The Chango as the National Bird

 Hi folks!

In this last few days I have been experimenting and trying to learn the basics of Bitsy: a little editor for little games or worlds.

The Chango as the National Bird (or El chango como pájaro nacional in Spanish) is an essay written by Magali García Ramis; Writer, journalist and professor of journalism, she was born in 1946 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. She has a bachelor's degree in History from the University of Puerto Rico (1968) and a master's degree in Journalism Sciences from Columbia University, N.Y. (1969). She subsequently pursued doctoral studies at the Autonomous University of Mexico and at the Center for Advanced Studies of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

El chango como pájaro nacional is one of my favorite essay as it proposes in a very interesting and funny way the Chango (Mozambique, Machambo, Quiscalusnigerbrachypterus, Greater Antillean grackle) as the best candidate for the national bird of my country, Puerto Rico.

So, I designed using Bitsy a little "game"/"visual novel" that you as a Chango "fly thru the playas (beaches) of Puerto Rico as a Chango, learning why the Chango should be the Puerto Rican National Bird".

Shiko no Kaiju: Monster Supreme

 Hi y'all!

Recently we participated in another game jam, Kaiju Jam.

As the jam name suggest, the theme was kaijus = giant monsters alá Godzilla.

Our submission was a card game that uses playing cards and poker hands as its main mechanic.

If you want to test it, you have 2 options: Online (you will need a friend with another device to play) or download a FREE community copy at itch.io (limited supplies).

So what are you waiting for? Play it and leave a comment below.

 

Thanks!

Chrome//Knuckles: A Beat em' Up Cyberpunk RPG

 

Chrome//Knuckles is my submission for the One Page RPG Jam 2021.

As the title suggests, Chrome//Knuckles is a Cyberpunk themed RPG set "in a imminent future". The evil mega corp Yashinoki, rigged the elections for mayor of "the once prosperous Reef City". The city is now in chaos, commanded by the iron fist of Akuma Salinas. "Misery, hunger and crime reign" in Reef City. 

Who will overthrow the powerful Akuma Salinas? 

Go right now to Chrome//Knuckles page at itch.io, download the files, find some friends and hook your Cyberboard to your Datajack, because it's time to let Mr. Salinas know the power of the people is in their numbers!

¡Ha! Y por cierto Chrome//Knuckles también está disponible en español.

 Aloha y'all Hiram here!

This last month I been participating of some game jams at itch.io, so here I will post the last two of them.

The 1st one is a zine, but not a game or RPG zine. This one is a personal writing about my experience as a table top game developer done for the Zine Jam: Hobbies Edition!. If you want to check it out go here.

The second one is Stumbling Undead business card Edition. I made this one for the Pleasure-not-Business Card RPG Jam. Go here if you want to get this one.

There are some things cooking, but I will leave those for some other time.

Write y'all laters and as always... STAY TUNED!!!

Atomic-Powered Mutant Grrls

 

Hi folks, Hiram here! 

It been a long time, but at least I have something for y'all. In this last two weeks I worked in conjunction with my girlfriend (Stephanie Feliciano) a magical girls RPG for the Magical Girls Game Jam #3. 

As in the title of this post we called, the RPG Atomic-Powered Mutant Grrls. AMG (for short) is simple RPG that in it's intro tells you a little background story of how the grrls were conceived, so you have a start for you to continue. 

The illustrations for the book were beautifully made by María Feliciano. 

If you want to check it out,use the widget bellow, there you will find an English and a Spanish version of the book. 

Well fellas, that all I got for you right now. Hope y'all like it and as always stay tuned!
