Inspiration

We liked the aesthetic of streaming themed games, and the Jackbox suite, including basic audience participation.

How we built it

We divided ourselves into our game controller, artist, frontend/backend and floating support.

For the tech stack, we used a beautiful combination of everyone's favourite game engine, Unity🎉 and a healthy sprinkle of Python Flask (and straight css/js) to build the game.

Challenges we ran into

We started off trying to have player UI (drawing) on 3DS consoles! But pivoted to Unity for mobile (Android/IOS) due to the long iteration time (long time to build), and lack of debugging tools (and as many errors would just crash the console).

What we learned

Alex: Webapps are actually really cool to work with, especially with API handling within unity, it was great to see it all come together at each major interval.
