How to use this archive
A browsable library of candid game-dev interviews. Here's what everything does.
Search
The search box is full-text — it matches titles, developers, studios, games, topics, and our own summaries & AMA recaps. The filters narrow by country, source type, or topic; the sort drops to newest/oldest or groups by company/game.
Open a card
Click any card to open the full interview: summary, the people & games (each with Wikipedia/Steam), the AMA recap, related interviews, and links to the original source + a Wayback archive copy.
Reading list
Tap ☆ save on a card to add it to your list; ✓ read marks what you've seen. The Saved tab is your reading list (kept on this device).
Timelines
Chronological release timelines with interviews attached to each game. Open The Global Timeline for everything at once — interviews + releases + studio foundings/closures — and use the layer filters and the year rail on the right to jump around. Sort the directory with its dropdown.
Graph
An interactive map of how developers, studios & games connect. Hover a node to trace its links, click it to open its page, and toggle node types with the legend chips.
Studios & Devs
A studio card is a briefing — click it for the full studio page (history, founders, release timeline, interviews). A developer opens their profile: career timeline, studios, and every interview. Sort either with its dropdown.
Get around
The ← button (top-left) steps back through whatever you opened. Every view has a shareable URL. 🎲 Surprise opens a random interview. Night toggles dark mode and FX the animated background.
