Hello I'm Earthan Huq, I'm a game design student at Hostos CUNY, with instructors Marcello D. Viana Neto and Matthew Baloušek. Marcello has us making Bitsy games for our 101 final project.
I've come here to ask a very specific question regarding bitsy logic, but I imagine I will have more questions before this project is completed. Sad to learn I missed the Discord entirely.
Hi. I'm mainly using Bitsy (and Bitsy offshoots) to make short educational games that teach languages. My dream would be to make games that get you from 0 to fluent in a language without feeling like it took effort. There are a lot of so-called "educational games" out there that are really just a flashcard system under a thin veil, I would like to help change that. I would also like to make games (not necessarily educational) in minority languages for which few to no games exist.
Bitsy is great because you can program a whole game in it with only extremely basic coding knowledge - I have studied BASIC but not Javascript, the in-game Bitsy coding is similar to BASIC.
Hi, I'm Voln! I like fiddling with bitsy from time to time, and recently started looking more into the hacks. I'm currently working on a bitsy 3d project, and I would like to make something using the sokoban hack, which I found here: https://github.com/seleb/bitsy-hacks
So far, I haven't been able to get the sokoban hack to work, but I think I just need to do more reading to make sure I really understand everything.
Hi, i’m RomanS - founder of the www.espboy.com project. Developing various software for ESPboy I managed to achieve emulation of different platforms, including relatively little known but interesting ones - Arduboy, Gamebuino, Pokitto, Chip8/Schip... Having come across bitsy on the Internet I was amazed by its brevity and elegance and was quite surprised by the huge number of games made on this platform. Of course I have Bitsy support in my development list for ESPboy. I think it's great to be able to run these great games on a tiny handheld device.)
Hello, I’m Ansel and I’m new to game development. I’m a hobby artist primarily working in comics, but recently started pursuing an interest in games and Bitsy has been a great resource for learning some hands-on game design without having to leap right into code. I very much appreciate the work and care put into it!
Hi hello! I'm CandleSign - not exactly a gamedev or anything, even if I like to imagine projects I haven't officially released anything before, but I just really love coding (so much that I almost never use premade drag-and-drop/point-and-click engines but bitsy is lovely) and making music. I also love art in general (and in particular games and music which, yeah, checks out haha).
I'm not sure how much time I'll spend doing bitsy stuff but now that I've gotten dragged into the jam (shoot! I was supposed to be busy!) I'm growing quite fond of the whole thing. Also I initially learnt about it from Pol Clarissou's moss as texture as space folding onto itself (lovely game! check it out!) but have found a few more I really like so I'll keep exploring. I can't wait to see what you all have made :>
Hi, I'm Chris, releasing stuff as Eldritch Renaissance Cake. I do music, game dev, and pixel art as hobbies, particularly in the indie and small games sphere... so bitsy seemed like a logical fit! I just used bitsy for the first time for a game jam last weekend ("Music of the Night" - on my itch page). I'm glad to find this place as a resource to search for answers to questions. And it's cool to read about others here and see what people are making ❤
Hello! I'm WitchWhale! I used to be very into coding but it gradually dropped off my list of hobbies. I want to get into game making again and even though I have only made one Bitsy game before, this game engine has begun dragging me back to my forgotten passion
I've started working on a Bitsy game and hope to share it when its finished!
hey everyone - i'm rob/bclikesyou. i've released multiple games using Construct 2/3 and currently work as a producer on subnautica 2. found out about bitsy via playdate's pulp and it seems like exactly the type of engine i need right now. i've become really interested in just focusing on narrative and art in my games. and i really dig the community around it!
Hello, My name is Germán. I am indie game developer, and app professional translator (Eng/Rus--> Spanish). I found bitsy and i was wondering if you need help in the translation of the game engine. I will be glad to help with it. If there is documentation i can translate it too. So. in less words i want to help. If someone is interested in game engine translation, concact me too. And for the end and not for less... i love bitsy. Long live Bitsy.
Hellooooo! I'm Luis, and I like making games in small game engines. I started with pulp (play.date) and I then discovered Bitsy! And so, I thought, what if I did a game for each item on this list (https://gist.github.com/le-doux/3ae97d4bfc21ea3db6c87b29bf6c0bdc)? And so I am in this quest! I hope I'll finish the challenge....
Hola! Me llamo Rena (apodo). Encontré Bitsy por casualidad al apoyar un bundle de No ICE in Minnesota y me llamó la atención un jueguito que probé. De ahí empecé a tirar del hilo y lo descubrí .
Siempre me ha llamado la atención crear videojuegos, teniendo en cuenta que detesto profundamente el backend y programar (y eso que trabajo como frontend). Hace muchos años probé Twine, otra herramienta sencilla para crear novelas visuales. De Bitsy me gustó la idea de algo simple y sencillo que permitiera contar historias de algún modo. Estoy deseando seguir curioseando y probar juegos de otras personas para empaparme de lo que saben.
Greetings!
I'm just a little alien boy trying to survive. I love playing indie games and am making an attempt to try my hand at game creation for a very special project. I've come to this forum in the hopes of learning and finding people who can kindly help me understand the things that I'm struggling to grasp.
