• Brandon Sheffield kicks his little feetsies
    Sep 16 2024

    Brandon Sheffield, creative director for Demonschool, is ready to hit the pavement in "A long peer at a short walk," a game based on the prompts:

    • self aware
    • not mini games but maxi games
    • foot-based

    After getting VERY distracted talking about VHS tapes on this gaming show, Jenna and Brandon get to work parsing what could make a game "self-aware" and how best to get people to look at their feet a lot.

  • Isabel J. Kim hunts cars by night
    Sep 9 2024

    Isabel J. Kim, attorney, author, podcaster, and sword girl, makes the game "Oil Zone," based on the prompts:

    • Neon,
    • hydraulic,
    • a game that doesn't use a regular controller

    The Mad Max of it all is that you hunt feral AI cars - and other players - at night in order to customize and upgrade your whip. But I hope you have strong arms because you've only got a valve wheel and a hand pump to do it with! STRAP IN FOR A BUMPY RIDE.

  • Geoff Moonen makes magical girls burn out
    Sep 2 2024

    First-time returning guest Geoff Moonen rejoins the show to make "My Magical World Never Went Away," based on the prompts:

    • hyper realistic
    • Magical Girls
    • fist-fighting

    Geoff and Jenna run with a fairly generous understanding of the phrase "hyper realistic," as applying to the magical girl portion and NOT the physics or fist-fighting. Their game undercuts modern dark-retellings of Magical Girl stories and opts for a more relatable story about recovering from burnout and realizing that your past mistakes don't need to define your magical future. Your magical world never went away.... it's right here!

  • Chase Carter makes a multi-dimensional flapping game
    Aug 26 2024

    Chase Carter, games journalist and co-founder of Rascal News, deploys his incredible language skills to make "Flappy Bird: Shifted" with the prompts:

    • ASCII,
    • Supernatural Investigation,
    • Flappy-bird-like

    I hope you're ready for a hard-hitting story about a search for a lost loved one, undertaken entirely by pressing a button to fight gravity. Shift your perspective to find your way through dimensions of text and punctuation in this moving ASCII-art game. This may potentially be the most competent game concept creation to date on this show!

  • Tristan Cooper makes some more great content
    Aug 19 2024

    Tristan Cooper, social media manager for The Verge and Can I Pet The Dog, makes "Stable 4: They Like It!" based on the words:

    • Anachronistic
    • haberdasher
    • Racing Game

    The resulting game leans into the indie game trope of making lots of cute hats for cute animals, using the materials you can scrounge from your trophy wins. And most importantly, the horses love it!

  • Amanda Silberling makes whatever a mail-puss game is, thanks Giovanni
    Aug 12 2024

    Amanda Silberling, tech journalist and podcaster, joins the podcast mostly to dunk on former guest Giovanni Colantonio, but also to brag about going to the Olympics. Inbetween all that, they make the game "Mail-puss," a game based on the prompts:

    • incredibly haunted,
    • Mail-puss,
    • Played secretly at a party or event

    The resulting folk game(s) can be played at any convention, party, or Olympics you're attending! If you're alone, play the name-based Mail-puss. If you have 8 people, then lean into the incredible haunted rumor-mongering version. Fun for all ages and number of players!

  • Lin Codega makes a meta-aggressive TTRPG
    Aug 5 2024

    Lin Codega, games journalist and co-founder of Rascal News, joins the pod to make "Spiral Apotheosis," based on the prompts:

    • Addictive,
    • Last god in the pantheon,
    • Inscrutable, award-winning Eurogame

    Lin, using their expansive knowledge of what makes a TTRPG both award-winning and "Eurogame," lays out the groundwork for a game in which the rules are constantly changing, and both player and Last God are encouraged to be antagonistic with each other. It's just what DnD is doing, writ large!
