Dear Hacker News, I'm kindly asking for your participation in the open beta for my AI-managed mini-games website. Thank you in advance! For a limited time window, I'm setting the all-free feature flag to true. I hope you have a lot of fun exploring the AI's sense for games! Here and there, I tweaked it to help with visual consistency. I would be deeply grateful if you opted into analytics. $2,300 in API tokens... Cheers!

Hey HN, I’m the solo developer of Search to Play, a social bookmarking platform for gamers — kind of like Letterboxd or Goodreads, but for video games. You can log your games, track your backlog, write reviews, and follow others. I’m building this as an alternative to spreadsheet tracking or platform-locked tools (Steam, PSN, etc). Would love your feedback! Happy to answer any questions here.

Hi HN! I've built a web that takes your Steam game library and generates a 3D city from it. Games become buildings, playtime determines height. So your most-played game is a massive tower and that game you impulse-bought during a sale and never touched is basically a parking garage. There's also a world view where every player's library is a building on a shared map. About 7k people on it right now, you can fly around the whole thing. You can try this on https://thesteamcity.com Built with Next.js, React Three Fiber, and Supabase. Works on mobile too. Hope you like it!

To get all this data first I tried using Google's Custom Search JSON API but it was too expensive that way, later I found a Kaggle dataset that has info about 110K games -including number of positive and negative reviews- so I used that instead. That amount should be almost half all the games Steam has, (according to an article on Backlinko, Steam's US library "contains 239,558 titles across all categories -including DLC, soundtracks, mods, etc.-"). SteamDB estimates that there must be around ~118,000 full games on Steam so far. In the process of scrapping I discovered that a few hundred of…
