I love that you came back to it though!

❤️!

Just gotta think harder.

🙃

e4 ?

cheeeeeeessssssssd

Ha! Thanks so much for such an in-depth thought there. Feel free to email if you want to discuss Twine. I made another more complex one (Burnt Matches) which played around a bunch more with the form.

❤️

Thank you!!

One really mussst!

🥲 

SPOILER ALERT!

Love it

Ahahaha. Yeah that stuff is so frustrating.

Hey buddy!

Well thanks!

Oh that's interesting... I'll try to take a look at it.

Feature!

Oohhhhh nice one. Or even JRPG chess where you break away into one of those displays of the teams facing off in 2D side-on view!

Hahaha. Sounds reasonable to me... it's mutually assured destruction! So you lose if you capture with the king...

Hahaha, somehow that's as appropriate as the game I implemented for it!

Hmmm probably. Haven't thought about it for a wee while. Electron would be a possibility.

Right???

ha! That would be amazing!

Nailed it!

Hahaha. Oh man, I totally forgot I made water for a Bitsy game myself!

it’s true. Need to get around to that!

That would definitely be a great addition! At some point I do need to learn how to implement it...

Thanks :)

Thanks for taking a look - would be great if it works. If not, I can of course get hold of a PC to get my second play-through in. Such an excellent game.

I guess it's the price of "progress" but I don't seem to be able to run this on Mac OS 10.14.5 (Mojave) - any insight? I've played it before (and it is brilliant) but was wanting to take another look!

Well thanks!

As per the title, the Mac build has a similar problem to reported bugs earlier - the title sequence plays, the mouse stays visible, you reach the "smudge in the distance", and then nothing happens.

This is on Mac OS Mojave (10.14)

A room! A trunk! A tube! A bed! A radiator! A light! A landscape! A darkness! A separation! A floating in air! A doubling! An intersection! And more! And more!

b r 1 on itch.io

b r 1 (Bitsy Realty 1) is a remake of my earlier game v r 1 which was itself an attempt to "remake" Gregor Schneider's u r 1 from his The Haus u r project. Where v r 1 was created in Unity, b r 1 is created in Bitsy, leading to important differences between the two games, including moving from 3D to 2D, physic-simulation to none, high resolution to 8x8 tile-based graphics, sounds versus silence, a first-person experience to a third-person experience, real-time versus turn-based, and on and on. It's in these differences that I'm trying to explore how Unity and Bitsy and both different and, in important ways, the same. What does it mean to try to create the 'same' experience in two radically different engines? What are the two engines good at? Bad at? Ignorant of? Emphatic about? This 'translation' throws these ideas into relief.

Enjoyed this! Doing a lot with very little interactivity. Particularly love the radio station, very very clever.

Impressed by the ambition of this piece! Expressive way to tell a story and great to see so much ambiguity to it, appreciated. Not 100% sure I "get" the decision to feature two such disparate styles between memory and river... it's nice, but I'm not quite convinced by it right now... will think more.

@nicom –– Really helpful to get those issues noted, thanks. I've uploaded new builds with a larger deadzone, so hopefully that'll help if you have a chance to check it out). As for the land disappearing... yikes! If you happen to remember any details of when it happened for possibly reproducing the error I'd love to fix it... (invisible only while moving and then visible again, or invisible even when you got there?)

Like the visual style here – makes me think of thecatamites to some extent. Very odd narrative shape which I liked a surprising amount too. I wish I'd been able to wander for longer in this desert, having more strange thoughts...

I really struggled to understand how this one worked I'm afraid. I really like it conceptually and the presentation is nice, but I never really quite got a feel for what I was doing unfortunately.
