Bit Storm

Ben and Trevor dive into a bunch of factory games, with ideas such as:

• Rube Goldberg esque delivery mechanics
• Tower Defense
• Hidden Automation

They also reimagine the film Phantoms (in which Affleck was the bomb) into a PS1 era VR game.

In a drastic departure from our usual content, we present to you the pilot episode of an upcoming documentary series following a local game development company as they work on their new game.

Ben and Trev continue with the What 3 Words prompts this week and discuss video games based on the following ideas such as:

• Chocolate ecclair based data storage
• A Rollercoaster/theme park inspired community
• Ressurection technology

Building off prompts from What3Words.com, Ben and Trevor invent some fresh new video games, such as:

an automation game set in the lowlands of a post capitalistic society, deconstructing the junk of the wealthy to build a new oasis;

strategically build your empire of retirement homes across the lands;

a combination of Papers, Please and Burnout: Takedown as you try to do your office job while simultaneously winning high speed street races;

and more!

Delving back into What 3 Words tonight, Ben and Trev discuss the following game ideas:

• The adventure of a basketball prodigy and his best friend
• A Fable inspired action adventure with battles between neighbouring territories
• An adventure where alien spheres influence society

Three simple games this week as Ben and Trevor munch on some Click Pitch:

• a side scrolling mash up of Inside and Ico helping an aunt and her niece escape an evil corporation;
• a sweat inducing acrobatic game where you pull of intense heists;
• and a romantic game where two teenagers fall in love over arcade games

Ben and Trev continue with their shorter episodes, with games that include

• A body swap murder mystery
• Animals taking on King Midas
• Battle robots in an automated ice factory

Click Pitch is played, game designs are improvised, fun is had! This week:

an office worker finds himself in a labyrinth based on popular board games;

a couple on a camping trip need to find their way out after a medical emergency;

in a company full of inept employees, you must single-handedly overhaul their processes;

and more!

Moving into some compact episodes for a while, Ben and Trevor explore some improvised video game designs, such as:

A Stardew Valley inspired game where you run a bowling alley;

A futuristic battlefield surgery game where you can freeze time;

Fighting back against the spider overlords with your scorpion friends;

and more!

Ben and Trevor use random movies as game prompts and surprisingly stick mainly with horror based themes in the following games

• A VR horror game where you must use a camera to detect spirits and traps
• A Life Guard must guard all life on earth from Cthulhu like monsters
• A survival horror set in a reality tv show
• A match 3 game where a swamp witch becomes the main witness against a mob boss.
