Brent Naylor makes TuringQuest

Petrana Radulovic, media and fan culture writer, joins Jenna to create an environment that is SO toxic, using the prompts:

• mom game
• baby-raising
• racing

So you can tell where on the spreadsheet all of the mom-uncle-aunt games were clustered! They run with the idea of a deeply competitive online horse-rearing game, where you have to find, catch, and breed horses to be the fastest and most beautiful. And not just horses! Pegasus, kelpies, and more. Use your charm and shiny red apples to steal your neighbor's horse, and compete tooth-and-nail for the ultimate prize: the HORSE TIARA.

Kelsey Lewin, writer, podcaster, and co-owner of Pink Gorilla Games, joins the show to finally make a game that your aunt is going to love! She and Jenna turn the prompts:

• aunt games
• frogs
• myst-like

into a game about kissing frogs to turn them into other animals, and then using those animals to solve PUZZLES. Kyst indulges all the things we liked about Myst: cool photo graphics, loneliness, and puzzles that we were too young to figure out.

Allegra Frank, renowned journalist, critic, and oreo connoisseur, joins Jenna to craft an adorable, hard-hitting game with the prompts:

• 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.

Turns out, love was the greatest mystery of all.

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.

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

Dr. Moiya McTier, host of Exolore and Pale Blue Pod, joins Jenna to make a 2-player Unraveled-alike game based on the worldbuilding they did on the most recent episode of Exolore. You don't have to listen to that first, but it will help!

This craft-based world is entirely self-contained, and features both organic beetles and craft-based automatons. With that core concept, they use the word Anarchy to develop a truly delighful platforming game with collectible stained-glass puzzle pieces, kniting minigames, and an educational mode where you can really learn to craft!

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.
