Wasn't going to share this again, but it has enjoyed an unexpected emergence of interest on itch.io. So, if you want a 2 minute break from it all this afternoon, then a virtual garden awaits... https://racarter.itch.io/haiku-garden

"The art of wind and moon" - a useful future art prompt: a souvenir from this late summer evening.

Something peaceful to share. "Haiku Garden" invites you to spend a few minutes in a garden that changes with the time of day and the passing seasons, reading generative haikus, drawn from the work of Bashō, reflecting these temporal shifts https://racarter.itch.io/haiku-garden

Bits been a while

Making something autobiographical in Bitsy. First time in my life I've felt like this is even possible.

Part of the reason I stopped making bitsy stuff was because I wasn't able to put much of myself in my work, just play on themes. Anyway I know how this game will work and I'm excited to be making something in this wonderful tool again.

So, we have made a blatant clone of Return of the Obra Dinn by @dukope but in #Bitsy

Who wants more sceneries or DLC for Obra Dinn? Raise your hand #InteractiveFiction friends.

You got it, but sorry, it is still in Spanish. XD

Recently I've enjoyed two YouTube series: @mcoorlim 's #retro #Ultima playthrus: https://youtu.be/lFCs_cDvTi4
and Challacade's #gamdev Recreating Zelda: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqPLyUreLV8D3Ckd_9UFNvEpg4xCvbL1a

This made me think of an old idea I had: making a web-based Ultima-like framework that allows others to make 2d rpgs (a little like #bitsy). Would be great if this was combined with a series of videos looking into Ultima's rpg features in depth. Sound interesting to anyone?

It’s bitsy o’clock, time to take your daily dose of melancholia.

oye! que alguien haga el logo de Intel Inside pero con Bitsy.

Wrote a little #fennel script to parse and create #bitsy game files using #lua:

https://git.sr.ht/~jummit/bitsy-format

It can convert between .bitsy and .json files:

parse-bitsy game.bitsy # prints the json
parse-bitsy game.json # prints the bitsy format

It's also on #luarocks: https://luarocks.org/modules/Jummit/bitsy-format

Always intrigued by the steady trickle of people who stumble upon my #Bitsy art-text games on itch.io and not only view them but actually decide to play them! Drone City has had more than a few visits recently, for reasons unknown https://racarter.itch.io/drone-city

I built a game in one week in bitsy - Cryogenic! It's live!

It's a lil' cozy narrative exploration game about cryostasis & the end of the world. ❄️

Free to play in browser & on mobile on itch.io:

Short, spoilery article about building "Home Security" using #Bitsy.

https://journal.bts.cx/2023/06/home-security

I made a #Bitsy game for #BitsyJam and just released it on @itchio.

It's about home security, has multiple endings and definitely doesn’t feature anything cute and/or secret.

@thunderperfectwitchcraft wrote such a beautiful and though provoking (even for me :D ) review of my games.

We'll be showcasing some great community games and other Bitsy treasures to close out our Bitsy Month tonight (Apr 28) starting at 7pm PT on Twitch, including a collaborative game between multiple PIGSquad friends!

#bitsy #PigSquad

It's #bitsy month at PIGSquad, and it's really exciting to see people who "could never make a game" using it to, you know, make games.

What am *I* doing with Bitsy this month? Seeing how well it adheres to the Berlin interpretation, of course.
