Lual has the most incredible story of any game developer I have every spoken too. He has lived a childhood unlike any other person I have met and although we are the same age, his entire world view is entirely different. I loved speaking with Lual to understand his mindset, and how passionate he is about making games that will help change the world. His mission is to help others be more empathetic and learn what it's like living in a refugee camp while helping those in in need at the same time.
