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.

Big Game Hunger is a weekly video game podcast where Jenna Stoeber and a guest get three random prompts and have to make the big next game based on them.

Marlowe Dobbe, artist and art director for MegaCrit and lots of other games, knows how to brainstorm like a professional, and you'll see it in action with the prompts:

• 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!

Gabbyyyyy Darienzo, art director and dev of A Mortician's Tale, is ready to add a new layer to her creative themes with the prompts:

• Brutal

• GENDER

Combat? In my fashion game? Slayyyyy, a fashion-rouglike, take the feeling of coveting somebody's beautiful pants to the ultimate end: stealing their legs and putting them where your legs were so that you're now wearing their pants. And that includes anything that comes in the pants - it's a full package!

Alex Van Aken, video producer and creator of Viewpoints, is taking beautiful notes on how best to make a:

• 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. Lean into the theatrical intensity of tiki drinks with unique craft cards, and lure the most customers into your uniquely themed joint. But remember - play with fiery drinks and you might get burned!

Big Game Hunger is a weekly video game podcast where Jenna Stoeber and a guest get three random prompts and have to make the big next game based on them.

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, 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.
