.
Yesterday, Green’s wife wrote
about their trip to Children’s Hospital in San Francisco and beginning the
bereavement process with only expecting one week for Joel to live.
Today, 5 year old Joel has died.
In loving memory of Joel.
