To create a narrative game using the Bitsy game editor that focuses on one of the “global” themes given, what I chose was Resource Depletion. The focus of my Bitsy game is to be short, yet informative and impactful, an interactive game that will make the players to be immersed for a short moment. This short game aims to open the eyes of the people and move their hearts to act upon a dangerous threat that is depletion of resources.
- Theme: Resource Depletion
o The Player – as the World
o 1 Sprite – as the Earth
- 5 Sprites created to be placed across rooms
I was able to think of this story with a setting that the Earth is taking a human form or spirit form and talking to a chosen envoy for the world because of Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. These games have moments where they go far from their world and interacts with the place they are currently at, I then added that it was a vision to inform of a possible catastrophe if not acted upon. What could be thought as a simple dream, have now become a possible future. Creating a game in Bitsy was challenging for me because, I was running out of time and it was a bit hard for me to create a story for the game. I spent a lot of time thinking and it just didn’t come to me, good thing I was still able to come up with something despite the pressure. I find the 3 color combinations only interesting because I think it was one of the things that made my work easier to create. The smaller measurement of creating the avatar, sprite and an item kind of pushes your creativity to come up with something within 8x8 tile. If I were to undergo this task again, I would like to learn more using coding for the game and dedicate more time to it as well.
