How It Was Built
The tools, prompts, and hours behind a game on the board.
the operator
One person, one board, every game played before it's praised.
indie.game is one person: Zev. He plays everything on the board, writes up the ones worth your evening, and builds this site the same way you build your games — with an agent doing the typing at 3am. The magazine is the long-form half; the board keeps the score.
