Hi on life is now available on Xbox Series X and S Windows PC. It's also part of Game Pass joining me today.

The incredible Justin Royalin who is the creative mind behind this and frankly many other things just and good to see you.

Good to see you. How are you? I am great. First of all, I have to congratulate you because shipping a game is no small feat and as I'm sure you've known you've shipped some in the past but on your latest endeavor.

High on life. Congratulations, man. Congratulations. Thank you. Yeah. No, it's it's it's it's insane.

It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of amazing talented people to do.

Tell me a little bit about the journey here. I mean you you're you're you're such a I mean I hate to say this I don't want to sound like I'm sucking up but you're such a driving force in Hollywood seems like I was looking at all the projects you've been involved with and when do you sleep?

I don't know I get I get away with some some free time and some sleep.

I think the key is just partnering with amazing people. I mean I've said it before you know like and having folks that believe in the vision and get are as excited as you are about it.

That that that that that takes a little bit of the some of the weight off of your shoulders you know trusting those folks.

You know you know you as CEO of Squatch games you you've shipped some other games in the past you trove receives the universe people familiar with that one and so forth.

But what brings you keeps bringing you back to video games. I mean you've got successful television projects that are always happening and and so forth.

Tell me a little bit about video games that just that's just in your psyche.

I yeah I mean I'm I'm I'm a lifelong gamer.

Spent a lot of time.

You know reading the staying up on gaming news and.

But I think it was it was it was it's it initially started with the VR in my obsession with the VR and then halfway through you know trover.

I kind of realized holy I have a game holy heck sorry is that I'm so sorry I'm so sorry.

Oh no oh boy already right out of the gate anyway I was just like wow I have a game studio let's.

And then and then I started thinking you know traditional games and what hasn't been done and what would I want to play.

And that's kind of that's kind of the guiding you know force behind the studio is like what what's what what is an out there that.

That you know I or or the directors are you know like that we would really really want to play and we would really want to exist and then.

For me like I'll poke around I'll ask like is there a game like this do you know of any if there are let me know I'll make my list i'll go play them and if it's if it's not what I kind of.
