Do you wrestle to search out reccommendations of video games you would possibly tolerate for 10 hours, earlier than inevitably slipping again into the thousandth playthrough of some comfy outdated s**t? Effectively, there is a new app that’ll be aiming to be, amongst different taglines, a “relationship app that matches you with video games reasonably than folks”, offered it hits its Kickstarter aim.
It is known as Ludocene, and is the work of a workforce led by freelance recreation journalist Andy Robertson, who writes that the app can be a “deck-builder that discerns your subsequent favorite recreation” and a “suggestion engine powered by specialists you already know and belief”.
Principally, it offers you playing cards with some data a few recreation on them, and also you swipe up or all the way down to say whether or not or not you would like so as to add them to a deck of reccomemndations that you’re going to undoubtedly play once you get the time, for realsies, they are not simply getting in your limitless backlog, you swear.
Suppose Tinder, however the one photos of individuals you get to evaluate are selfies of a workforce of “specialists” – which for transparency’s sake contains VG247’s personal Alexander Donaldson, sporting his different hat as director of RPG Web site – who you possibly can summon to boost your deck with their shitty opinions of what it’s best to play. In Donaldson’s case, I assume that ensures you at the least one Last Fantasy recreation per summoning, no matter what else you’ve got informed the app you want.
As of writing, Ludocene’s raised £8,348 of its £26,280 aim, with 16 days left to go in its fundraiser. I will be sincere, I am unsure it is one thing I might use, given I’ve lengthy most well-liked to decide on which video games I play by clicking on a random style’s tab on varied storefronts, and licking the display screen to see which recreation itemizing presents what I can solely describe as the most effective ‘vibe mouthfeel’.
Don’t strive that at house please, it solely works for me as a result of I as soon as made a take care of a troll below a bridge present in a dodgy backwater of the Steam retailer.
