Sometimes someone just makes a really fucking good 3d-Mario-Like with a fraction of the resources of Nintendo. This game is that. Do you like that stuff? Play it when it comes out!

Big Hops

There have been a lot of games trying to capture that golden-era of 3D platformers, but I feel like this is the first one to nail the lighthearted and fun side of playing them while offering enough room for hardcore players to have fun. Cute frogs!

#BigHops is in Steam Next Fest!

It's a good hour long taste of our adventure: you'll use your tongue, learn to climb, find veggies you can build paths with, and borrow a stranger's backpack.

my four-week workshop starts next saturday, and i'd love to get a tenth person to sign up before then!
cyborgurl.bsky.social Anna Anne Anthropy @cyborgurl.bsky.social · Aug 23
I'm excited to announce I'm going to be running a four-week remote workshop on creating interactive fiction with #bitsy starting at the end of September! Games created in the workshop will be featured in an exhibition at Accent Sisters in New York, with whom I'm partnering on this project!
Crafting Interactive Fiction with Bitsy. With Anna Anthropy. September 28 to October 19. 4 weeks online workshop, 150 minutes per session. What if a work of fiction were more like a space – something readers could wander, struggle against, push at the boundaries of? Digital games let us weave interactivity, spatiality and friction into storytelling. In this class, we’ll use Adam Le Doux’s Bitsy – a free browser-based game tool – to create interactive narratives. If you love storytelling and want experiment with new tools to tell new kinds of stories, this class is for you. Beijing Time: September 28, October 5, October 12, October 19, Sundays, 9:00 - 11:30 AM New York Time: September 27, October 4, October 11, October 18, Saturdays, 9:00 - 11:30 PM Our 150-minute workshops will consist of guided tutorials, artistic discussions and creative exercises. Over the course of four meetings, participants will write, develop and revise a work of original interactive fiction. At the end of the class, outstanding projects will have the opportunity to be featured in an exhibition at Accent Sisters in New York. Anna Anthropy is a game designer, educator and cyborg. Her work, both digital and tabletop, explores themes of queerness, kink and disability. Her most well-known digital games include dys4ia and Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars; some of her recent tabletop work includes Coldbloods, The Fool's Journey, and the award-winning Forgotten Palaces. Anna is the author of several books on games and game design, including A Game Design Vocabulary, Rise of the Video Game Zinesters, ZZT, and the Make Your Own Video Games! series from No Starch press. She has shown work in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. She lives in Chicago with a little black cat named Encyclopedia Frown.
