Bit Storm

Ben and Trevor get together in person to take some Clicky Pitchy words and turn them into video games, such as:

• a detective who has trouble hearing certain words
• a village stuck in a time loop
• a kangaroo based rage game
• and more!

Trev and Ben get serious this week, as the new random word generator brings more serious prompts. So serious in fact that they can't be added together anymore. The serious games they discussed were:

• An adventure game with global consequences if the young campers don't make it through the week
• An adventure game set over a single night where boy band members must make it through the night without being cancelled
• A scientist utilizes the strange electrical properties of the ornithological creatures on his island in a puzzle game.

Ben and Trevor continue with their new, slightly janky random word generator and play some Click Pitchy, using prompts to come up with game designs such as:

the journey of a tongue through a world of tastes;

an adventure game where you try to live up to the amazing acts of your ancestors;

a world where only DC power exists;

and more!

A new era of the podcast has arrived! Trev has been furiously working on a new random word generator for the podcast and it's ready... and a bit "pitchy". Ben and Trev try it out and get some weird words for their first attempt. The games discussed were:

• An Inside Out inspired conscience game
• A devil and angel inspired conscience game
• A music business tycoon game with storylets added for fun
• A game where you must stop your character from hearing the number 69

Ben and Trevor riff off a dream, then grab some prompts from What 3 Words and invent some games, such as:

A holy implement disguised as an every day utensil;

piracy on the gaseous methane sea of another planet;

the alien base that lives under the Great Artesian Basin;

and more!

Ben and Trevor return to Bit Storm, adapting their game design process to a new challenge! With their usual random word generator no longer available, they're switching things up and using a random movie generator as their source of inspiration. Expect the unexpected as they attempt to build games around some truly unpredictable cinematic prompts. It's going to be a wild ride as they navigate the bizarre and hilarious possibilities that movie titles can inspire!

• A point and click adventure game based in a theatre camp, run by an ex assassin
• A walking simulator set in a distant world, where you play a mixed breed alien
• A mashup of Beverly Hills Cop and The Producers.

Ben and Trevor click some pitches this week, coming up with game designs like:

• a zen shaving game where you remove hair from a variety of creatures
• a cozy Stardew Valley-esque game, where you are a sleeper agent waiting for a mission
• an apple picking game with a hidden horror element
• and more!

Ben and Trevor are back for another round of Bit Storm, attempting to design games using random words and questionable logic! This week, they dove into Click Pitch, and the results are as delightfully unpredictable as ever. The games discussed include

• A game where two planets fall in love and chaos ensues
• A bounty hunter game set in the star wars universe with Carmen Sandiego like investigation and a totally new gameplay enhancement system.
• A time travel game where you must orchestrate a meet cute.

This week Ben and Trevor take all their Click Pitch prompts and merge them into a single MMO, with features such as:

• telepathic characters via the Shining;
• health systems and weight loss;
• pranking celebrities;
• and more!

Ben found another clip of the Big Flip Saga, so we are playing it. Dave/Cody, Harold and Oliver Pebbles learn all about working with childrens checks, how to make games and the healing factor of a spiggot.
