Big Game Hunger

Latest Episodes:

Phil Salvador knows more about Frasier than expected Jan 13, 2025

Show notes

Phil Salvador, the Library Director of the Video Game History Foundation and returning guest, is ready to apply his archiving expertise to the prompts:

taste-o-vision
fourth-wall breaking
QTE

His grounded approach to game preservation keeps Jenna from making a vape game, which is truly for the best. And weirdly, his additional expertise in Frasier finds its own part to play in "Frasier: Dinner Roles." But for the record Jenna still thinks gamer Lik n Dip is a million dollar idea.

Follow Phil Salvador on Bluesky @philsalv.bsky.social, and learn more about the Video Game History Foundation here! Follow them on Bluesky @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social and keep an eye out for their digital library, which will be EXTREMELY cool to dig into!

indie rock
TOUCANS!
Cat tower city builder

They quickly cycle through about a dozen perfect ideas before settling on a cat-tower-builder with musical elements: "Harmony Cafe Sim: Cats vs Toucans." Keep the Toucans and Cats separate while building the biggest and best cat tree this broken down mall has ever seen!

Surreal
dueling tiki bar
Inscrutable, award-winning Eurogame

They pile on mechanics in "Overproof," a game about exploring all the highs and lows of bar ownership.

Hamish Steele defends a love of vampires Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

Hamish Steele, creator of Deadendia and Dead End: Paranormal Park, tries out some variants on the prompts:

sensual
Vampire defense system
point-n-click but you don't have a mouse to point with

We never would have guessed that vampire defense system would have so many possible interpretations, and we explore them all to make "Love at First Bite." A vampire dating game where YOU are the vampire, trying to win over the love and approval of villagers so you can restore your vitality. Maybe love was the drug we needed the whole time?

Joshua Rivera dies of shame Dec 02, 2024

Show notes

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.
