Slant Six Games is a studio recognized for mature-themed titles. Our challenge: to create a fun tablet game for young children. We made Max's Pirate Planet -- A Board Game Adventure and along the way discovered that what we considered "fun" and what kids consider "fun" may be two different things. Learn how we embraced, nurtured and re-connected with our inner child to make a compelling game through observation, psychology and the release of inhibitions.
