Independent Games Summit: Teabag in First: How 'Thank Goodness You're Here!' Does Comedy

Overview:

Following its late 2024 release, Thank Goodness You're Here! a 'comedy slapformer' has been lauded for both its refreshing absurdity, and density of written and visual gags. In this talk, co-creators Will Todd and James Carbutt dissect the proverbial frog and offer up a formalization of their approach to comedy writing. The duo will lay out their 'funny first' game design process, and illustrate the content production framework that stopped the whole thing bursting at the seams.
