You can't predict which game idea will be huge next. But you can validate your game ideas. I've been thinking a lot about this topic and we recorded a best practices video about it. Let me know what you think. https://t.co/tXmJ3lXt39

@Kaegun @codecks_io awesome to hear! we should build one as well eventually. are you planning to open source?

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

@DysnomiaGames I tried that but it was less fun for me personally. Might have revisit that though. Maybe as a pro-mode.

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

As game dev I'm constantly thinking about what makes a Steam game successful. To train my own intuition I built a weird little game where you have to guess Steam review counts from screenshots + description. Got 370 points today. Check it out https://t.co/Aji3i2oOOe

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

Over 25k guesses have been made on https://t.co/BvCXzVB0PD since I announced it a week ago. 😮

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

@DysnomiaGames Pretty good!

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

I released a smol Steam review guessing game! You asked for the ability to play previous days, so I added it! Enjoy beeating those scores and discovering some new Steam gems. https://t.co/BvCXzVB0PD

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

Over 1,000 sessions have been played on https://t.co/BvCXzVByFb today. Glad to see other devs and game fans finding this useful. 😊

@shatterspine oh heck, thanks for letting me know

@shatterspine @JonasTyroller Also yes it will be interesting to collect data on what people guess. Maybe eventually I could mix in speculative games, just to see what people would think in terms of market viability

[Riad Djemili 🍍 @riadd]

@shatterspine @JonasTyroller First insight: there are A LOT of sex games on steam which we never see as German devs since they are mostly region blocked 😅

@roope_korpela Not bad!
