Bit Storm

Join Trevor and Ben as they improvise some game ideas via classic Click Pitch, with results such as:

exploring a world where everything is edible (but perhaps not tasty);

a squad based soccer game where you choose an animal to play as;

unravelling the mystery of a prophetic tapestry;

and more!

Ben and Trev return after the big news that happened in the world. They play Ramped Up Click Pitch to get over it. The games discussed include:

• A cow based self realisation journey
• A roguelike cleaning out slime from gigantic creatures
• A game where you play an elephant doing odd jobs to pay for his road trip
• A hunger games style game where you train the tributes
• A VR game with ice sculpture mechanics.

Ben and Trevor play some Ramped Up Click Pitch, inventing games such as:

a prince who wants to stay amphibious to pursue his music career;

nursing a severed limb back to life;

running the logistics for a Warehouse 13-esque facility;

and more!

Ben and Trev get spooky with this years Hole-o-ween special. This year they are playing Ramped Up Click Pitch to get their prompts and the games discussed were:

• a game where you control a marionette manually
• a horror game set at a camp for toddlers
• a game called All Draculas Hate Dentists

This week Ben and Trevor take random movies as prompts and come up with improvised video games, including:

a Pacific Rim/Commando mash-up where you are an ex-mech fighter brought back to save your daughter;

a point and click adventure where you play two slightly naive men looking after some difficult kids;

an investigate reporter tries to discover the source of the shocking visions of a rich heir;

and more!

Ben and Trev are once again live from PAX, this time sitting above the handheld area, where they play some Click Pitch. The games that will never exist but yet are discussed involved:

• Controlling dangerous fantasy creatures in a national park
• Avoid aliens by continually maintaining rhythm while going through life
• Pay actual bills with actual money through space invaders styled gameplay

Ben and Trevor take notes from GOTY contender UFO 50 by improvising limited scope games, such as:

a mouse digging his way between houses, looking for treats;

dueling painters trying to be the one who paints the most of a house;

California Games meets the legal system;

and more!

Ben and Trev are back on video, and are ready to introduce a new segment to the podcast. What is it??? You'll have to listen to find out.

Games discussed include

• Monique the leek runs for president as your character trys to turn from antagonist to protagonist.
• Search through videos from an archive to solve a mystery
• An adventure game set in a school staff room.

A new season begins, and Trevor and Ben take random movie prompts and turn them into improvised video game ideas, including:

• a spy thriller take on My Dinner With Andre
• a tense sci-fi survival game set next to volcanic vents in the deepest ocean
• a mystery revolving around a friend lost in a haunted theme park ride
• and more!

Well, it's come time to finally end Bit Storm... Season 1. Ben and Trev have decided that 400 episodes is the perfect length for a season of a podcast, so this is the final episode of season 1. They discuss games that still don't exist at length like:

• A timeloop adventure set between the hours of 9am and 3pm at an office
• A dystopian adventure where the main character realises they are not like everyone else
• A cosy game where you unpack a hoard.
