Welcome home, online

When I first started making web-based experiences in 2000, good experiences looked like little virtual worlds like Habbo Hotel; you had a place to go, treasure hunts and rewards, and a home for community members to congregate.

Then, for a while, all anybody wanted was things that looked like cold, minimal rental properties; Web 2.0 chic, all-white Apple circa-2012.

Thankfully, what was old is new again. Sites like the Mortiverse site, designed to be a place to return to once again, where fun is encouraged, and discovery is rewarded.

We sold our ‘homes’ for ‘cool’…

But one community at a time, we’ll see new online homes built.

Welcome home.
