COLLIDERS has a different theme and game selection each month, in May it will be tiny tools.
Making games and interactive stories is not that complex at it seems. The internet is full of projects aiming to smooth the transition from game enthusiasts to game developers. These tools are often small, experimental, and with limited capabilities. Similarly as early game developers faced very strong hardware limitations, these tools offer us a limited development environment in which we can create our games. The best part? There are a lot of them for which you won't even need to code!
In this edition of COLLIDERS we will be showcasing a few games made with the so called tiny tools. If you are curious to make a game with one of these tools you might consider also coming to the Multi Bitsy Workshop hosted by Chloé Desmoineaux or browse the Tiny Tools Directory (maybe you manage to make something to showcase on the open screens?).
