Episode 99

Centaur Gymnast

Ben and Trev reflect on their success in the GMTK game jam, where their narrative-driven game about counting sheep and falling asleep placed in the top 10% for enjoyment and the top 1% for audio. This week, they dive into some wild new concepts:

a heavy, atmospheric journey where a character must transport a single "strongbox" to a new home, navigating the physical and emotional weight of their possessions;

a high-stakes, narrative-driven busking simulator where a struggling artist in a rainy city must analyze the crowd and choose the right songs to survive;

a surreal, high-concept sports game featuring a centaur gymnast competing in a fantasy Olympics, complete with specialized events for various mythical creatures;

and more!

Join Ben and Trev as they explore the intersection of narrative, game design, and the occasional centaur in a leotard.
