    Mischa Stanton makes Hand (and Foot) of God

    Mischa Stanton makes Hand (and Foot) of God

    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 makes Holley's Trolleys

    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!
    Check out Penny's videos on her SnapCube and SnapCube2 channels, and hop onto a stream on Twitch at SnapsCube!

    Janet Varney makes Eats Beats Groove

    Janet Varney makes Eats Beats Groove

    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!

Wish I could have told you how good it was in person

I actually met Jenna very briefly at ECCC this year before I knew about BGH, and now I’m mad I didn’t know how much I’d like it. I later heard about the show from Jacob Andrews on a stream VOD and proceeded to binge the whole thing. This show is exactly the absurd, sometimes weirdly heartfelt jam I needed this year, and I’m going to insinuate it into car rides with my friends so they get addicted too.

Great concept

I didn’t know this was the show I needed but it’s so fun. Love the creativity that comes through unconventional thinking and the amazing game ideas that come out of it

Walrusman01 ,

A new favorite

Waiting for Garfodot changed me in profound ways, #art if I’ve ever seen it
