PortGames Port Project Index
Collect and organize community game port projects for easy discovery by game and platform
- Problem
- As native game porting barriers drop, a surge of community port projects appears, but information is scattered across forums and GitHub, making it hard for players to find usable projects by game or platform and know preparation steps.
- Solution
- Build an index site that catalogs community port projects by game and platform, showing project source, required preparation, and links to original projects, helping players quickly understand and participate.
- Users
- Players who enjoy ported games on mobile or non-native platforms, port project developers
- MVP
- Manually curate 50-100 port projects from GitHub and forums; filter by game name and platform; each project shows summary, required files, and original link; provide submission form
- Revenue
- Free site monetized through gaming affiliate marketing, sponsored slots, or paid featured listings
- Why now
- AI lowers the technical barrier to game porting, community projects are booming, but there is no aggregation entry point. An indie developer can build an index cheaply and accumulate traffic.
