Happy 2023 — Kongregate.com is Back!

We took a huge step in 2022 by implementing the Flash emulator Ruffle onto Kongregate.com. With this amazing tech, we were able to bring thousands of Flash games back to the site. As a thank you to Ruffle, we became a Diamond-level sponsor, donating $5000 to support their cause, with a recurring $500 monthly contribution as well. We are proud to partner with this great group of developers to help bring Flash games back to life! But that’s not all! We’re relaunching Kongregate.com in 2023, brin

Rebranding: Look to Your Core — A Product Design Perspective

Many people consider branding (or in our case, rebranding) to be all about the “new look”. But the most significant changes for us as a company are happening on an internal level.
