Downpour — make a game

Downpour (still don’t get the name) is a really neat way to produce gamified art. Anything you post is elevated by its interaction with the audience. It’s oddly similar to social media in a way, since you upload images to use as the background. But can be a lot more intimate when you interact with an post rather then be a passive observer. That’s before you begin to actually make a game, and there are plenty of creative examples of that.

Remember creating things on the internet? Remember HyperCard? Remember feeling like you had a stake in making a cool personal space online and then sharing it with friends and strangers and they would tell you “hey! this space! very cool!”? These are the things I remembered immediately upon starting up Downpour, and I’m sure I’ll remember a lot more as I go.

I like that you can just use pictures from your phone! Fun little game maker
