Improv with a Twist

The content for the app was inspired by my interest and involvement in improv acting. I've been fascinated by how improv games can quickly turn a room of shy strangers into a room full of laughter and connection. So, improv games became my inspiration when thinking about ways to help people connect without devices.

As for the visuals and illustrations, I started by doodling the blob characters. Then, I used MidJourney to create some more character variations. My goal was to use MidJourney to create illustrations for each game based on my original style. However, it wasn't quite up to the task – turns out, AI still can't quite capture the essence of blob chic!

The Future of Creativity with AI

My journey creating Gamebox has given me a glimpse into a future where our job titles might blur slightly at the edges. Maybe we'll all simply be called 'Creators'. It's the idea that our creativity and determination could outweigh the intricacies of execution. Up until now, I've believed that ideas are cheap, the true value lies in execution. (We've all had a 'killer' idea for a startup or movie, right?!) We may be on the verge of seeing this dynamic turn on its head.

I see the future of AI-powered creativity as definitely thrilling, often terrifying, but ultimately freeing.
Will our creative worth be measured more by the value of our ideas rather than the length of time we spent mastering a technical technique or a piece of software? That's a topic for another discussion!

Next time you're with friends, why not give Gamebox a try and put down your phone? I promise, it's a lot of fun!
