Stay ConnectedA comedy game design podcast by two guys who know nothing about comedy nor game design.
Join Trevor Scott and Ben Slinger as they take prompts from random word generators, movies, game titles and more and turn them into occasionally hilarious but always interesting game designs.
Ben and Trevor carelessly muck around with the lockdown rules they have previously used, producing games like:
Trevor and Ben chain themselves down again in another lockdown episode, where this week's constraints give them:
a game where Snow White's dwarves ride woodland creatures into battle;
a building clearing roguelike set in a sector of a dystopic futuristic city;
a bumbling hippie and his sea lion friend solving mysteries on an oil rig;
a space convict finds himself on a mysteriously terraformed Mars;
a hidden heir finds herself in the big city for the first time;
and more!
Ben and Trevor return to lockdown and discuss some video game ideas, such as:
Ben and Trevor apply the lessons learned from their podcast punch-up with Alex Krause, and the three of them blast forth some video game ideas, such as:

With lockdown 6.0 taking over Melbourne, Ben and Trevor limit the main character in their game designs to a 2x2 metre square area.
Puppets and centaurs and demons, oh my!
Join Ben and Trevor as they randomly generate some fun adventure games this week, including a man selling his soul for a beer, a human chosen to be the ceremonial prophet of an alien race, a modern day coliseum where you can sell action figures of your top fighters, and an imagined sequel to the classic film Labyrinth where Bowie's Jareth is missing and there is a new Goblin Queen!
In our second lockdown special where we constrain our games to take place in a restricted physical space, we once again manage to go deep on an interesting concept, this time working in a radio station in the 80s. Before we get there though, we also find an engineer attempting to gain control over a rampaging robot from his apartment, and a bachelorette party going awry in a bar.
In a locked down Bit Storm special episode, Ben and Trevor discuss games with the theme of being in a single location.
All these games and more are discussed by Ben and Trev this week.
This week, Ben and Trevor write games such as:
A team based multiplayer competition to see who can scavenge the parts to build a rocket and see the curvature of the Earth (or not see it?);
A Mimic from Dungeons and Dragons finds themselves in modern day, trying to survive;
A point and click adventure exploring the harrowing life of a gig economy delivery driver during the oncoming climate disaster;
a third Portal game, where the main mechanic involves herding cows;
and more!
