LOVEWEB

i LOVE LOVEWEB. it's not just a website - the main draw is the animated series of the same name. the AI voices can be a bit off putting i will admit, but it's SO GOOD. a very lovable disection of various internet things

dimden's hotel

a very nice website with a lot of neat stuff on it (i love the photo gallery). dimden also creates a lot of cool projects, like the navlink ads that i feature on my site! dimden's discord server also has a nice sense of community... i don't chat there much, but i like it :)

phrogee

this site makes me :) idk i just love the vibe so much <3

melankorin

not much content, but it has a really nice monochrome style. also has some interesting blogs

RUNEGOD

a comic artist. i quite like their comic PAENDEMIC despite RUNEGOD's warnings that "THIS IS CRINGE!" - and i have to agree with them that it is extremely slopy in many aspects, espeically in the later half. it kinda gets worse the more you think about it, but still think it some very strong qualities, and i can't deny that i got pretty sucked in reading it. although, i'd imagine RUNEGOD would hope they are better known for anything but PAENDEMIC, heheh. so maybe, for their sake, you should check out some of their other stuff.

Twelve Men

this site is really weird and unconventional, but i like it alot. has a lot of interesting / bizarre content on it

LOBOKONI

has super cute and cool and good comics and games and stuff aaaaaa i love tihs

amapy.cc

!!!!!!!!!!! really nice looking layout. their between pools comic only has 1 chapter but it seems interesting..... i will be keeping an eye on it

site from the creator of I Wanna Be The Guy !!!!!!!!!!

has some really good writing, i especially like they're article on yesterweb

madeinv

aNOTHER fgc person (wowie!!!!) but also this is i think the only site that uses pink as the primary color that i actually like. i also enjoy the blog on this site... pretty good!!

14.4mL

wow blue!!! i've probably browsed several thousand sites and this point and i have to admit a lot of them kinda blend together... but this one stands out as unique! tons of sites go for a kinda "dark mode" colorscheme (me), so seeing a site that pretty much does the opposite is cool. also.... a tracker musician?!?! on neocities?!?!? no way

an extremely good artist seriously holly molly

fantasy(?) background artist..... woah. very impressive.

Cloverbell

the comfiest website on neocities :3

freelance illustrator and tattoo artist that you can commission???? crazy

webcatz

WOAH idk what it is about the look of this site but it really appeals to me..... mmm tasty colors.

omoulo

i really relate to this person's struggle with social media addiction, and i found her blog really insightful.

CharlieWorld

cute lil' website. i love the blogs and stuff

Saikyo Central for R&D!

fighting game enthusiast (:o) and generally nice looking site. coolio!

Doctor Rosalia

neocities' resident bedman main. good looking site, too!

NENRIKIDO

i usually don't like sites that are styled after a desktop OS, but this one manages to stand out enough to look good. it also has a lot of really good info about web development. i am definitely using those reusable web components when i redesign my site!!

Phantasmagorial

really not much here but it's super chilled out, very good looking site
NOTE: currently 'under construction' as of july 28th. not sure what happened but i hope it comes back!

NinAcTi0N's Lab

there's not much, but what is there is extremely stylish

very skilled pixel artist

Super Durdge-o Land

the site itself looks kinda bad in my opinion, but the content is AMAZING. the front page used to say they are a "full time winner" and they mean it -- they are an artist, game dev, fighting game enthusiast, what more could you want!?!?

ODDITYCOMODITTY

a very messy, but cool site, filled to the brim with gifs and images

incessantpain

writing. most interesting in my opinion was they're writing about japan

kwaamfan

cute

fleepy

cool programmer person. makes some nice music as well

doqmeat

pretty flowery and cute site

derrek

honestly what made this site stick in my head is just that intro video hehe.... although it hasn't been updated in like a year so. idk still a neat site.

kidwiththechemicalz

has a cool retro aesthetic. algunas partes son en español.

