Get Off My Channel!

The finished product of GOOD BITS 2024, as premiered (and performed!) LIVE at The Annoyance Theatre in April 2024.

During the kick-off on April 12th, A couple dozen comedy students and a lil handful of game dev students teamed up last weekend to make one giant chimera of a game under a short deadline.

The participants pivoted from working in small teams to actually working in one monster group. The students got tips and one-on-one mentorship from a panel of the best comedy writers and game developers and scholars in Chicago. Then they spent the weekend taking on a humongous, hilarious task like it was no big deal: these guys got to work writing, producing, illustrating, and coding a totally original comedy game, mostly communicating via Discord.

The devs playtested their game GET OFF MY CHANNEL live at The Annoyance Theatre on Sunday, April 21st at 5pm
