Translating the characters and their relationships into video games has been more fun than challenging for Sugar, since they're video-game-inspired to begin with. She explained that it was intuitive to explore them in the language of a game.
"Even just the nature of choosing your party in like an RPG format is so what the show is. I'm really excited that you can play as Greg and Connie and everyone has their own sort of things that they're contributing," she said. "One thing that really excites me about the game also is that the show so often implies that there are many action adventures happening that you don't see, because I like to focus on the character stories, but the game is perfect because you can just go fight stuff, which they always do, but this time you get to see it and participate in it. That's certainly always going on ... I think the other thing that's exciting is by giving you the sort of choice of how you're relating to all the characters, the kind of stories we get to tell on the show become a story you get to tell by playing. I'm lucky that Grumpyface is really interested in finding mechanics that will support the kind of stories I like to tell."
