Design Process:

   The first thing I did when this game jam started is meet with my team for a brainstorming session after the theme was revealed. The theme was 'Power' and we started by writing out notes and ideas on a Miro board. We had a few different ideas we liked. Ruling over a world as an evil dictator in a giant robot, using optical power to zoom in and out in a puzzle solving game, and bringing inanimate objects to life to escape a dungeon. The idea we ended up settling on was a fast paced hectic management type game where you moderated a live stream chat. The game would involve you searching through a constantly scrolling text chat and taking appropriate action based on a number of growing rules.

   Over the next week we met each evening to work together on the different game systems, playtesting where we could along the way. I ended up creating most of the chat management and moderation function. In the end we were able to finish most all the gameplay elements we had planned and applied a good coat of polish.
