i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

Your YQY is sooo cute! I really love him enjoying life. He’s so dog coded. My handsome boy. Thank you so much for your art!

AAAAAAA THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! HE’S ONE OF MY FAVESSSS SO I’M GLAD I CAN DO HIM JUSTICE 👉👈💖💖💖💖💖💖

I don’t remember if I ever talked about this here, but my introduction to SVSSS was via the Donghua, AND HIS FACE WAS ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT HOOKED ME INTO SVSSS.

My first impression of Yue Qingyuan might not be the most positive,,, (donghua YQY seemed like a Sid from Ice Age looking dolt to me 😭😭), BUT I WAS SO INTRIGUED BY HIM AND I’M SO GLAD I SAT THROUGH IT. I KNEW HE WAS INTERESTING,,, BUT I DIDN’T EXPECT HIS STORY TO CLOTHESLINE ME IN THE THROAT. 😭😭😭 (I absolutely adore him now)
