Hey everyone,
Like many of you, I've spent more time hunting for my next game than actually playing. I'm frustrated with recommenders that just push popular titles, ignoring what makes my taste unique.
That's why I've been building Gamescovery (games discovery!).
What is it?
Gamescovery is a new recommendation system designed specifically for games. The goal is simple: use your ratings from the games you've played to find hidden gems and perfect matches you'd otherwise miss.
Why it's different:
- It's not a generic engine. It's being built from the ground up to understand what you love about games.
- Future updates will let you fine-tune recommendations based on what matters most to you (genre, mood, developer, etc.).
- We start by focusing on the incredible world of itch.io indie games to help you uncover amazing projects that big algorithms overlook.
This is where you come in.
The alpha is now live, and it's very much an early build. I'm not a big company, I'm a solo developer who wants to build something the community actually finds useful. That's why your feedback is crucial.
As an alpha tester, you'll get:
- Early access to a tool designed to beat the "recommendation paradox."
- A direct line to the developer to shape project's future.
- The chance to help build a non-biased, community-driven platform.

This project has and will always have a free tier. The dream is to support all major platforms, but we're starting with itch.io to prove the concept.
Thanks for your time, and I'm excited to hear what you think!
That sounds cool.
