Side projects, web-based experiments, RCs, betas and random ideas from DXN1 Studios. Everything here is free — no API keys needed; the plumbing is provided, quietly. No “next big AI lab” pitch either — just small, honest experiments. The first one is live now: Fieldway, a fast 2D game maker that runs in your browser.
Experiment 001 is out of the lab and live: Fieldway — describe a small 2D game in one sentence, and it gets built right in your browser. Play it, tweak it in plain words, download it. Free, no keys, no sign-up. The next slots fill when another sketch survives the bench.
One sentence in, a playable game out. Fieldway builds small 2D browser games — HTML, CSS and JS — right on the page: play them instantly in a sandboxed preview, ask for changes in plain words (“make it harder”, “add sound”), then download the files. It can even check the web for mechanics worth borrowing. No installs, no keys, no sign-up — and it only ever talks game-making.
The next experiment is a sketch in the open — no name, no clues. The lab announces things when they’re real.
No fake roadmaps, no vaporware. If it shows up here, it already runs.
The lab is small on purpose — one person, few experiments, all honest.
Discover our latest experiments and help shape what comes next. Get early access, share your feedback, and help turn these sketches into the things worth keeping — the same way the labs you know and love do it, run DXN1 style.
Everything here grows out of public repos and public notes. You can watch the messy middle, not just the launch post.
Everything the lab makes is free — and stays free. No pricing tiers, no sign-ups, no “bring your own key”: the plumbing is provided for you behind the scenes. You open the page and it works.
Early users aren’t customers — they’re co-experimenters. What you break and what you love decides what graduates.
One thing is officially playable today: Fieldway, experiment 001. It’s a beta — expect rough edges, and keep expectations humble on purpose: no “next Claude” pitch, no AGI keynote — small, web-based experiments, free and keyless, and everything here can change or disappear without notice.
Experiments follow one honest path. The ones that pass the quality bar and are worth keeping go public — with weekly–monthly updates from then on. The rest get shut down, publicly and without drama.
Ideas get built in the open: ugly early commits, public wins, public failures. No secret roadmaps.
Survivors move into the lab: free to try, unstable on purpose, improving in public. You are early — that’s the point.
Passes the quality bar and worth keeping? It goes public: free, no API keys, with weekly–monthly updates from day one.
Not up to standard? Updates stop and the experiment moves to the graveyard below — public, dated, no drama.
In, or out — never limbo.
Every experiment here starts as a bold idea on a bench. The ones that pass the quality bar — and are worth keeping — outgrow the lab, go public, and keep getting weekly–monthly updates. When that happens, it’s announced right here.
Fieldway is the first resident — it graduates when it passes the quality bar and is worth keeping. Graduates get announced here first.
Passing the quality bar means a real public release, a real name, and weekly–monthly updates. Free, obviously.
Early feedback decides what graduates. Break things, say what you love — it steers the verdict.
Lab betas might get 1–10 updates — then they’re done. If something doesn’t hit our quality standard, it doesn’t linger as a zombie beta: it retires to this graveyard, in public, right here. The docs site stays for shipped things — the graveyard lives on the lab site.
The graveyard is empty. Fieldway is alive and young, two sections up.
When the quality bar isn’t met, it’s buried here with a date and a reason — no quiet deletions.
Expect web-based tools, RCs and betas — small ideas treated seriously, finished or buried fast.
The whole deal in four lines. Same rules for every experiment, no matter how small.
Every experiment, every update, every graduate: zero cost. Not “free for now” free — just free.
Never a key wall, never a sign-up. The plumbing is provided for you, quietly, behind the scenes.
Lab betas get a handful of updates — then a verdict: keep, or bury. No zombie projects on life support.
Passes the quality bar and worth keeping? It goes public and gets steady weekly-to-monthly updates.
DXN1 is a one-man studio — for now. One pair of hands designs, builds, tests and ships every experiment on this page, so updates arrive when they’re genuinely ready, not on a content schedule. Slow is deliberate here: fewer updates, each one actually finished.
Experiments announce the moment they’re real — right here, free, no keys. Two ways to be early:
Never miss a new experiment — commits, failures and drops all land in public first. The messy middle is the show.
