Been working on a games curation site that is focused on hyper specific themes (https://exhibitplay.com/). I find game genres to be so broad, which makes discovery a boring process. My idea is to take a curatorial approach and make collections that highlight the themes that exist within genres.
It's pretty simple, JSON data that I manually fill out and display in a grid. Takes some inspiration from Letterboxd lists. Future plan is to run online and in-person exhibitions for smaller curation and to commission writers and other curators to provide further depth and insight into a list.
I have no plans to turn this into a profitable thing. It's a pure passion project which I hope will benefit researchers, academics, other curators, and the whole game community. It's a resource as much as it is a celebration.
