Bit Storm

Ben and Trevor are joined this week by Mitch Loh from the Pixel Sift podcast! We find ourselves in some familiar Lame Storming territory with games set at funerals and involving people in mascot suits - you'll have to listen to find out if that's one game idea or two. We make countless references to B-grade Australian celebrities in a telethon simulation game, and reimagine Horizon: Zero Dawn as a mashup of every Vin Diesel movie ever made.

Pete Curulli from the fantastic Game On Australia podcast joins Ben and Trevor this week in a cavalcade of potty humour and Star Wars jokes. We discover the new ARG for Blizzard's next Overwatch character reveal, re-invent the meaning of 'Season Pass', come up with a bird based MOBA, challenge theme park mascots to hold their pee and re-imagine The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as a fart based game made beautiful by Team Ico . Don't lose any of that StinkMass™!

With the help of Gustav Seymore from Lost Goblin, Trevor and Ben take this week's prompts and turn them into management games involving valet parking, high school relationships and sentient hams, as well as an action adventure game starring a bright and shiny shorts wearing detective, a dark and twisted movie making game and an alternate version of Lost Goblin's 'Goblins of Elderstone' with an elderly protagonist summoning goblins.

Game artist Inge Berman from S1T2 surfs into our special Global Game Jam episode, using this year's theme of 'waves' to buoy our imaginations! The result is wet and foamy, as we invent a VR game starring a dendrophobic lumberjack (with a sweet double axe attack), a meditation game using Nintendo's Wii Fiit Board and Viiitality sensor, and we reinvent Inge's game Kept as a stationery hoarding game with a gnomish protagonist.

Community lead and co-founder of Alta, Justine Colla, joins us this week to invent games about chatting with anthropomorphic ledges, hypnotizing restaurant patrons to get better tips, and giant wrestling goddesses. It's clobberin' time! (That's a wrestling thing, right?)

Game designer Emre Deniz joins us this week, and the result was slightly disturbing. Themes of darkness dominated, with flickering candles and the setting sun giving way to the horrors that lie in the absence of light.

Plus, parties! Food fights and drug filled benders, with messes to be made and cleaned up. Everything is fun in VR!

Rhys Smith of Pine Fire Studios joins Trevor and Ben this week and they delve into some Click Pitch where things quickly get hot and bothered. Games about flames, burlesque and bondage are the result, until things are slightly cooled by a game about lichen trading.
