About – Tiny Bit Adventures

Tiny Bit Adventures started out as a music album written by Austin Ginder with inspiration from Isaiah Ginder. Isaiah had the idea to do a video game theme. As the idea grew, it turned into an actual video game, built from scratch as a way to learn the basics of web development. The Tiny Bit Adventures video game features the main character Fang the Fox, whose goal is to make it through levels of forest exploration.

It started with a crayon map.

Before there was any code, Isaiah drew the board game. A winding path of coloured squares, a volcano, a giant snake that sends you back eight spaces. Then we made Fang and the monsters out of clay. The squares along the top of this site come from that map.

Now it holds every game we make.

Tiny Bit Adventures is where our games live. Fang the Fox came first and has been rebuilt in pixel art. Star Circuit, a robot space-RPG, came next. The album that started it all is still here too.
