Video games are part of our world, and many of us don't even realize how much they can impact our lives. We sat down with Serenity Forge founder Z Yang to chat about what goes into making a video game and why his company puts more into games than a great story and graphics. As parents, we loved learning about how Serenity Forge is creating games that address adolescent mental well-being and real issues faced by teens. Our kids loved learning about free systems they can download to build their own games!

Enjoy this insightful chat with Z about some great new games - The King's Bird, Half Past Fate, and Once Upon a Coma - you can get today at serenityforge.com. They were just one of the tons of amazing vendors we found at Denver Pop Culture Con!
