## Resource

Every day is a fresh horror in the world of games, but no matter what happens to the “industry,” the art isn’t going away. Where does one find hope? Patrick went shopping for hope at PAX East and came way inspired after chatting with a series of interesting developers, including El Paso, Elsewhere director (and Hellraiser voice actor!!) Xalavier Nelson Jr., Paranormal Activity: Threshold designer Brian Clarke (also responsible for the excellent The Mortuary Assistant), and more. Plus, in a lovely twist, Patrick was able to chat with several developers working on video games who are active parts of the Remap community, too. If that’s not hope, what is?
