Biome Collective & InGAME welcome everyone to a fun and accessible, COVID - proof interactive workshop that introduces the free, online game-making tool, Bitsy.

Bitsy is an accessible tool that enables you to make small pixel-art adventure/narrative games in a short amount of time, with no coding knowledge required. We will take a look at the history of tiny games and the community around them today, go through an introduction to using Bitsy, and then have time to begin making a Bitsy game of your own.

No prior experience or knowledge necessary.
