This game is inspired by my derive from my neighborhood.


I decided to play in the form of a dog instead of myself because whenever I walk my own dog I am always wondering what he is thinking about and doing.

I used CharNG by plugging in the word “woof woof” and getting this long block of barking; “WOOF WOOF WOF WOOF WOF WOF WOF WOF WOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOOF WOOF WOOF WOOOOOF WOF WOF WOF WOOF WOOF WOOOF WOF WOOF WOF WOOOF WOOOF WOOOOF WOOOOF WOF WOOOF WOOF WOF WOF WOF WOF WOF WOOF WOF WOOOOOF WOOF WOF WOF WOOOOOOF WOF WOF WOOOOOF.. ect”

I them used Googlism for the word squirrel and got “squirrel is it? squirrel is back, squirrel is warm, squirrel is on of my favorites, squirrel is watching you, squirrel is nuts, squirrel is mine, squirrel is sacred.”

I used crowdsourcing by posting on my instagram story asking my friends for dog names, those names are throughout the story.

I was able to use n+7 to scramble the next in the page where the humans are talking and the dog is listening. I put in "I think they are gonna be filming a movie on this block next week, thats what all the signs are from. Some big hollywood production, its going to be very annoying once again. They always rent out their house, I wish they would just stop for a week". And this is what came out of it; "I think they are gonna be filming a name on this book next wildlife, thats what all the sizes are from. Some big hollywood promotion, its going to be very annoying once again. They always request out their idea, I workshop they would just stop for a wildlife.”

Otter.ai was used on one of the first pages where the dog is excited to go out. I said “Walks are my favorite part of the day, I get to go out and smell many many thing and I can even claim my own territory! I also sometimes see my friends! I wonder if I am going to see any today! Hopefully I will be able to! “ and the website thought I said “walked are my part of the day, I go out and smell many, many things and I can even play my own territory. I also sometimes see go my friends. I wonder if I'm go to see any today, hopefully I will be able to.”

I used oblique strategy cards throughout, some of which are “Be extravagant, Mute and continue, Take a break, Be dirty, Retrace your steps”

I used botnik.org / Voicebox - Predictive Writer in the title and got “Explore this wild planet” Finally

I used the anagram generator on the last page of the game with the text “good boy” getting “Body Goo, Boo Dogy. Boy Good, Bod Go Yo, Bog Do Y, Gob Do Yo, Boy Do Go, By Do Goo”
