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.

hi so. Im a big fan of your writing, MuTT specifically (like it literally changed my life when i was younger) and i totally understand that you're not really writing anymore. However. I have a proposal, out of complete desperation. I would literally be willing to pay you any amount if you were willing to finish it and either publish it or send it to me. and i totally understand if you’re not interested i just needed to try lol (also sending this not on anon in case you answer so i can actually see the response)

Hiya, firstly, thanks so much for being so invested in my writing! I appreciate it. I have indeed ALMOST entirely stopped writing (and recently even drawing, I haven't done any fanart in almost a year) but I don't consider these things abandoned. I really have every intention of eventually continuing MuTT, no payment required. I actually loved writing it, I just don't have time like I used to, so hobbies fall by the way side, you know? I am interested in finishing MuTT! I swear, I just don't know when it'll happen. But I'll tell you what, if I ever decide to actually discontinue it, I'll post a summary of what was SUPPOSED to happen (because I know how I intend it to end) so there'll be closure. But that's a very big IF, since I do want to write it to the end properly. 😭
