Title: Matchmaker
Post by: lumpley on June 08, 2010, 05:36:56 PM
Elizabeth and I were talking the other night about designing games in our dreams. I designed my game Matchmaker in a dream, all those many years ago, but Elizabeth had never heard of my game Matchmaker.

It's here (http://www.lumpley.com/games/match.html), for those of you who haven't seen it, for those of you who're interested. I designed it in Fall 2002, I think.

Funny story! I was new at the Forge at the time. Paul Czege read it and told me that I should definitely stick around.

Yay, Matchmaker! Thinking back on it, having to guess what the couple is hinting at is so broad and difficult. Having the thing they share be *anything* gives the guessers too much room to guess in. This game falls in interesting lines between party games and jeep.

Oh man, oh man. That is like, the funnier and playable cousin to one of the first games I ever tried to write: Created part one (http://dissolutegames.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/created/) (and two. (http://dissolutegames.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/who-i-wish-you-were/))
