Bit Storm

Ben and Trev are starting to cram as many episodes they can in to one recording session, so these next 10 episodes or so may get a little loopy. However this time they discuss the following games while playing their classic Ramped Up Click Pitch game.

• Discover why Ken and Ryu have similar moves in Street Fighter 2 onwards
• An adventure set on a steampunk space ship
• A point and click adventure where the original use for Yelp is discovered.

Jumping into a game of What 3 Words, Ben and Trevor create some fun video game ideas such as:

playing as a Telecom Justice, in a world where wireless communication has been banned;

booby trapping a verandah during a neighbourly dispute;

fighting back against giant space bees emerging from the centre of the Earth;

and more!

Ben and Trev jump into creating games based off of random movies this week. Some of the games include.

• A vengeful spider chasing after the 1% after years of being juiced.
• The humble high 5 is discovered to be a way to travel to a new dimension
• An adventure set in Australia during Banjo Patterson's time.

Click Pitch is played, and games are improvised! Ben and Trevor come up with games such as:

A wacky race across the world;

A heavy metal band faces the apocalypse;

Forces of heaven and hell vie for the possession of God's fiddle;

and more!

This episode Ben and Trevor are mixing things up by playing What 3 Words to get their random prompts. They discuss weird games including:

• A Papers Please inspired legal game involving the bad guys from video games suing the heroes
• A Romeo and Juliet-esque romance game set in a submarine where 2 star crossed Deep Water Polo players fall in love
• A point and click / 2d side scroller beat em up mash up set on a weird alien planet.

Playing some Ramped Up Click Pitch, Ben and Trevor invent some video games from whole cloth, such as:

a character who finds their autobiography from the future, and must decide how best to use it;

a far future society re-discovering the technology of our present day;

waking up with Elvis's signature tattooed in a sensitive place;

and more!

Taking a break from the standard video game design shenanigans this week, Ben and Trev review some of their favourite dark web games this week. The games include

• Night-time Ballet Choreographer
• Bionic Devil Voyage
• Violent Hamster Paratroopers
• Go Go Gnome Saga
• Everybody Loves the Jetpack
• Galactic Shaving on the Oregon Trail

Improvised game designs from random movies, go! This week:

A Tiktok trend results in a horrifying night for some babysitters;

Two himbos find themselves stuck on a ghost ship;

and more!

Ben and Trev return to the random movie pile to gain inspiration for game ideas. They discussed the following games, that unfortunately (or fortunately) don't exist.

• An intergalactic story of Candace and her robot R.O.C.K.Y. 5
• A heist within a law enforcement compound
• A murder mystery set in the 1970's, where a secret war is boiling between two gangs.

Ben and Trevor accidentally do a horror themed episode based on random movie prompts, such as:

Freddy vs Jason (but they're just twin brothers);

A social deduction game where you try to determine who is an angel;

A horror roguelike where you have the power to see who the killer will attack next;

and more!
