ABOUT GAMEMYSELF

I make games designed to be played anywhere without worrying about tracking, downloads, making yet another account, or getting a call about surfing an inappropriate website. I have been wanting to make an online game portal since I was young. Back then I made a few Flash games but never published any. I would play these online browser Flash games like helicopter and tower defense and loved playing these games. This is a lifelong ambition that has finally begun to come to fruition with GameMyself. Most game portals syndicate the same catalog of licensed games you'll find on a hundred other sites. I don't. Every game here is one I made for this site.

The games are supposed to be safe to play at work, at school, or waiting in line or at the doctor's office. The games are of the classic retro style, mostly 2D overhead games. They are made to be mostly casual and can play as a quick game. There are no save states and the games aren't meant to be long and drawn out, but instead a quick session for some much needed entertainment in a boring day. I try to publish a new game about once a week.

Let's be honest, the GameMyself name came about because it was the only available domain I connected with. The name spoke to me with all of the playful ways it can be expressed. "Go ahead, game yourself." "Excuse me, I'm gonna go game myself." This diversion from being bored and wanting to go play a game by myself right now really quick is the premise of my website.

The idea expanded into a place where people can come and submit their own game ideas. This is a unique quality for the site, and visitors are encouraged to submit ideas for games on the contact page. The more details given the better. If I have time and if the game is appropriate for the site, then I will publish it. If a name or handle is given, I will give credit to the person and mark their name in the game. If an email is provided, I may reach out and ask to collaborate on the vision and test the game before publishing.
