Platform

Stack

Jekyll static site (existing dergigi.com). Games landing page is a first-class route under the existing layout system with scoped styles.

Users

Primary: Gigi’s existing audience (Bitcoin/nostr readers and followers) discovering kid-friendly pixel games he ships with his daughter. Secondary: kids and parents who land on a game URL or the /games hub and want something playable immediately, preferably installable on a phone.

Product Purpose

/games is a hub that gets someone into one of the two live games fast. Success is a visitor starting Fly Pingu Fly or Unicorn vs Snakes within seconds, with a clear path to install either as a PWA and to find more of Gigi’s work via /projects.

Positioning

These are small pixel games designed with a child, published as installable PWAs at custom subdomains. The hub is not an app store or a generic indie-game portfolio; it is a personal playground that sends people straight into play.

Operating Context

Visitors arrive from game footers (dergigi.com/games), the projects page, nostr, or shared links. They play in the browser; both games support PWA install for a quasi-native home-screen experience. The site uses the existing dergigi.com header and footer.

Capabilities and Constraints

  • Keep site header and footer.
  • Stay inside Jekyll (no separate SPA framework).
  • Link back to /projects.
  • Live games: Fly Pingu Fly (https://pingu.dergigi.com, source dergigi/fly-pingu-fly) and Unicorn vs Snakes (https://unicorn.dergigi.com, source dergigi/unicorn-vs-snakes).
  • Both are installable PWAs.
  • Do not invent claims about platforms, stores, ratings, or download counts.

Brand Commitments

  • Name: dergigi / Gigi
  • Voice: direct, human, lightly playful; not corporate game-marketing
  • Family credit: games made with / designed by daughter where already stated on projects
  • Existing game art and screenshots are the real visual proof
  • /games matches dergigi.com aesthetics: same dark site chrome, Lora/Roboto, page layout grammar as Projects/Contact. Clean indie-games hub, no separate product brand or flashy portal skin.

Evidence on Hand

  • Live games and GitHub repos above
  • Project banners: assets/images/bitcoin/projects/fly-pingu-fly.png, assets/images/bitcoin/projects/unicorn-vs-snakes.png
  • Projects copy for both games on projects.md

Product Principles

  • Play first: the next action is always starting a game.
  • Truthful credit: keep the daughter-made origin visible without turning it into a pitch deck.
  • Personal site grammar: this hub belongs to dergigi.com, not a detached product brand.
  • Install is secondary proof, not the headline.
  • No fabricated social proof.
