ResidualPlay

What it does

Paste any Steam game and get its estimated revenue, audience and full history. Free; no sign-up to browse. We measure the whole catalog daily and isolate 993 games still earning with zero owner activity, verified three ways (studio silence + dead domain + no franchise): acquisition targets nobody is watching. Built agent-first: full API, MCP server, agent skills, and live x402 micropayments for bulk data.

What every Steam game actually earns: net revenue, audience and full history for the whole catalog, re-measured daily. Free, no sign-up.

Net revenue, audience and full history for every game on Steam, including the 392 titles nobody's behind anymore, still earning $219.3k a month . Free, no sign-up. A game goes unclaimed only when the signals agree: no studio activity in three years, a website dead or parked, no franchise heir. Not a guess: a checklist you can audit, on every single verdict. The radar only works because we measure the whole catalog: net revenue to the studio, after VAT, refunds and Steam's cut. Every row is a page you can open. ● unclaimed = still earning with no studio behind it. Every verdict shows its evidence. Steam-purchase reviews only, keys filtered out, times a release-cohort factor depending on the…from residualplay.com

  Search to Play2025 · searchtoplay.com · ▲31

  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.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
