He was devastated when his favorite Facebook game shut down, but at 10 years old, what could he do? 8 years later, he's got the rights, the original code, and is about to relaunch Dungeon Rampage on Steam

The Dungeon Rampage code was rescued from a child's laptop thanks to a group effort spearheaded by Greek teenager Angelos Mako.

Read this online and thought it was a nice story of video game preservation/resurrection.

A general gaming community for Piefed.

More games, less memes, no outrage culture.

Rules

Stay civil.
Debate ideas, not people. No personal attacks, no flame wars. More info here.
This is not a gamer identity space.
We don’t self-identify as “gamers.” Games are art, not a lifestyle brand. If your whole identity is about consumption, you’ll probably feel out of place here.
Talk about games as art.
Discussion should focus on design, ideas, and creative choices. What does this game say? What are the consequences of its mechanics? What does its aesthetic communicate?
No discrimination.
Prejudice, bigotry, or harassment of any kind will get you removed.
No spam.
Keep discussion meaningful. Don’t flood with promos or off-topic noise.
Stay on topic.
This space is for discussion of games as creative works, not for tech support, low-effort memes, or console wars.
Evolving rules.
These rules may change as the community grows and we refine what works.
