From Mario to Gone Home, video games have explored the concept of love in many different ways. But what happens when love is on the other side of the screen? By drawing on experiences and examples of partnership in life and the creative industry, Claudia Molinari and Matteo Pozzi of We Are Muesli (Cave! Cave! Deus Videt) gave a talk at the GDC Europe 2014 Independent Games Summit about why and how love can impact independent game development in terms of workflow, project management, design choices and reciprocal inspiration. It's a great talk that examines some of the naked truths of working as an indie couple, both within games and without. The free video (embedded above) of "All You Need Is L.O.V.E. - Indie Couples in Game Development" is now available to watch here on the GDC Vault.
