The NEW Explorable Explanations hub!
🕑 Added 2017-08-31 19:03:12 +0000 UTC If you liked my interactive learn-by-playing thingies, you might like my new, new Explorable Explanations site, released today!EXPLORABL.ES: a hub for learning through play
It's got 80+ examples, 16 interactive "minigames", and best of all: a list of tools & tutorials so you can make your own explorable explanation! (also, this is the first site I've made that actually looks not awful on mobile. hooray!)
And unlike the old website, which I hadn't updated in two years, I've built this one to be easily editable. So if you have a recommendation for a game/interactive to add to the Explorables site, please -- let me know! :)

Patreon Housekeeping Shtuff:
Hey peeps who picked the $5+/month reward tier! I converted your names into Polygons, and you can download 'em as avatars/transparents over here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ncase-rewards/aug-2017-polygons/index.html
And for $10+/month reward tier peeps, I sent out a survey this morning asking for a ref photo to draw your character! (If you didn't get the email, check your Spam folder, and check which email your Patreon's linked with -- and if the mail's still not there, please let me know!)
And for $2+/month "name in the credits" peeps -- because the Explorables hub is a collective project, I didn't feel comfortable putting any credits directly on the site: heck, even my name isn't on the site! However, the site links to a "full credits" page, which is also the page for the open-source code. You're all here! https://github.com/explorableexplanations/explorableexplanations.github.io#explorable-explanations
But: to everyone, all supporters & fans, I just want to say: thank you. <3 It's been deeply meaningful seeing my interactive works reach millions of people, get used in classrooms, and inspire others to learn more or create their own explorables! I regret not having invested more in the Explorables website & community earlier, but hey, better late than never.
UP NEXT: It's September tomorrow! (or, today, depending on your time zone) My birthday is the 11th of next month. Also next month + maybe October, I'll be doing that "personal game jam" where I make a lot of small little experiments.
I'll write more about that later! But for now, thank you so much. I honestly am deeply grateful for the opportunity you -- you -- have given me. I mean, holy shit my Patreon's actually covering my food and rent, that is wild. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Ah, sorry for the wall of text. Again. I'll see you next month!
Best Fishes,
~ Nicky Case

This is perfect! After playing The Evolution of Trust (and instantly starting donating) I wanted to find if there was a similar game and the site allowed to find Parable of the Polygons, and I liked it ^o^
