Hi Kurts Kiwi Friend,
Thanks for the feedback and we are so happy people on the stream enjoyed the idea. Looking back at the comments alongside it had us all smiling.
Our initial idea was to have multiple chats at once, introducing a new chat per level, the levels each to have their own ruleset based on streamer preference. This for the jam was to result in 4 separate chats to manage all with separate actions. We ran into scope and time constraints as everyone does with jams and instead tried to hone in on a short freestyle approach on 1 chat and make it more chaotic. There are a few design flaws in the current build which need rectified to make the experience more chaotic.
We might jump back in and add new features as you suggested our influence originally stemmed from papers please for the choice mechanic and polish it up once the voting ends.
Funny story, the idea came from the initial chat for the GMTK announcement and the chaos that was there when the theme dropped.
