Reflect Games started as a project among a group of friends who'd never met each other in person, but had a common goal: to create an online account system that could be used by a number of games, to let gamers (primarily from the GameMaker community), play games together without much fuss. That system was the Reflect Games Account System, and it served many thousands of gamers well over the years.
As the members of the original team moved on to other projects – and other phases of life – Reflect Games was still maintained, improved, and updated, and took on a number of games – most notably a handful of games by one of its founding members, Martin Crownover (who went on to found Massive Catapult Creative) and Wanderlust, which quickly became the most popular game on the service.
We have many fond memories of building and playing games with the community during the more popular times. Many of us made friendships that still last from back then, and we'll never forget the fun we had.
Unfortunately, the time has come for us to end the Reflect Games service. We wish we could provide this service forever, so all the games that utilized it over the years could continue working like they should, but sadly we can no longer devote the time and effort it takes to properly maintain this service.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this community a fun place to play – and just hang out – over the years. We aren't going away completely, and we will continue hosting the games we always have here, as well as provide new experiences when the time is right.
We hope you have the same fond memories we do, and we hope to see you again in the future.
