I really appreciate these activism games that you make about Ukraine. I think they tell a story in a way that traditional journalism can't, perhaps because as the player you become an active participant.
You did some interesting things in Bitsy here too - as always - which is another reason why I love your games. I particularly liked the "close-up" bits where you get into the truck and drive.
Hey, thank you for telling me that <3
I really like this format too, although I do feel that I'm stretching Bitsy a bit too much with these overly complex mechanics and scripted sequences. It also makes game production too lengthy, which kind of undermines the idea behind these journalistic games on urgent issues. I'll try to practice more restraint in the future.
Anyway, I'm really glad that you've appreciated my work and found time to share your thoughts! This kind of feedback really makes my day :)
I'm sorry to hear that you're finding it makes it too lengthy for you doing the development because as a player it really makes it even more interesting!
This is such a well-designed game! Not only informative, but evocative. I felt a sense of urgency, empathy, indignation, and the heroism of the energy workers. You did so many interesting things with the art within the constraints of Bitsy (the close-ups of the lamps/switches and truck stand out), and the environments are drawn beautifully. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you!
I'm glad you liked the close-ups. This was a new thing for me to try, and I am very happy that people are finding it evocative. It was also very fun to bend Bitsy in these new and unusual ways. This engine is truly a masterpiece of accessible, yet flexible and multifunctional design.
That's a great game to bring the information to society more closely. Thanks for making this game. Now I will go and show it to others.
thank you!
