Ted Price chats with Matt Nava about Giant Squid's work on ABZÛ and The Pathless, his inspirations as a youth that led him to the VFX industry and his first big break, understanding the difficulties of taking too much on when starting your own studio, establishing a studio culture and dealing with conflict, what being indie means now compared to a decade ago, and how to emphasize elegant design in a full game experience.

Matt Nava is the Founder and Creative Director of Giant Squid which developed ABZÛ and The Pathless. He also previously worked as the Art Director on thatgamecompany's Flower and Journey.
