    • Subterfuge
    • Local band management sim
    • Okami 2 (folklore-rich zelda-lite)

    Despite the classy and restrained title, "Ballad of the Bands" is a down-and-dirty game about composing the best band.... through whatever means necessary.

  • Amber DaSilva builds a shipyard
    Oct 21 2024

    Amber DaSilva, auto journalist with Jalopnik, is ready to set sail with some very body-horror, Halloween-appropriate prompts:

    • Gooey
    • quorum
    • nautical horror

    With this strong load out, Jenna and Amber make "Vessel," a game about expanding your network of boats and flesh and flesh boats by conquering other ships at sea. Is this the world's first horror MMO? Is this the world's last Snowcrash fan game?

    If you're in NYC, check out out T-Climbing! Also read Amber's work at Jalopnik, even though she didn't plug it.

  • Hunter Donaldson pigeonholes himself
    Oct 14 2024

    Hunter Donaldson, stand up comedian and host of Old Gamer's Almanac, is here today to reinforce his only interested, Twilight Imperium. Thankfully he also had time to make a game based on the prompts:

    • musical
    • claustrophobia
    • takes place on a single screen

    Horror was not explicitly on this list but you better believe we made a horror game anyway. And the worst kind: one you inflict on your friends! This game, I know why the caged bird sing (and it’s scary!), turns karaoke into a shotgun blast of audio memes. Turn it on at your birthday party, lock all the doors and windows, and have a great time!

    Follow Hunter Donaldson on Instagram at HungryHunty, and enjoy his show Old Gamer's Almanac wherever you listen to podcasts!

  • Nick Lives writes dinosaur propaganda
    Oct 7 2024

    Nick Lives, game dev for Night Signals, maker of Home Safety Hotline, brings his horror and HG-Wells related expertise to the prompts:

    • Liliputian,
    • time travel without space travel,
    • text-based,

What went wrong in the future that caused humanity's downfall? Well it certainly wasn't a history book!

    Wishlist Nick's next game, Please Insert Disc, on Steam, and pick up Home Safety Hotline (and its new DLC) while you're there!

  • Clayton Ashley takes a knife to a masterpiece
    Oct 2 2024

    Clayton Ashley, video editor for Polygon and co-host of Temporal Culture War, puts his board gaming skills to work with the prompts:

    • Wontonly colorful,
    • Art restoration,
    • Social deduction (like Werewolf)

    With two options synergizing so much, it isn't hard to find an art angle... but how to include the social deduction aspect? Should this be a physical game or a Jackbox property? And how do we even pitch Jackbox anyway???

    Listen to Clayton's excellent new podcast, Temporal Culture War! It's great!
