A big sheet of paper with random notes and sketches using colored markers scattered haphazardly.
Various ideas are written like "Fire is grid based and spreads :(" and "Questions: real time or turn based?"
Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL -
Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers.
You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.

The only purpose of this new module is to make copies of itself, but I am 100% sure that somebody from the Rogue Voltage community will manage to completely break the game with it. ๐๐๏ธ

Rogue Voltage on Steam
The engineering roguelike. Construct your combos by wiring circuits. Build crazy machines to zap the monsters and trigger satisfying chain reactions.
I had a chance to play through more of Rogue Voltage during my coverage, and it's such a "me" kind of roguelike, but at the same time, it's hard to recommend it for streaming purposes due to how much is going on over the course of a single turn store.steampowered.com/app/1494560/...
