Indie Developer Building Game Completely Out of YouTube Comment Suggestions

The small YouTube Gaming Channel, Reality Trolls, has started a rather interesting indie development experiment. About a month ago, artist and developer Shoichimen Izumi posted a video on their channel discussing a 2-D platforming engine he built in Construct. After getting the basic engine in place he is now building the mechanics of the game solely on what people post in the YouTube comments of each update video. This is such an interesting idea for a game, and I can't wait to see what their community builds together. So far there have been three updates to the game, and you can download and play it at any time for free. If you've ever had a good idea for a mechanic in a game but lack the coding skills to build it yourself, this is an opportunity to see what it might be like.
