Welcome to Monty Arcade!
Welcome to the little corner where I collect the small games I make.
I finally did something that’s been on my mind for a long time: a site where all the small web games I make live under one roof.
This isn’t really a game store. It’s more like my workshop. The games I make will be released here one by one, but the behind-the-scenes stuff will be here too: the things I tried, the things I couldn’t pull off, and the last-minute ideas that end up changing everything.
Why a site like this?
As a kid, I’d come home from school, turn on the computer and get lost on flash game sites for hours. No installs, no accounts. You’d click on a game, watch the loading bar fill up, and play. If you didn’t like it, you’d go back and try the next one. Every one of those sites had its own vibe, and honestly, I don’t really find that feeling anywhere today.
Monty Arcade grew out of that nostalgia. I wanted to take the spirit of those days and mix it with today’s web: fast, works on your phone, clean but full of character.
What’s coming?
The first games are getting ready in the pits right now. Once a few of them are done, they’ll go live here. I’ll also write a devlog post for each game: where the idea came from, where I got stuck, and what I learned.
Later on, accounts and profiles are coming too. Every game will have its own achievements, and you’ll be able to show off the badges you collect on your profile. A bit of a Steam vibe.
I make small games because I can actually finish a small game. The big ones always ended up half-done.
That’s it for now. Buckle up, the first race starts soon. 🏁
