galax.us

Galax.us is something new I'm trying out - a small web ring of Flash game portals, each one targeted around specific, niche themes - e.g., science fiction, horror... I'm starting with three and will add more as I feel like it. At the level I'm doing it right now, they're not hard to maintain after building the initial portfolio of games, since I'm almost entirely based off of the Mochi game feed. I built a small script to maintain the site statically, but it's still heavily based around the Mochi metadata format.

It's exciting trying this out, since it helps me gain additional perspectives on video games - now I can see the publishing viewpoint as well as the player and developer sides of things. Hopefully I'll continue to gradually take this further.
