About ipe() Games

play.ipe.rest is the home of the games made by ipe() (ipe Studio). It brings four games together in one place: Iltonggi, Inkisle, Sunmeld and Claimball. Each game has its own official site, linked from its card on the home page.

What this portal is for

None of the four games is released yet, and none has a store page. This site says so on purpose. It shows what each game is, what you will probably like about it, and who it is not for, so that you can decide whether it is worth your break.

How the games are made

ipe is short for idle process: the state a processor settles into when there is nothing left to do. The games follow five principles, listed on the home page: short rounds that fit a break, few rules and deep reading, a quiet app, saying what is true (including what is not), and an AI that plays fair.

Every game keeps a public making-of, so you can follow how it is built and what is not finished yet.

Who makes it

The games and this portal are made by Davy Kim (ipe Studio). ipe() is a small AI-native studio, and it says openly where it uses AI. The studio home is ipe.rest. Its other product is idle, calm lo-fi music, at idle.ipe.rest.

ipe() is not related to ipe / ipê hardwood.
