As games and game creators continue to diversify, we're beginning to see more emergent genres. One genre that has been comparatively unexplored is comedy. Calling on her brief stint as a stand-up comedian and less brief stint as a current comedy game developer, Zoe Quinn looks to examine comedy's role in games, define what a comedy game is, discuss how to tell jokes through mechanics, and explore the unique concerns of developing, testing and marketing a game that uses comedy as its primary ethos.
