After experiencing a major health scare during his early college years, Z found himself seeking solace and companionship within the virtual worlds of video games during his hospital stay. It was during this challenging period that an idea took root: "What if video games could be intentionally designed to help others, just as they had helped me?" This epiphany marked the inception of Serenity Forge, a company dedicated to crafting video games with a purpose, games that could touch the lives of players in profound and meaningful ways. Throughout the episode, Dr. Jim Hoven and Z delve into a wide array of topics, from the transformative potential of video games to the role of technology in enhancing human experiences. They explore the concept of leveraging the resources at your disposal to make a positive impact and how it's never too late to chase your dreams, no matter the hurdles life may throw your way. Prepare to be inspired as you discover the incredible journey of Z and his mission to use video games as a force for good. This conversation is a testament to the boundless possibilities that lie at the intersection of passion, technology, and the human spirit.

This week we played Homestead Arcana by: Serenity Forge. Homestead Arcana is a third person farming sim where you play a young witch who is tasked with trying to fight back an evil fog with farming. Grow various crops and brew spells to take with you as you explore the evil miasma for more treasure. Sort of uncover the mystery behind the fog with a very convoluted story, but hey at least you got a really cool talking cat named Huckleberry.

A small team from game development and publishing company Serenity Forge started out with a great idea for a Playdate-specific game, but soon realized its characters were kind of… boring. One arctic facelift and a lot of QA and play-testing later, and Flipper Lifter was a fun and fast-paced penguin-moving game (with a few key voiceover cameos and a great soundtrack)!

We have a very special one coming at you today, folks. The truly delightful Jess Marchbank joins us from the All-Options Pregnancy Resource Center to tackle a set of bundle games. You might recognize this important foundation as a cause from a previous episode: we donated to them way back on Episode #11. We thought it would be lovely to have someone from All-Options on the podcast, and lo and behold, some 54 episodes later, Jess met us at the Bundle Buddies HQ. And how lucky were we! We discuss classic games of old like The Hunt for the Wumpus, the "good Gap cologne", audiobook narration, and so much more.  We also take a moment to discuss the important work All-Options is doing, as well as the Hoosier Abortion Fund Fund-a-Thon, which kicks off in a few days, on April 1st. All-Options is looking to raise $35k for this crucial cause, so let's do what we can to help them get there. More information about how to contribute and participate is available at the campaign webpage.  It's also worth mentioning that Jess isn't just a rock star who devotes her life to an important cause -- she's also a talented voice actor who lends her sonorous pipes to audiobooks, video games, and more. Here's what we played this week: Orison of Mercury, by dualhammers Jabberwocky, by python-b5 Four Sided Fantasy, by Serenity Forge

Today’s guest on the “Phil with Forbes 30” podcast is Zhenghua Yang – Founder of Serenity Forge Forbes List: USA Year: 2020 Category: Games Can you imagine suddenly getting sick and being told you will probably die within hours? You survive and stay in a hospital as every experimental method is thrown at your body to save your life for an illness not identified. You slowly recuperate, continue working at the Federal Reserve and go to college simultaneously. You have lunch with then Chairman of the Federal Reserve Dr. Ben Bernanke, save someone’s life with a computer game you created, get validation on another game from both Bill Nye the Science Guy and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. My guest, Zhenghua Yang did all this before graduating college!   His story of starting his game development and publishing studio called, “Serenity Forge” is as unique as its purpose of creating games that are a vital part of art, culture and education. The studio released its critically acclaimed titles “Where the Water Tastes Like Wine” in 2018, as well as “Lifeless Planet” in 2014, which sold more than a half million copies. His team just launched the new psychological adventure game “Neversong,” which is on Apple Arcade, Steam and consoles. The projected revenue for the studio’s games for good are projected to reach $1.2 million in revenues this year. Zhenghua and I spoke about how his life and death moments as a young man, continues to influence all of his work and life philosophy. And we discussed all the misconceptions of the game industry, which is an-eye opener. I hope you enjoy and learn from Zhenghua’s journey to personal contentment and financial success as much as I have. It’s an incredible story. Check out his new game: “NeverSong” on Apple Arcade, Steam, and Consoles. “Under 30 Seconds Round” 1. What is the book you’ve gifted more often than any other book, and why? The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor. That book changed my life. 2. What’s one of the best investments and one of the worst investments you’ve ever made and why? Best - There are specific people that I work with today that are just so pivotal to where we are right now as certainly forward.  Worst - I drank the Kool Aid and made bitcoin investments at its height. 3. What’s the most impactful thing you do in your Morning routine and most impactful thing you do in your Evening routine? AM - I host a little mini Chinese tea ceremony for myself to clear my mind and get the day going. PM - I pull up some kind of mobile game and just play in bed and then fall asleep to it. I don’t recommend that to everyone listening. 4. Pretend you won the Peter Thiel Fellowship and you were going to get money to start a business instead of go to college, what’s the very first thing you’d do to start a new business? I would make sure I build lifelong work relationships. That's how you really find success in today's corporate world. 5. What’s something you never knew you needed?

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.

Hello folks! For July we played Where the Water Tastes Like Wine from developers at Dim Bulb Games and Serenity Forge, published by Good Shepherd Entertainment.

Today we are joined by Z Yang of Serenity Forge, a company that seeks to create meaningful video games that challenge the way you think. Z Yang built his first computer when he was six years old and designed his first video game when he was 10. He was always interested in video game design, and when Z was 18 he was diagnosed with a rare disease that put him in the hospital for two years. Z says himself that video games saved his life, allowing him to feel successful and giving him a community filled with support. Recognizing that video games helped him, he wondered what could be done if games were specifically designed to help the people playing them. This led to what is now Serenity Forge, a company creating video games for good.

Making and playing games saved Zhengua Yang's life, and took him on a miraculous journey in becoming the owner of Serenity Forge studios is Denver, CO.

What is going on Longbox listeners!! Episode 79 comes from Juan's nerd'cave!! Our #popcultureclassic for this show is the 2004, Shane Carruth movie, Primer!! We visit the future, about two days, and tell you all about this crazy movie! This is a time travel movie. Less about the actual time travel machine, and much more about the process itself. Though this might be the most confusing, and convoluted time travel movie out there! See what we think! Our interview comes by way of video game designer, Ben Wander! Ben has worked, through our friends at Serenity Forge, on the game "A Case of Distrust." "A Case of Distrust is a narrative mystery from 1924 San Francisco. Play as private investigator Phyllis Cadence Malone in this historical 2D adventure game. Explore underground speakeasies, smoke-filled billiard halls, classic barber shops, and more. Catch suspects in lies by using evidence, statements, and your wits. Intrinsic challenges face our heroine, as she struggles against a pushback on emancipation, leading to many doubts, both internal and external. Uncover the truth in a mystery full of deception!" Remember, you can ALWAYS let us know what you think!
