## Complete Description

Following the breakout success of Booom.ai and the rapid rise of AI-powered games, we helped Playroom build AIGames.gg (later rebranded as dpad.ai) as a dedicated discovery platform for the growing ecosystem of AI-native games—one of the first AI game directories, before they became commonplace.

At a time when AI gaming was still fragmented and difficult to discover, the platform gave developers a place to showcase projects and players a way to explore the next generation of interactive entertainment, and vote on their favorite ones to bring them to the top.

Built with Next.js static site generation for exceptional performance, the platform combined a clean neobrutalist design system with fluid Framer Motion animations and transitions, creating an experience that felt more like a modern product than a traditional content site.

Behind the scenes, we developed a complete publishing and monetization system, including a completely custom admin panel for content management, paid submissions, editorial workflows like Editor's Picks, and post creation.
