Role
I had the inspiration from the game while scratching my friend's back, then I quickly prototyped the game, and launched it in a few months.
The process:
Prototype game mechanics in Unity
Find a bunch of friends to take their back pictures
Record the satisfying voices of these friends saying 'left, right, down, up, ohh yes that's the spot'
Give artistic twists to the friends' backs so they look like multiple people
Find background images online such as: the Whitehouse, International Space Station, on a pizza, so player unlocks locations as they progress.
Find images of scratching tools such as dish sponge, cactus, wooden hand, etc, also for player to unlock
Find sound samples of scratching, chafing, brushing, mostly record them myself.
Have a lot of fun while doing all of these ^_^
