Reviews

“Not only could “Dev Diary” turn out to be a strong docu-series in its own right — which it will, if the pilot is any indication — but it could also inspire more people to try their hands at creating a video game. That can only be a good thing.”
The Boston Globe

“… the project’s success came down to three factors: Crashlands’ status as a major gaming release that came from a relatively small Midwestern city, Sam’s personal story overcoming a major disease, and the brother’s relationships.”
St. Louis Public Radio

“The greatest strength of the series is the opportunity to see a model example of how important positivity and purpose can be in helping a person endure the arduous journey of treating cancer.”
The Lancet Oncology
