@ZoeQuinnzel I couldn't be more behind this idea. Not the DDR part... The rest.

@SeanTheBaptiste yeah the DDR mechanic would suck tbh but timing is an important part of comedy and I'm trying to figure out how to use that

@ZoeQuinnzel It's timing and also matching material to persona to sell the joke. So many ideas!

@SeanTheBaptiste it'd be kick ass if I actually pull it off

@ZoeQuinnzel @SeanTheBaptiste I know! Colored gems fall down a "joke track" and you must hit the right button as they cross a "punch" line.

@ZoeQuinnzel Not that it's fundamentally different, but: whack-a-mole? Related: what's the structure you're imagining for a "stand up game"?

@SIRrosen yeah I have no idea. I'd like it to be interactive stand up that can be "explored".

@ZoeQuinnzel @SIRrosen stand-up as in "Stand-Up Comedy" or as in "Stand the fuck up, you lazy dork?"

@Megadestructo @sirrosen stand up comedy haha

@ZoeQuinnzel @sirrosen Dialog-trees while telling a joke that go darker or lighter, gauging your audience's moods?

@Megadestructo @sirrosen nonlinear joke construction would be friggin rough

@ZoeQuinnzel @Megadestructo Instead of full lines, could do it as sort of an mad lib: pick the subject and verb, etc etc

@SIRrosen @megadestructo that's the crux of the problem - giving up authorial content for interaction

@ZoeQuinnzel Hopefully that doesn't mean games like Borderlands that say a million jokes at you. So annoying. I should write about that.

@patriciaxh aahdowfhsk I hate most "in game humor". No respect for the art of constructing a joke.

@ZoeQuinnzel @patriciaxh There's no such thing as "jokes".
