Subathon Manor

About the game

You manage a chaotic content house running one endless subathon. Recruit tiny streamers with big personalities, put them in rooms and keep them rested, and watch their streams bring in viewers, clips and subs, even while you are offline. Every sub adds time to the Subathon Clock. If it hits zero, the house goes dark. Subathon Manor is in development for iPhone and Android. The current version has all of the game's content in, with the production art for the houses, rooms and ten streamers, its own music and sound, and the opening and ending cards. It is still being tested and polished before the stores.

Story

Zap, an over-excited small streamer, starts a subathon in a cramped garage house with one hour on the clock and three viewers, and hires you as the manager. You recruit tiny streamers, build rooms, keep everyone rested and the clock alive, and grow the house into a manor.

Manuscript

1. Three viewers

Night. A small house; one garage window glows magenta and cyan. ZAP: "Okay chat, it's official. The subathon starts… now!"

2. The clock

A golden clock pops up over the house: one hour, live. A sub pops in and adds time. ZAP: "Every sub adds time. If the clock hits zero…"

3. Lights out

The lights cut out for half a second, then come back. ZAP: "…lights out. Nope. Not today."

4. Too much

Noodles boil over, the headset cable is in a knot, empty Fizz cans pile up. Chat: "W", "sleep??", "who's cooking". ZAP: "I can't stream, cook and sleep at the same time. I need a manager."

5. You're hired

Zap turns to the camera and points at you. ZAP: "You. Yes, you. You're hired! The pay is… vibes."

6. One day

The garage house becomes a cutaway dollhouse with empty rooms. On the hill behind it, a huge dark manor with one window flickering on. ZAP: "Today: a garage. One day: Subathon Manor."

Art direction

A tilt-shift toy dollhouse at night: a cutaway manor of lit miniature rooms, magenta and cyan desk glow, gold for the clock and subs, and night blue outside. Chaotic inside the rooms, calm outside.
