Why is Steam recommending eFootball for Overcooked 2? Trying to fix that by building a better "More like this" System than what's on Steam. Read more about it here: patreon.com/posts/part-2-bui…

I've been holiday coding a bit trying to create a better "More Like This" algorithm than on Steam. Still WIP - but so far it's working pretty well. Live on all games on Niklas Notes!

Weekly Steam analysis Nov 3-9 on Niklas Notes! - Strategy week with big UI lessons. - EU5 launches strong but UI frustrates. - Football Manager 26 crashes to 22% positive with new interface Plus: Tavern Keeper's 10yr dev pays off and much more! #gamedev #indiedev #steam

I analyzed over 80,000 Steam games so you can search by vibe instead of genre. Want 'noir pixel art'? ✓ Need 'nordic dark fantasy'? ✓ Craving 'neon cyberpunk aesthetic'? ✓ Maybe sometimes you just want games that FEEL a certain way. Link to the search in 🧵

I built "Attention Lists" for Steam's Q2 instead of global charts. Global winners missing from key markets. PEAK everywhere except China (no localization) Oblivion same (poor translation) Stellar Blade missing from Russia (region locked). Regional data > global charts 🧵

These games sold millions of copies, but they’re all sitting around 50% positive on Steam. The most common complaint in all of them? Performance. A thread (1/6) 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev #steam

Crashlands 2: Mostly positive! Players love the improved mechanics, story, and humor. Concerns exist around repetitive combat, bugs, and perceived lack of depth. Price point is a pain point. Explore more insights: niklasnotes.com/dashboard/ga…
