imagineNATIVE / Game Design with Bitsy

Our first ever Bitsy workshop! Bitsy is a browser-based tool for making little narrative games in a pixel art style. Members of the iNDigital Youth Collective gathered together in the AbTeC Discord server for our final workshop of the series and learned how to build 2D game worlds, design their own avatars and non-player characters and items, and write dialogues all within Bitsy. At the end of the workshop participants exported their games as HTML files and uploaded them to Discord so that others could download and play them on their browsers. Bitsy was quick to pick up for the participants and all of them gave the tool raving reviews, so expect more Bitsy video game workshops in the future.
