Small Games Manifesto

A Manifesto for the Small Games Movement, or a bunch of nonsense I think is important & hope to see in the game development community in the future.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Most people don't have time to make or play long games- The solution to this is Small Games.

• Small Games should be 10 minutes or less and it's best if they're playable in a we browser.
• Scope it down.

• There's no requirements for being a Small Games dev.
• Don't worry about "quality".
• Be sincere and personal in your work.
• Games should let you experience something you can't in real life.
• Make games you want everyone to play.
• Make games you want only one person to play.
• Make mini masterpieces.
• Make absolute garbage.

• Make you games and tools accessible.
• Support your fellow game makers & tool creators.
• Bring new people into the development scene.
• Lift up other voices.
• Be respectful- There's no room for bigots in the Small Games Movement

• Have fun.
