Bit Storm

A new game idea generator is tried out, producing a rather unusual game about a giant. Other games include a rogue like set in small towns across the world, a magical watch can control time of the world around it, the secret origins of Plucka Duck and the true outcome of threatening or 'Else'

Click Picture is retired with a final game about the origins of the Pasta Witch and a chair-bound soccer goalie, but Click Pitch continues to generate game designs, including a chill game about rebuilding a model town, super-intelligent babies escaping their laboratory prison (Pikmin style), a more realistic world of vampires where vampires are sufferers of a dusty disease, and more!

Ben and Trevor are on their own once again, playing with game ideas including: Living on your own in a world stripped of an atmosphere; A mobile game where you must develop new dye colours for your customers; A full service Uber/Lyft style driver simulator; James Bond RPG in the exciting world of HR; and more!

Ben and Trevor are joined this week by Hello From The Magic Tavern (https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/hello-from-the-magic-tavern-110788) and game designs spring forth, including: God's detective investigating crimes through history; a game of baking your own monsters and fighting them (Gotta Cook 'Em All!); the Knights of Woodwind battle against the evil Stringed Menace; a matchmaker using dubious sources; and more!

This week Ben and Trev discuss the following ideas throughout Ramped Up Click Pitch and Click Picture: the loneliness of solar mining, brawling psychic cats, the magical secret of floor 13, the generations old curse of a family is revealed, and of course a sexy deck builder.

Spirits, doff your humans! Ben and Trevor take a trip to SpiritCon 2020; figure out who shot first, the chicken or the egg; uncover a long lost nicotine mascot; catch up with Cupid 30 years into her life; fall from a building in slow motion; and more!

Over the top basketball with classic movie monsters, a rogue like based on the seven deadly sins, a game based around the super rock powers of Kurodust, the reaper takes a man on a trip to show why he's going to hell and if we are ever invaded by pineapple headed aliens, we must rise against their capitalist ideas. Ben and Trevor laugh their way through another set of Click Pictures and Click Pitches.

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!

Yarr, have we got a crazy episode for you! An adventure game set in a soap opera, an alternate world version of Bruce Wayne, a cat version of the titanic and of course hipster pirates. Ben and Trev laugh their way through these ideas and more on this episode of Bit Storm.

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.

New IPs galore this week, as Ben and Trevor Click Pitch (and Click Picture) their way to ideas such as: a world divided between humans and baked goods a Farmer's Olympics involving mostly gourds an intelligent toupee trying to take down the presidency a slug and a snail become the best of friends a sequel to I Am Bread (with zombies) and more!

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.
