Hello. About a year and a half ago, some guy called Ralph asked me if I wanted to make a new videogame website.
We're launching it today. Maybe you can even visit it if people stop hammering the server for a second.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

This is important to sign and share. I archive Dutch language educational games (yeah very niche, that's why they require archiving) and I have to deal with lost media a lot. Don't let games disappear, please.

It makes me very happy that there is a bunch of great looking indie 3D platformers popping up lately.
I'm a bit picky when it comes to controls and move sets, so I rarely like how they feel, but Big Hops is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Been playing this the last few nights and it's a nice little gem of a wander & mine. Good style, a great example of a "simple" #pico8 game that isn't simple :) If you're looking for something to balance out whatever fast-paced action game you're digging, this will do the trick.
I released my first solodev jam game in years: SPHONGOS
You can play it here: mkoloch.itch.io/sphongos
Plays in browser and works on mobile.
Or directly in Pico-8: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=147...
Would love some feedback! General praise is also fine. Thank you :*
