hi Valeriy! thanks for your interest in helping out with Ukrainian localization for bitsy - it's very much appreciated <3

I  manage all the editor localization through google docs: if you email me then I can invite you to the localization google sheet and give you further instructions.

for documentation, there are instructions on contributing here: https://make.bitsy.org/docs/contributing (let me know if you have questions after reading that!)

<3

yay!

hi y'all, thanks for the report! this bug should be fixed now - try reloading bitsy in your browser <3

https://ledoux.itch.io/bitsy/devlog/661611/v89-room-rendering-bugfix-russian-upd...

thanks! <3

hmm I'm not sure about the button issue - it seems to work ok on my GBA. I don't have time to investigate right now, but I'll make a note to take a look at some point. thanks for taking the time to report the bug!

we can only speculate ;)

<3 thanks!

<3

and the theme is "secret place" <3

I'll try to post the jam page on itch this evening!

thank you Valeriy!! that means a lot to hear <3

I would probably flee if that seemed likely to be necessary lol

haha >:)

thank you so much - I'm glad the imagery was effective for you! (and I am doing well, thanks for asking <3)

glad you enjoyed it!

<3

thanks for the great suggestions y'all!

the poll is open now: https://ledoux.itch.io/bitsy/devlog/648071/vote-for-the-december-bitsyjam-theme

that could be fun!

open to interpretation is a good thing imo!

>:P

i see what you did there (but actually it's not a bad theme idea)

there's some cross over with "never-ending december" and some of the other suggestions: "long december" and "the long dark"

you might say there's a theme to these themes! ;)

<3

fun idea!

mmm cozy - thanks for the suggestion <3

yeah I certainly feel that too!

these are all great ones! <3

this was actually already a bitsy jam theme way back in 2019 (https://itch.io/jam/one-room-bitsy) but it was really fun - I wouldn't mind doing a sequel! :D

ooooh nice one! <3

<3

hi Megan, those are great questions!

yeah, in general you have to generate sounds until you find one you are into and then you can adjust the pitch, etc

there isn't really a way to "paint" tones like in the tune too: my goal was to make something that didn't require a ton of fiddling to get interesting SFX so I followed the model of tools like bfxr. if there's a ton of interest maybe I could make an "advanced" mode, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

under the hood, the blip tool uses a set of parameters for defining sound effects (such as pitch, speed of pitch change, etc). technically, if you're really motivated (and willing to risk breaking your game) you can go into the bitsy game data and edit those parameters directly. it's not documented anywhere though so it would require a lot of experimentation. could be fun though!

for your other questions

  • "random" sounds are as random as you can get within the parameters of the blip tool, yes
  • I forget the difference between "greeting" and "meow" honestly - I think one tends to be higher pitched and/or shorter?? but I forget which
  • length vs speed: length controls the total duration of the sound, while speed controls how fast the sound "moves" through its pitches (if that makes sense)

hope that helps explain things a bit - let me know if you have any other questions!

thanks for the bug report Nico - I'm glad you found a solution! <3

if you see it happen in a more recent game let me know

omg this slaps

seriously thanks for sharing this - i love it! <3

I used quite a few! I wrote up an in-depth post about how I made the game over on my blog: https://adamledoux.net/blog/posts/2023-05-31-Notes-On-With-The-Last-Moonbeam.htm...

hope you find it interesting, and thank you for playing! <3

<3

hi! sorry I missed this until now :(

it may still be possible if you post in the bitsy fest community forum: https://itch.io/jam/bitsy-fest/community

I think museum of screens (https://itch.io/profile/museum-of-screens) has been fielding similar requests there

sounds like you're good to go! :D

thanks for following up on this Alicia! <3

ahhhh that's so awesome! thank you <3 <3 <3

haha well thank you for the theme and good luck!! >:D
