Bit Storm

From a modempunk adventure running from an AI written in QBasic, to Daniel Radcliffe as a wizard assassin, by way of an engineer who knows parkour and must stop a speeding mag-lev monorail - this week's episode of Bit Storm will take you places!

Demigods running riot in the a Battle Royale set at a prestigious University, make yourself sick in VR by moving the camera around by throwing and carrying you head, play as a fish taking a vacation in Europe, and we discuss a Wing Commander-esque game set under the ocean after the nuclear winter that wiped out all life on the surface. Ben and Trevor stumble their way through these ideas on this episode of Bit Storm.

Content Warning: Body Horror We keep it simple this week and do a few long form Click Pitches, where we discover the next phase of the Flesh House saga, follow the story of a glow in the dark sticker, and fake our way through a movie premiere!

Ben and Trevor are going off the rails on a crazy train talking about the following game ideas. A post utopic world where AI has abandoned us, the theoretical back story for Oscar the Grouch, a karaoke management game set in the world of Wind in the Willows and the aforementioned Crazy Train.

Some prime world building this week as Ben and Trevor Click Pitch and Click Picture their way to a game where Lucifer plays a PR agent in an earth-bound Heaven City, the troubled parent of a pyrokinetic child, a rogue-like built around hybrid animals, a chilled out day spent in a comic book store, and more!

Between horny cars and key parties it's a bit of a raunchy one this week, with games also including a nuclear powered pet generator, World War 2 soldiers finding themselves in pandemic-stricken 2020, a family trying to stay alive in the midst of a series of arson attacks, and more!

Click Picture continues yet again with surprising results. An astronaut out of time, camera coverage in an underground museum, a survivor based adventure game, and a dangerous adversary that only appears in photos and reflections.

Computers that feel pain, cheating in a multiplayer marathon, a law-enforcing gelatinous cube, a carnival of horrors, a time travelling bicycle, and more as Ben and Trevor riff their way through some more Click Pitch!

Artificial Reality taking over the world, alien parasites causing long life and brain explosions, the unofficial sequel to Samurai Punks "The American Dream" and a world where the social networks have become full religions. These are just some of the crazy ideas discussed on today's episode.

Ben and Trevor are back with an all new episode of Bit Storm. Their weird takes on the following ideas feature throughout: Pretending that the weird goings on behind you are actually a Zoom background, a farm to table Tamagotchi adventure, the real reason tinsel was invented, getting high on a new drug and a world where the government supplies 1 (and only 1) cat per person.

Build guns from parts before the horde arrives, backtrack through the last 48 hours of a Cyberpunk world, hug somebody while they throw clay on a wheel, switch back and forth between real life and a noir world, and more as Ben and Trevor bookend some Click Pitch with some Click Picture!

With Ben being away Trevor invited his friends from the Inconsolables, Sammy Deedge and Mrs Llante. Together they caused absolute chaos and talked about numerous game ideas including, touching up faces, hallucinogenic mould, protecting the barrier reef as a politicians aid, the secret of climbing Mt Everest and a mysterious leprechaun is causing havoc in a small village.
