Purpose

This blog will serve as a dev timeline for the main site gametje.com. I’ll outline design decisions and give previews of games as they are developed.

New Game - Sync Think

I have been working on a new game that is currently available for Alpha testers. The working title is ‘Sync Think’. The general idea is for players to submit a random word or phrase and then work together to converge on a single word. The faster you match with another player, the more points you’ll score. It is inspired by this improv game called Mind Meld. It is typically only played with two players, but my version supports 2-16 players. When more then 2 people are playing, two words from the myriad of guesses are chosen randomly to be the words for the next “level”. With many people playing, it is possible for some players to match and others not. Once you match, you’ll score points. It continues until everyone has matched or one player is left out. It will also stop after the maximum level has been reached (currently set at 7).
