>I also miss how easy it was to make and share flash games in the old days. Hosting web games nowadays is much more of a hassle than it appears at first
So, I found an answer to this plea. Decker is an extremely good modern HyperCard reimagining that retains every bit of its charm and multiplies its power by over 9000.
Moreover, you can export your deck to a single, self-contained HTML file you could for example "host" on a catbox.
As long as you don't mind 1-bit B&W or retro quantized color, this is incredible for VN, point and click kind of material. Not so much for animations, although they are possible.
