Why RookieGamers exists

RookieGamers is a web game portal for indie games. Games are free to play in the browser, with nothing to install. Every game on the portal is built on one shared player account, one level and one Hall of Fame, and each game can point players to another one when a round ends, so a new game does not have to find its audience alone.

What we believe

We want to remove the barriers to entry into the creative arts and let indie developers publish, whether they use AI or not. Some makers write every line by hand. Some work with an AI assistant. Some let an agent do most of the building. All of them are welcome here.

We see AI as a tool that can open game making to more people, and we would rather build for it than around it.

Where we are going

Our aim is to be an integrated plugin for indie game makers, reachable over MCP from the AI assistants they already use, such as ChatGPT, Grok and, later, Claude. Part of that groundwork exists today: a public MCP server and setup guides for some AI coding tools. See AI and RookieGamers for what exists now and what is still planned.

For players

Every game is free to play. Your RookieGamers account, for people 13 and up, saves your scores and earns gems for each social network you link. Wallets are optional, for players 18 and up, and are not live yet. Every game plays without one.

For makers

Read For creators for how publishing is designed to work, then Publish for setup and SDK docs for the reference.
