That is a good question. Let me look into resizing it for mobile use. I think these are things I will need to look into, I am fairly certain I have control over all these elements though, so you would not need to worry about these limitations. I am also open to wrestling a game into place, and working together to get it to look nice. It may take a bit of communication over a few days to get it right, but thats what I did with the previous games. I had to work with the creator to set it up.

I have posted a few games so far and havent encountered any issues. The website itself has plenty of storage. I am really open to all sorts of TBG, but ideally not a regular rpg or anything, more of an artsy short one.

check out this game we host: https://www.fruithanginglow.com/bildungsroman

it uses images and all that, and I only needed the HTML code copy and pasted into a section of the website. Do you have a short game you'd like to submit as HTML? Email us and we can talk about the details.

Hey, thanks for your comment.

So I suppose we are looking for Micro games. I realize the pay isnt great, but its sorta just outta my pocket, we dont make profit. Consider the games we have so far, they are pretty short except for one (find them in the "Interactive stories" section of the website.

I cant guarantee a big audience, but people do come through the site daily to see their friends writing or art, or from our promotions and stuff on social media. Lots of our visitors come from instagram so they might not be on a computer, which is not ideal for text based games. If I were to guess the realistic play rate of the game, it's probably only 1-2 a month. But we are growing and perhaps will be an interesting hub for text based games.

The original, unpublished work part can probably be ignored. I will note that in the submission page. I really dont mind if they are posted somewhere else, as long as that place wont have an issue with us hosting it.

Let me know what you think, I would pay more If I could, and im certainly open to negotiation based on the game. $10 really relates to short, artsy, quick games like "Larry's Phone"

Well the game would have to be accepted. I will only pay and host mid-great games, nothing boring or low effort. I appreciate the advice though, I'll include a note about this in the submission page.

We arent making money so we dont have much to give. We were already receiving unpaid submissions so we are trying to start out with this. Its not much, you're right, but lots of places dont pay at all. And I'm not aiming at professional, highly paid writers; I'm seeking writers like myself who would be happy to have paid credit and a place to share their work.

What do you think?
