Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 1997
A news and features site for people who make video games, called Gamasutra until 2021.
Its post-mortems have developers recount what went right and wrong on a game, with over 150 published. Its team won Webby Awards in 2006 and 2007.
In 1997: Created this year as the online sister of the print magazine Game Developer.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
