Big Game Hunger

Joshua Rivera, freelance entertainment journalist, shows off the breadth of his vocabulary while tackling the prompts:

• waking up hungover after a long night of partying
• Paper-thin App Store money sink
• but it's Aliens (like the movie)

Once they rid themselves of any good, thoughful, fun ideas, they really clear the runway for "Tailor Swift’s 21st era: Xenomorph murder casino," some truly soulless capitalistic slop. But as the great Joshua Rivera once said: We're not here to make art, we're here to make money.

John E Warren, game journalist and creator of VGBees, brings his adjacent knowledge of band management to a folklore-rich crime game based on the prompts:

• 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.

• Reading of a will
• for the PlayDate

In "Yours, Truly," family members must fight for their stake in a vast fortune while they still have a chance to get in on the will.

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?

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!

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,

In between rallying for long-necked dinosuars and theorizing about the heights of future and past peoples, Nick and Jenna make an "Descendents into Madness," where you cannot change history, only chronical it. What went wrong in the future that caused humanity's downfall? Well it certainly wasn't a history book!

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!

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, 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.

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, 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.

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, 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, 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!

Riley MacLeod takes a break from his incredible games journalism to make a game based on the prompts:

• Pampered,
• Tornado Watch,
• Endless runner

After bouncing between a few great options for a game, they land on a new cat-based platforming game. Play as a beautiful chonky cat trying to get to either end of this tornado with slow but steady determination. You can make it, you round plush cat! We believe in you!

Patrick Gill, a talented video essayiest and bonkers livestreamer, joins the podcast to make a nasty brain game with the prompts:

• Horrifying,
• Nobody can discover your recent lottery win,
• Deckbuilder

The resulting brain-reaping game pits your social skills against the people in your small town as you try to keep your terrible secret. Mash up a little old lady's brains to learn kindness, bully some children to learn whimsy, and reap the cashier at the local gas station to learn how to finagle your way out of awkward conversations. Does the local stoner know bluntness? Does the sheriff know prevaricate? Find out in Ill Gotten Brains!

Amy Vorpahl, actress, musician and expert DM, is ready to practice making games with the prompts:

• Ten-minute,
• marching band simulator,
• dating sim

Now it's time for the awkward marching band nerds to strip off their pseudo-military uniforms and reveal their thick buff legs. In Pucker Up and Blow, you'll have a chance to romance a variety of either stacked or charismatic musicians. And if you play your cards and instruments right, you might have a chance at 10 minutes of "Practice"!

Professor Ashley, twitch stream and a literal real professor, challenges Jenna's base concepts about fun, flirting, and composting with the prompts:

• extremely literal
• composting
• weeklong LARP

Together they make an education workshop with structured workshops on composting and a farmer-romancing meta game. But it is NOT a cult. For legal reasons, I must again clarify: it is NOT a cult. Also, whoever keeps track of Bridgerton and Evermore Theme Park mentions on this show, get ready to update, thaaaanks.

Kaylee Rowena, talented comic illustrator and haunted house expert, joins the podcast to make a very pride-ful TTRPG with the prompts:

• underground,
• Local Government drama,
• tongue-based

Taking a cue from Lasers and Feelings, they create the gayest spectrum possible: seduction to inimidation. Play as Chirry Pitt as she gets manipulates the city council from behind the bar. You'll have the strongest tongue in town by the time you've secured garden rights for your town!

TTRPG creator Anica Seelie is gifted three great prompts for their skill set:

• maintaining a eldrich god's slumber
• With a firm but loving grip on these words, Anica and Jenna slowly escalate their ideas until they make a game about continually fucking to appease the eldrich horror Suc'Naath. But don't do too good a job or your partner might experience and ecstasy too loud! Fumble, fool! Fumble!

Mischa Stanton, audio editor extraodinare and beloved Multitude podcaster, gets a very tricky gameplay-type (left by Jacob Geller), but manages to combine it flawlessly with the two other options:

• lazy,
• sims rival,
• kick-punch

They envision a remarkable god-sim game where, aided by many hand-and-footed angels, the player must build up its civilization using the only tools available to God: kick and, yes, punching. But what more do you even need to guide or defend a village? All you need is kick across and punch down!

Penny Olivia Parker aka SnapCube, voice actor, streamer, and all around delightful person, goes deep on some word- and wood-intepretation with the prompts: 

• wooden,
• train,
• game that doesn't use any controller. 

The result is a cute but surprisingly hard-hitting trolley game where you try your best to communicate with the (literal, metaphorical) wooden train conductor who is determined to mow down people tied to the tracks. Only you can stop her! Holley, no! Those people aren't just blocks of wood!

Janet Varney, host of The JV Club and Braving the Elements, has some firm thoughts about argula that she wants to share, provoked by the prompts:

• wacky,
• fast-food tie-in,
• touch-based rhythm game

After some discussion about drumming and fast food griddle work, she and Jenna settle on a game about composing both the perfect sandwich, and the perfect song. Neither is as easy as it seems, but it will at least be fun in this music-looping, food-sampling rhythm game!

