66RPG
66RPG is the Chinese game-making forum [[WuJunIndieGameCreator|巫君]] names in EP242 独立游戏,是一条搞钱好赛道吗? as an early entry point into game creation. The source says the community later became [[ProjectOneForum|Project One论坛]] and was strongly associated with RPG Maker-based hobby projects.
Its role is to show that independent games did not begin only when Steam lowered publishing friction. Earlier forums already provided examples, open projects, peer feedback, and a social environment where students and amateurs could learn by opening, modifying, and sharing small games.
