"It was a normal day by GenghisCon standards, or at least apparently so. Yet something felt off, as if a subtle madness had infected the world, rendering it slightly less than real. You were in the corridor chatting with friends when the wrongness intensified. Your mind felt like an enormous pressure was pushing on it. With a sudden metaphysical snap, your mind seemed to rotate in a dimension you had never suspected existed. At once, you began to see into other realities. You see dragons, wizards, and vast spaceships. If you wish to remain anchored to your existing reality, turn to page 2, or...

" Come together and create a game together. No existing skills are required. With all our skill levels together, 

create a game with a writing style as fractured as the worlds in which the game is set. Do any of the below that suit your fancy: - Brainstorm the story's overall structure and paths the Player can take. - Write a page fleshing out a node in the player's journey. - Write a self-insert. Dragons and Space Battles sound dangerous. The Player may prefer to chat with you. - Take photos. Part of the story takes place in GenghisCon, so you could take photos to illustrate those parts. Remember to get permission before taking pictures of people. - Find appropriate Creative Commons images to illustrate the game. - Draw your own images. (Skill is great, but if you feel you can't contribute, look at the art style of the game https://www.kingdomofloathing.com ...) - Use Version Contol software (GitHub) to manage versions of the game. - Manage Discord Server to submit content and discuss. - Show off your technical wizardry. Given time constraints we *hope* to produce a simple small game based on plain text, pencil sketches and downloaded images. But you are welcome to try to create a masterpiece of technology if you want. Client-side JavaScript would be an obvious choice. - Put down your pencil at the end of the workshop(s), or keep in contact during GenghisCon to finish off the game. - Present the game at the closing ceremony.
