I think this definitely must be controlled by a community, because, as you correctly said, different people care about different things. Maybe it should be some kind of consensus or voting for different types of ethical problems, idk.
For now, I have no idea how such calculations can be done to be actually "fair", I'm just proposing a topic for discussion. But, in my opinion, this shouldn't be done by one person - that's for sure.
I see, thanks for your opinion, I will definitely take that into account. I also find Criticker not that useful, although I have less rates than you have (around 400 rated things). And as you, I also believe that trying to compare me to other people to find "commons" - it's not the best ways ot do recommendations.
Thanks again for that 3-4-3 system, I started doing my research yesterday, pretty sure it will end up implemented in Gamescovery until the beta.
Well, currently, you must enter every game you played manually. I don't read games from users' account because I don't want to deal with private data for now. I only ask the game store that the user chose to give me the user avatar and public name, and confirm that "yes, this user is registered on our platform and account valid".
After that, I use id that the store gave me to connect you to what games you manually rated on Gamescovery and what games were recommended to you by Gamescovery.
Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, I agree that the project should have something more than just Discord. I just thought Discord is quite popular among gamers. I will think about Matrix or Lemmy in the future.
About the account - well, I need an account to be able to record what games you rated and what recommendations you currently have. Otherwise, I have no idea for now how I can show correct data to correct people. I decided to allow people to register with game store accounts because that's easier for me to implement.
Theoretically, I can allow users to be in the "offline" mode, so all their data is stored locally. Data will be lost if you, well, remove it by yourself, or your computer drive dies. The only note is that the recommendation algorithm is not open-source, so you still need to send your data to the server to get new recommendations...
Anyway, thanks for the idea, I will think about it 👍
Hi, can you please elaborate?
without an account - do you mean without itch.io account (Steam, Epic, GOG etc. in the future)? If yes - would you prefer to register a new account on the Gamescovery webpage that is specific to Gamescovery?
without Discord - do you mean that you don't like Discord and would like to communicate with developers/users on another platform? If yes - what platform suits you best in your opinion?
Hi, maybe I chose incorrect words, but under a "vision" I meant "better ways to do my job, better ways to help others to do their job, and better/new ways for company/project be more successful in different business metrics".
I agree that my own company would be the best case, but that's easier said than done, unfortunately.
Hi, yeah, I 100% agree and I plan to involve potential clients in the product asap. Currently, I'm finishing of the implementation of an alpha version of my product that will be pitched to a potential customers.
Hi, thanks for advices, I definitely need go answer those questions before I continue moving forward
Hi, thanks for your advice. I think that 2 people will do more than one too. Unfortunately, for now I didn't find a person who is interested to become my partner for my current project.
Hi, hmm, I think that's almost the tool I had in mind. So if sonarqube exists, I guess there is no need for another tool in the same area. Thanks for sharing
Hi, can you share an example?
Well, I agree, but it will require a lot of resources and people to handle different areas. + I think gamedev is really behind other industries right now. And I'm personally interested in the game development industry becoming better.
