In this week’s episode we talk with Tenderclaws' co-founder and game lead, Samantha Gorman, about their upcoming project, TendAR, which includes an AR pet fish that uses computer vision to feed on people's emotions and the world around it. We discuss how Gorman overcomes AR obstacles by strategizing how to make players return to their app and how they are gamifying short play sessions into a long-form AR narrative.
