jam project
Parenthood
Play as a parent completing chores before the kids return home for supper.
I worked with a seven-person team to create Parenthood for Global Game Jam 2019 around the theme “What Home Means to You.” Players take the role of a parent completing chores before the children return home for supper.
Our larger group brought competing interpretations of the theme and more coordination overhead than my previous jam teams. Keeping the mechanic small enough to finish became the central production lesson, and we successfully delivered a complete submission.
