Parodie Games, a two-person studio founded a year and a half ago by developers Kaan and Yeet, released their debut title Slots & Diapers on June 3 for PC, Mac, and Linux. In an interview published by Game Spark, the team explained that the game's core idea came from a viral GIF showing elderly people furiously spinning slot machines. The idle game places slot machines in a casino and lets players hire senior gamblers to automate coin collection, with multiple endings that the developers say most players rush toward the bad one on their own.
The interview also revealed that Parodie Games is already working on a follow-up, Scalpers' Spoils, which they said has caught the attention of fans in Japan. The developers cited Gamblers Table and Digseum as key influences on Slots & Diapers.