• claustraphobic, 
• based on a 2007 reality tv show,
• family sim

After flirting with a pretty banger idea for a Harry Houdini reincarnation reality TV show, they settle on a cubicle-based work-related multiplayer game where you fight through a series of puzzle rooms, like beloved 1997 cult horror hit Cube!

Jacob Geller, a writer who happens to be known for his video essays, joins Jenna to craft up a game based on the prompts:

• sloppy,
• Ides of March,
• fortunetelling

The resulting game is, as you might expect given the sources, a really thought-provoking interrogation of game structures and player-interaction, while also being a hilarious game where you try to make people stab their boss. So what if their boss is Julius Caesar? This game as it all: Pathos! Intrigue! Intestines!

Voice actor and game dev Jacob Burgess joins the pod to crack the exceptionally difficult line up of:

• musical,
• game within a game,
• twin stick shooter

This off-off-off Broadway production company has suffered from more internal drama than is in the script for Les Rizz! And to make matters worse, a swarm of rats has descended on the premises. But as it turns out, a mass of agile, invested rodents might be just the thing this community theater needs to pull off the big show.

• obtuse
• parasite
• FPS

Giovanni Colantonio, journalist at Digital Trends, is the first participant in the Grant Howitt Dagger Dartboard, where a flip of the coin determines if a prompt is replaced by a newer, weirder prompt from a separate list. They ended up with:

• wholesome
• all grapple hooks all the time
• cooking

While making several accidental grapple-based puns, Giovanni and Jenna craft a foraging and cooking game with madcap traversal mechanics, naturally in VR and requiring an intricate and expensive grapple-hook-based peripheral.

• ocean exploration
• last day at camp
• Lucas-Arts point-n-click.

• aunt games
• frogs
• myst-like

• squishy
• werewolves
• visual novel

Eschewing the normal player-romance offerings of visual novels, they craft a game where you matchmake NPCs and solve a dark mystery of your own past, come back to haunt you. Also there are some non-branded Squishmallow integrations that give the game a bit of a texture. A squish texture.

Screenwriter, bookwriter, and criticwriter Karen Han has brought her Marvel's-Midnight-Sun and Pokemon-Cafe-Remix related complaints to the prompts: 

• musical
• cafe sim
• character creator

They brew a heady mix of adorable Pokemon bakers and super crunchy sim aspects like book-balancing and inventory sim. Every year, the Alcremie Awards pass out stars to the best cafes in the world - and you've set your sight on getting one! Require Pokemon employees, and serve up the best light cafe salads to discerning gym leaders to win them over in Pokemon Cafe Life! They did nothing at all with "musical" so it has been added back to the prompt list, don't worry.

Brent Naylor lucked out with some primo prompts:

• parasite
• DnD
• mystery

Then he immediately destroyed the format of this show by perfectly nailing a pitch for a hidden role game where you have to identify the social parasite in a DnD group! Thankfully these fools are pros at bullshitting, and they develop a game where you train yourself to detect AI but figuring out who on a video call isn't a real human.

Alex Jaffe, co-host of Insert Credit and 52 Pickup, starts off strong with some word-play options based on the prompts:

• green
• shark
• godzilla-sim (rampage)

After some great goofs on what "green" could imply, they settle on an anti-golf, pro-green-space game where you play as a shark terrorizing innocent putters. Swim through intricate mini-golf courses to herd golfers into clumps so you can eat as many at once as you can, and be sure to hit a cool flip in the air for bonus points! Play as different species of shark, each with a special power, and customize your fin with unique hat options

Justin Green came here entirely focused on one goal: to make the most scattered and unhinged game premise possible. Thankfully Jenna totally tamed that impulse and they came up with a very normal game about being a good or bad therapist and a pokemon and navigating the American healthcare system and maybe evolving if you are fully cured of your trauma. And all just from the prompts:

• character creator
• boofy
• environment narrative/organizing

Wow! Sounds like everyone was super focused and on-task this episode!

Listen to Justin Green as game master and world builder on Burnt Cook Book Party, a biweekly comedy actual play podcast where four heroes race gainst time to prevent a war... and to prevent a time loop from resetting the whole game! Yes it is as unhinged as this episode is, but in different ways.

In this INAUGURAL episode of Big Game Hunger, Janet Garcia joined Jenna Stoeber in making a video game based on three prompts:

• Video game attached to massive IP
• Childish
• WarioWare mini game collection.

OBVIOUSLY they made a game based on the most massive car-and-family-based IP of all time, Fast & Furious. (Sorry about it, Disney's Cars). The WarioWare mini games are a little trickier to finesse - you need a particular balance of absurdity and cars, which a serious, down-to-earth franchise like Fast & Furious makes difficult. How will they manage!
