◆ BIRTHDAYCADE ◆

Design Your
Kid's Own Game

Takes about 3 minutes.

What this actually is: I'm testing two things before I build a real business around this: (1) would people actually pay for a custom video game as a birthday gift, where their kid is the creative director — their ideas shape the character, world, and goal — and (2) can I actually turn a form like this into a game that's worth that money. If you fill this out, I will build a real, working game from your answers — no charge, this round. Once it's done, I'll ask you honestly: was it worth paying for?

You can see the kind of thing I mean — games I've made for my own kids — at johnkpaul.com/paulfamilygames.

This is only going out to family & friends for now. Answer for real — the more honest your answers (and your verdict afterward), the more useful this is to me.
