The game I think most sincerely embodies how a city’s heart is an echo of its residents is a little one-page zine by Beth Jackson called I Went to Bourbon, Indiana Once.
Oh my goodness, Aaron! This is an absolutely amazing, well-detailed, thorough video that's far more than Angel and I ever could've expected. For our game to be part of this video, let alone captured so perfectly (beyond our hopes and dreams), is incredible. We're small creators and watch videos like this about other games, but we never expected one of our creations to be part of something like this! We create with the intention of entertaining others, sure, but our primary goal is to make people think, experience, and embrace the world in a new way. You did such a glorious job of bringing that to life, and made our whole weekend 🙌
Also, I never hit the subscribe button on a creator quicker than that :D
That's really awesome! Honestly the game was initially made with sarcasm. I'm from Chicago originally and small towns are soooooooooooooo not my vibe (I miss public transportation SO much). But then we remade it, Angel added her photography, and it became a half-silly, half-celebration, which I think sits far better with us both.
It's really cool you lived in different parts of Indiana!
huh, i didnt know i lived in bourbon, indiana lmao. if you don't have trinkets, you could use the leg slap & "welp, time to get going" -> stand up -> finally leave midwestern goodbye instead
OMG LOL yes, the leg slap is an iconic piece of midwestern life for sure, and I LOVE this series of three events since, yes, they are almost always very gapped out just like this 🤣

I’m glad you liked it! I lived all around Indiana for about a decade, so games like this have a special place in my heart
