A parody of red dead redemption inspired by the meme, this will be the definitive bitsy cowboy experience full of quirky encounters, lots of cacti, and goats. 

I might make an instagram for the game, where people could vote on some features. 

Current features:

  a stealth section in a cave full of 'ghosts' 

the of goat-thieving bandits

a time-travelling, crazed scientist,

and much, MUCH more!!

What do you guys think? Should I keep posting updates about development?

Longtime "casual" user of bitsy, I've just come back to the editor after about a year, and I'm having some bugs that I've never encountered before. They're hard to describe but basically the avatar, sprites, items, and tiles, seem to freak out a bit while editing. The changes in the following images are all from just playing the game and then stopping it.  The outer ring here should be my tile, not the items and/or sprites.

I can save the game, re-open the editor and it works fine for a while, but the issue quickly creeps back in.

I'm on a Mac OSC 14.3.1, and have had these errors in both Safari and Firefox.

I'm actually teaching a class where we're using bitsy and my students are having the same problem on Macs (OS unknown off the top of my head) in Safari. 

Any solutions I can offer my class? Thanks!

Is it possible to increase a Variable without any physical intervention by player and his avatar? 

We're working on a game and we're looking to build a timer 🕰️ easily without having to go through the hacks that take up too much of our time. 
Thanks!!!

• Concept: You learn a basic, simplified version of the main Eskimo-Aleut inuit languages (Inupiaq, Inuktitut, Greenlandic, to some extent Yupik) as you go through an rpg-like world set in the polar north. You travel across the territory and end up needing to fend for yourself in a hunter-gatherer scenario like The Long Dark or Survival Kids.
• Game Mechanics: 1) Fighting enemies 2) Trading system 3) Onscreen inventory 4) Day/night or seasonal system 5) vehicle system.
• Estimated Time to Completion: Over a year.
• Bitsy used: Bitsy Color+.

Tutorials made while working on this game thus far:

1. Coding nests in nests
2. Adding more than 3 colors in Bitsy Color

Current Progress:

Basic trading system & setup for how to teach words created.

First scene ("tutorial mode") is finished, code-wise.
Foreign Vocab: Taught "cat, dog, berry, stone, water, key, thanks, it's open, it's closed, the key opened it".
Currently working on the graphics for the first and second scenes.

Current Problems:

Have to color all backgrounds by hand as I could not find any background image insertion tool that works with Bitsy Color or with pre-existing game data. Due to this I need to adjust all my backgrounds to make them extremely reusable while also minimal effort. Need to implement the Permanent Item hack so the player can both get vocab info from ground tiles and still walk on them. Also the Opaque Tile hack so I can have the player go behind items in the background, and make some scenes and background images more highly reusable.

Some image progress (this is me redrawing the bg by hand - i need to go back and simplify the image now):

I finished up my asset pack of 'retro' 8x8px repeating tile patterns: http://8x8.me

There is Bitsy code data that you can copy-and-paste into your projects.

Appreciate any feedback; hope it's useful :-)

Anyway, here it is: https://github.com/matzieq/bitsy-desktop

You can download builds for different platforms under "releases".

It's MIT licensed, like bitsy, so hack away to your heart's content.

And also - I would appreciate if someone told me if I'm wasting my time and nobody would actually use it :D (well, I'd use it, so I guess it's not a total waste).

I am starting on the next iteration, title "I Am Father: The Hunt"

I may post some updates here soon.

I wonder if we should pass around a save file with a bunch of community music in it to act as a music preview/library? Maybe a thread or a google doc? Something for easy listening and copying. Or do people prefer to use hacks to get music files into bitsy?

Seriously feel free to use these! If both of our projects end up having the same music, I won't be mad lol

You'll have to replace the [#] with a number, and you'll have to add line breaks, sorry, there's no way to paste it on these forums without formatting problems :II

I really like Bitsy, I think it's a really cool engine, so I wanted to give it a try and make a game with it myself.

So I premade all my backgrounds because I'm more comfortable working in photoshop and wanted to import everything with Pixsy. I was able to do so, but when I import the new code in Bitsy, it gets incredibly slow. To the point where I simply can't use it :/

I tried waiting a bit for the engine to load everything (when I say a  bit, I mean a couple of hours :D) but no success, unfortunately.

I also tried adding every room one by one, taking it slow, but it doesn't work ether and the backgrounds appear totally messy when I do that.

Maybe that's because my backgrounds are too detailed (they are 128x128 1bit images) , or maybe I have too many backgrounds (there are 24 of them), I don't know, but I would love to know if there's a way to fix that ?

For now, I'm recreating the "Bitsy look" in Gdevelop, but I would prefer working with the real stuff :D

Cheers !
