Bit Bash was founded April 13, 2014. We’re based in Chicago, Illinois. Many of our volunteers met via Indie City Games. Bit Bash was established to further the culture of independent game development in Chicago by hosting larger, public-facing events. Our goal is to promote games that either can’t be played at home, have unique controllers or experiences, or promote community or an artistic statement. Proceeds go to our fiscal sponsor Chicago Foundation for the Interactive Arts so we can host more rad events, and help us cover entry for kids under 13 and at-risk youth.
