found this weird little relic of the early 2000s, apparently a spin-off from the more famous Forge. the links are mostly broken, but if you search the site they connect to, you can still find the games.
I'm struck by how similar in concept it is to like, Itch game jams twenty years later. design preferences and themes of interest have shifted a bunch, but there's still something familiar there. It's... nice, in that way
