I kept building browser games and strange tools, so I gave them a home

#showdev #webdev #gamedev #indiedev

I did not begin with a plan to build an entire entertainment site.

I began with individual projects: a maze game, a browser, experiments, desktop software, utilities, and ideas that did not belong anywhere else. Eventually, the collection itself became the project.

That collection is now Basya Entertainment.

The Featured shelf

Rather than presenting everything as one enormous catalogue, I created a Featured section for the projects that best explain what Basya Entertainment is:

Basya Slots, an Android slot game
BasyaNet, a browser with its own personality
BasyaOS, a custom graphical desktop
Basya Tools, for creating, editing, and running .basya applications
BEZip, an archive format and accompanying tools

The rest of the site branches into browser games, utilities, creative tools, and interactive oddities.

The browser games

Projects such as Doomaze run directly in the browser. Doomaze is a shifting maze where the player scans corridors, repairs anchors, collects shards, wakes two cats, and escapes through a rift.

There are also casino games, puzzle collections, simulations, sandboxes, and experiments that are harder to describe without simply opening them.

The difficult part

Building many projects was easier than deciding how people should discover them.

A giant project grid gives visitors choices, but it does not necessarily give them a starting point. The Featured shelf is my attempt to solve that: a curated introduction before visitors wander into the larger collection.

I am still figuring out the right balance between studio, arcade, toolbox, and strange corner of the internet.
