The story of BeFunnyNow's development shows why this party game is a cut above other YouTuber video games.
Most answer-based party games like the Jackbox series or What the Dub let players hide behind anonymity when submitting their answers. They only reveal who made each risqué joke after winning a matchup. Jack Douglass, a YouTuber named Jacksfilms who self-funded and developed a competitive party game, doesn’t want players to hide behind their terrible answers in Be Funny Now!
After learning how Jacksfilms made this game as a YouTuber turned first-time developer and after playing matches with people, including Douglass himself, Be Funny Now! has proven itself a unique take on the competitive party game that’s as much about the people playing as it is the answers themselves.
The YouTuber pitched the idea to multiple game developers and ultimately decided on working with Galvanic Games, developer of Cyanide & Happiness’ battle royale game Rapture Rejects. Shockingly, Galvanic actually believed a battle royale format wouldn’t be the best approach for Be Funny Now!Instead, the team recommended the max player count be lowered to eight so the game wouldn’t have to rely on having a large player base to be functional or resort to using bots to fill empty slots.
Overall, Douglass seems delighted with Galvanic and the game development process. However, he was surprised at how long seemingly simple things took or how beta testing revealed brilliant ideas that he never even thought of during development, like a round counter. As I played with Douglass, we laughed at and discussed each other’s jokes as they appeared. One highlight came when I referenced SEO when describing Google in four words, which Jacksfilms described as “a thinking man’s answer.” We weren’t hiding behind our answers, and that just added to the fun. I saw off-the-cuff jokes from one of my favorite comedy YouTubers, and I even got him to laugh at a couple of my own gags.
