Finding a hot spring in something like a Nioh game will always be infinitely more "cozy" than any one of the 500 identical wholesome cozy games shown every year. Give me something hostile that shows comfort as a contrasting element! Don't give me an infantilizing fantasy where I become a landlord or some shit.

Great manifesto. Thank you for writing it!

Everybody wins! 

Thank you for reading! ^.^

T.T I'm gonna be waiting a long time on account of how I haven't finished the first game lol. 

I love this btw. I NEED to make something with wareware.

Now THIS is a bitsy!

Everyone wins!! 

Had a short story fail to get picked up by seven places in the last year. 

Needless to say I needed this reminder that markets are fickle. 

Thanks for this zine. :)

I def think she's pretty cool too. :)

If by buy you meant click the download button then hell yeah! But if you actually paid someone money for this... uh oh!!

I actually have a document with the rules for a card game I was developing a few years back... that I stopped working on because I didn't think I was a good enough artist to do the cards yet. 

I think I should revisit that sometime soon. I'm a lot more confident now than I was back then. 

I don't think the cards would look exactly like this, but... they'd have a similar vibe!

It's that simple.

egg...bug

The game crashed so I think that means I won lol

Had me laughing quite a bit too! 

edit: omg lol. I kept going

second edit: ultimately, I was defeated. T.T lol

narrator: he never did

This is great. My favorite tracks are Glitchpan, Alien, and Space Debris! All the art that accompanies the songs are so good too. Like, I love the vibe of the Starsky illustration. Definitely left several of the songs looping while I worked on my own art. :)

Thanks for the kind words and for playing my game!! :)

The vibes are immaculate. True ending is the kind of thing I LOVE seeing in games.

I had to update this to remove the deviant art link and replace it with an inkblot link because DA turned heel within hours of me posting this lol.

It makes me happy people seem to keep finding this and even liking it. Makes me think I should make more Bitsy 3D games.

thank you for your kind words!! :) 

This just... absolutely nails the tone of TSP so, so well. I love this.

tfw the poem is better than the movie lol

Jokes aside I love these poems (Gamer and Winter Soldier are incredible).

I don't go to the movie theater anymore... Largely because of feelings that this piece reflects super well. And because of pandemic stuff. Maybe one day we can build a world where we can all watch a movie together without feeling like this.

My tired ass credited Possessor to David Cronenberg when I wrote this. His son Brandon directed Possessor. This one mistake invalidates the entire document lol

(I'll fix it in a future draft)

Some really nice reminders that I needed to see in here.

This is inspiring as hell tbh

ten out of ten. No notes. 

This is so good. Thank you. I too dream of an e-ink cyberdeck (well, I call it a cyberdeck--no one else has to) for portable writing and stuff.

I really hope I chose the right guys. 

It is such a ridiculously over the top song given what it's about. I love it. Thanks for playing. :)

This is great! One specific piece of evidence got me to laugh out loud and I really appreciated the interaction/reference I got from a specific cat!

Really love the implementation of background art here. It works really well!

I am extremely excited about this! Question: if it's music AND sound does that mean there is room for me to continue making my music externally with something like beepbox and have bitsy handle sound fx?

Stumbled across this during a pretty stressful day and found it really cathartic. Thank you.

"You are the type of person who would choose: 'Rather than be a ninja or pirate, you'd choose to be a ninja-pirate. Demon. Dragon. Elder God from the Abysaal Plane unleashed once every thirty thousand new moons to reign as the one true supreme being.' on a personality test. Have a nice day."

How did you know!? :o

I love this. I also tried to make a pseudo rhythm game with bitsy and because I couldn't figure out how to get things to happen on beat or with any kind of actual time my solution was to just... make none of that matter lol. This is WAY better.

I'm trying really hard to learn to love myself tbh.

Thank you so much for this wonderful bitsy.

My ancestors are smiling at me, miniwoolf. Can you say the same? lol

Thanks for playing! Yes, getting into the elevator and waiting forever is the end of this game. It's a callback to the previous elevator game that I made, which was a joke about "what if the elevator loading screens in games like mass effect were the entire game?" Getting stuck is kind of sad though, you're right.

As for making 3D bitsy games, you can use Bitsy 3D or Bitsy Color 3D. Bitsy 3D has the color limitations of standard bitsy, and Color 3D has access to more colors and a few other useful tools.

This is literally just the intro looping forever please for the love of god don't play this lmao
