This is cute and nice. I relate to this. It feels bittersweet, like a celebration of the fact that the little fantasies we create dissapear eventually again.
I really liked this one. Felt a cool resonance when I got to the forest maze puzzle, an itsy-bitsy echo of the Link's Awakening follow-up you imagined as a kid. When I was 12 or 13 I posted extensively on a forum about a planned fangame sequel to Chrono Trigger without actually making anything, so I definitely connected with the memoreis here.
<3 thank you! I'm glad the game connected with you - and gratified that you liked the forest maze bit, since that was one of my favorite parts to put in >:D
I love hearing people's forum stories! I was also on forums at that age (most actively on some related to star wars roleplaying lol), so it's fascinating to hear other people's experiences
Really enjoyed this. Feels dream-like. Also growing up with a brother and wanting to make games for a while I can relate. Now I should probably be making a game for the jam.
this game is great! really hits hard on the struggle of trying to make a game and then giving up later... for me its just getting annoyed on making the game. the idea is there but... i hate hard work like always, which makes my ideas stay, well, ideas. all in all, this was a fun and colorful experience!
mmm this was very relaxing and inviting. But you forgot the 7th way to not make a video game: tool around making endless prototypes in RPG maker and then inevitably get bored 5 hours in
Reminds me of the video game literacy narrative I made for a school project! Except this one is much cuter and less long-winded haha. I liked the art of the beaked lion :)
This was really beautiful.. I recently left my job to do some indie projects. I don't know if I'll be successful or if I did the right thing, but I feel happy doing what I like (for now).
<3 thanks!! I hope I will make games for the kiddo at some point - although I don't think those uncoordinated baby hands are quite ready to play them yet >:P

"Is it Videogame or video game?"
I wonder
indeed who can say
This was amazing! It made me really emotional, I love it!
glad you liked it! :)
Very touching, felt like an interactive documentary in a way. Very genuine and extremely relatable as a fellow gamedev. Good luck :)
thank you! <3
so special!

Amazing and beautiful.

This is such a wonderful and heartfelt game! I totally loved hearing the story behind the creation of Bitsy :)
awww thanks, I'm glad you like it! :)
so good!! have you thought of making the kid games now, even in bitsy! love the origin of it btw!! short lines, well written ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
<3 thanks!! I hope I will make games for the kiddo at some point - although I don't think those uncoordinated baby hands are quite ready to play them yet >:P
I like it
a game full of relatable feels!!! this was very sweet and heartfelt :3
<3 thanks!
IM STUUUAAACK, ) :
I don't understand the cat thing, I followed it's movement instructions but nothing happened
nice art, btw
try again?
no, I mean that I don't know what to do
ah. the cat gives you directions to take once you enter the forest. walk through through in that pattern after the first forest screen
Oh- go back to the fork in the road and head north, those instructions are to get you through the forest maze!
