Kisah tentang Ayah dan game kehidupan anaknya

Jason Tanz menulis artikel tentang kisah Ryan Green. Ryan Green, bersama rekannya Josh Larson, membuat game yang didekasikan untuk anaknya Joel Green yang menderita kanker.

Joel Green akhirnya meninggal. Ryan tetap meneruskan pembuatan game. Nama game itu adalah That Dragon, Cancer.

Jason Tanz menulis:

"By turning his personal loss into art, Green has also been able to convert his grief into labor. At times, that’s a gift—when he’s designing a landscape or animating a character’s movement, he can almost lose sight of the larger story. But occasionally he’ll be crippled by the enormity of what he’s grappling with. Once, he says, he broke down sobbing while positioning images of himself and Joel on a hospital bed. Cousins, the designer, told me that he sometimes hesitated before sending Green new animations of his son, for fear it might be overwhelming. Larson sometimes has to take extended breaks, particularly when he’s doing speed-runs—high-velocity run-throughs of the entire game—experiencing Joel’s decline over and over again."
