Nice site about browser games

I will say up front that the site seems to be dead now, as no new articles have been posted in nearly a year. However, what is there is quite good. The site is called Build New Games. There are good articles on there about real-time web games, including topics such as input prediction and lag compensation, a solid breakdown of the A* algorithm, a comparison of common JS game engines, and more. If you are interested in JS game development, it is definitely worth a look!

I would love to have something like this on IR. A place where people could write articles and such.

I really liked the article about what makes games fun. It made me think of what im using in my fish game and what I could use to make it better/more fun.


As for the writings thing, maybe we should create a universa portal type blog for all IR blogs so all the articles are in one place?

We have experimented with this before (we may even have blogs enabled right now :oops: ), but it doesn't bring it all together into its own site like this one does.

The more I look on this site, the more great stuff I find. I am now worried it could disappear at some point, since not much has been added in a while :|

yep we have blogs

http://blogs.indie-resource.com/

but I could always make the main page the main blog then have it grab news from everyone elses possibly. Or just let people make articles on the main one.
