This is one of the 3 game-making workshops that will be running alongside the Berlin Mini Game Jam. We recommend joining at 12:00 for the game jam info speech and theme voting, and to meet the other participants. Once the jam kicks off at 13:00, those who want to take part to the workshop will move to a different space. Once the workshop is over, you're welcome to go back to the game jam.
Please note that spots for the workshop will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis.- - - - -
In this workshop we will introduce the free web-based tool
Bitsy, give a brief tour through it, and then be on hand to help out as you experiment with using it. Bitsy is great for making small narrative adventures with a tile-based pixel-art aesthetic, and no knowledge of coding required. It's designed to accessible for any skill level within game development, including absolute beginners, and for making a short game within a few hours - perfect for a game jam!
