Hello everyone, I am very happy to announce that the Museum of Screen is partnering up with Bitsy!
In 2016, Adam Le Doux released the first version of Bitsy, an online tool to make small scale web games. And I really mean small scale, it is designed to be very minimalistic, in order to make games that weigh basically nothing and can be very easily embedded into web pages.
But the limitations actually helped people to find creative ways to express themselves, and this combined with how simple it is to make and release Bitsy games, the tool became incredibly popular on websites such as Itch.io. Today, thousands of Bitsy games have been made: Incredible minimalist pixel art showcases, introspectives narrative pieces, or sometimes just simple jokes. It is without a doubt one of the most important tools specifically made for web games in the last ten years.
And, for its 7th anniversary, the Museum of Screens will go back on its history with Bitsy Fest, an event starting with a game jam going from September 22nd to October 15th. Bitsy Jam are monthly events, but this one will be very special, because on October 15th, a Bitsy exhibition will be opened at the Virtual Museum of Screens, featuring classic Bitsy creations, alongside every game made for the jam! Plus, we will hand pick our favorite creations of the jam to highlight them during the month of october.
I would like to thank Adam Le Doux for agreeing to celebrate Bitsy with the Museum of Screens, and a big thanks to Alicia Luna Ripp for helping me put together the event.
