Playing games in your web browser is one of the classic ways people played games in the 90's and early 2000s. Games as simple as tower defense flash games, huge statistical economic games, play-by-post games on internet forums, even Neopets was wildly successful.
But, as technology evolves, so does the gaming medium. Players moved from flash games to Steam, forums became obsolete, and IRC became Discord in time. Two developers, both working on separate browser games, are trying to harken back to the days of old, as well as keep these games up with modern trends.