PROJECT NEBULA

a website hosting an ongoing series of comics for Crown of the Beast, and original character tournament. admitedly i have no idea how that even works, but i read one of the comics and i thought it was pretty cool :)

lolwut?

the personal website of an old 4chan user, with all the pros and cons that brings. WARNING: offensive language (slurs)

tiny place in space

very cozy and easy on the eyes

princss

has this really neat low res look. mainly centered around the creator's blog

The Cidoku Network

a neat website with a very nice looking monochrome aesthetic. actually, there's three total colors but... whatever!

KROMER COIN

spamton themed website

Pudding's Cove

definitely not the most advanced but it's really charming. i love the secrets!!

cool pixel artist....

idk it's in japanese, but it look pretty :)

Koyo

the minimalist design isn't my favorite, but this has some cool content (they're game "viral" actually looks quite good!) and the best manifesto of all time

KRIS-SCAPES

red :)
in all seriousness though, it looks REALLY GOOD but there's not much content

Tiglerlilyblues

i love omori too much to not include this site hehe

Koyo

este sito es buena practique de español para mi.
(entonces, no se porque dices 'para' y no por acá...)

website of mady thorson, the director of celeste

website from the developer of baba is you and environmental station alpha

the website of holly, a game developer (we are now in a post-icy era)

like /r/place, but with text. you can access different 'worlds' by going to yourworldoftext.com/[put anything here]. go to /~NonGMOTrash and put something funny :)
WARNING: not moderated, you will probably see offensive stuff (although most places aren't too bad in my experience)

an ongoing /r/place clone. it's much bigger and takes place on a map of the earth
WARNING: not moderated, you WILL see offensive stuff

a strange site filled with surreal imagery. i think it has some deeper meaning behind it but i honestly don't really get it. still, i can appreciate the experience of just exploring the site.

shows a random video every refresh. it's very... interesting
WARNING: it is random, so some stuff is going to be offensive

the site for a revival of a very old (15+ years?) TF2 server that runs a 4chan map called harbl_hotel i was actually able to catch one of their meetups (on accident)... it was certainly an experience
feb 11 2024: the site seems to be down? might come back up, idk
WARNING: heavily influenced by 4chan, some offensive stuff

multiplayer piano. i don't play, but this is awesome!!!!!

life changing

(─‿‿─)

a bunch of textures, many of which i used for this site's backgrounds! also, it's another site made by MELONKING

a bunch of wacky cursors

a search engine to find old geocities gifs

generate death screens (or other things) from classic videogames with custom text

very useful

easy and free way to make a guestbook for your site with plenty of customization

a collection of 88x31 buttons

moar

allows you to easily make a TF2 weapon idea

a site where anyone can upload sounds. the quality can varry greatly, but there's some good stuff on here and it's where i got most of the sounds for my game teralite.

another site for sound effects, though this one is curated. as a result, the average quality is much higher, but there's less variety.

a site to practice quick maths

a resource for old gifs and images

the most mesmerizing thing on the web: a button that increments when pressed. syncs between all websites that feature it.

it has like, every genre ever with examples taken from spotify. good resource for finding new types of music.

good

exactly what it says on the tin. offers some really good insight, i think.

perfect programming language

make animated text gifs, like the funny burning text

allows you to design a pixel 9-patch css border

shows you what your website will look like on many different screen sizes. useful for seeing how comically unresponsive your site is.

gud

gud

gud

the creator of spelunky has pixel art tutorials!!! there's more than this, this is just the first article

¡tengo hambre muy!

funzy

really good if you're getting into fighting games. contains definitions for FGC terms and slang for all the major games

a MASSIVE collection of neocities buttons and sites, all of them tagged.

indepth information about how you can get started in game development, created by Pirate Software

very good resource / community about making websites.

not a good starting point if you have no idea how to make a website, but if you're got the basics down and want to learn some more advanced tips and stuff, there's a lot of great stuff here.

a tool to make earthbound style battle backgrounds.

cool....

give it any artist and it will spit out some similar artists

a rating site for guilty gear strive!! basically it scans all replays from public matches and uses them to give you an accurate numerical rating using glicko-2, which is a lot more accurate than tower placements...

