Gunmetalrats is

an as of now solo creative umbrella project by Packrat, with the purpose to craft and release digital things for you to interact with; things built with love and feelings, like this website you're viewing right now.

Projects?

Currently there is a single project going through the stages of R&D. There have been attempts to release it as far back as 2021. Unfortunately as a solo project, there is one guy doing the graphics, code, tool development, art direction, asset creation, gameplay design, all while acting as webmaster here. This one guy never graduated high school.

Mission statement

I love free digital self-expression. I want to see online interactivity return from a hard drug mainlined into our neural pathways back to the culturally enriching experience it could have, can be, and is if you know where to look.
That is the primary function of this project, to show the indie web isn't a dead end, and to show you don't need giant corporations to platform your existence in cyberspace, nor to define what you think and stand for.

As a way to help serve that purpose, we have a list of links to cool websites for your viewing pleasure. If you know a website that ought to be featured, email me and it may be added in the near future.
It can be fun, informative, or any kind of abstract art form. What's important is it embodies some virtue inherent of a world wide web away from predators: self-expression, free sharing of accurate and useful information, or raw creativity unhindered by "being cringe".

Please email me if you find any issues with the site detailing the problem, the browser (user agent), machine, window size and scale/zoom. A lot of work's gone into making this site as responsive as possible with as little resources as possible, but I'm not perfect.