browser game that teaches you how to use css flex boxes

this is what i used to "port" my articles from google docs to an html file. it's not 100% perfect and will require you to make the css yourself and probably also manually touch up the html a bit, but it's still a huge time saver. i used to manually write all the tags and paste into them manually, which took foreeeever.

this is a book that explains how to set up and use the """"ideal"""" editor: vscode with a neovim plugin. i don't actually use vscode, just neovim, but i think the explanations on how to use vim is very well put.

a incredibly extensive, sorted plugin list. seriously yutkat, you're insane..... i used to use vimawesome.com but this is way better.

put in any recipe and it will cut out the garbage and give you the just the actual recipe

it's mod for deltarune chapter 1, but it's so transformative that it's essentially an original game. it's a very interesting combination of memes and an actual serious narative. the story definitely isn't perfect, but the game is very well made, and absolutely hilarious.

a traditional roguelike that's very easy to get into and has a good amount of depth in it's combat.

a traditional roguelike with ascii graphics (though there is a tileset you can use). while it is certainly accessible in comparison to it's contemporaries, it's still pretty daunting if you are only used to the modern genre-mashup roguelikes. however, some of the emergent story telling that can happen is pretty impressive. if you want to get into old school roguelikes, this is the game i would point you to.
the final version from the original creator is 1.7.5, but the community has continued with bug fixes and improvements through the community edition, which is what i recomend you play.

an rpg maker game by Temmie Chang (the artist of undertale). the story and characters are quite engaging and the soundtrack, composed by Camellia, Toby Fox, and Temmie, is amazing. the art is pretty good to.

a charming, highly polished arcade twin stick shooter. there's two versions, the free itch version and the deluxe version on steam which i admitedly haven't played.

a visual novel about a shutin who tries to sever off his negative emotions into a clone of himself. it's not exactly high art, but the scenario is interesting and the writing was pretty funny.

a really good 2d top down souls like. i'm suprised it's free.

a jam game about escaping a maze with the "help" of a minotaur

a jam game. it's a pretty generic auto runner, but executed extremely well.

mastapiece.

not a game, but a minecraft modpack. however, it's so transformative that it really feels like it's own game. the stand out feature is the invasions: waves of mobs will show up and literally break into your base, forcing you to actually consider defense when constructing your home. this pack is considered fairly difficult - i didn't get far in it myself.

[$5 USD]
it's a turn based fighting game that produces extremely stylish replays. it boasts a great deal of depth, expressive and flashy combos, and a big modding scene to boot. there's a free beta on itch, but it's 6+ months out of date so i recomend you just buy the steam version.

this is a very good, but very incomplete single player fighting game. i'd always wanted to make a game like this, so when i found it i was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes! that! it is, however, indevelopment. story / progression / whatever isn't really there yet, so it feels kind of aimless. the optimization is also quite bad. but it's really cool trust me!!!! also gets updated every friday. very good dev lol

a very good scratch game made by Gokanaru's little brother for a highschool project.

a really tight platformer -- small, but extremely good for what it is

an extremely tightly designed RPG maker game. the art is obviously lacking, but the gameplay and narrative are pristine and it is brave enough not to waste your time.

i try to limit it to 1 video per channel maximum

2kilksphilip's experience making games throughout his childhood. i find the experiences he shares to be extremely relatable and insightful. this series is a fantastic glimpse into what game development really feels like.

definitely not me

very good article that details how extrinsic rewards are often a crutch in game design. specifically, it details what klei entertainment discovered when prototyping don't starve.

I don't have anything to prove. I am a human being, and I'm hypocritical.

NOTE: i can't link directly to the specific blog, click the bottom-most blog entry on the right panel.
i really resonated with this. like, to a painful degree.

for real!!

i have kind of a morbid fascination with reading people's last statements before they die...

.

i think about this article a lot..

the best about me ever made. while kind of a joke, this perfectly encapsulates my feelings on being "professional"
