A 🧵of famous game design documents...

You can't predict which game idea will be huge next. But you can validate your game ideas. I've been thinking a lot about this topic and we recorded a best practices video about it. Let me know what you think. youtube.com/watch?v=6sqr4v…

@Kaegun @codecks_io awesome to hear! we should build one as well eventually. are you planning to open source?

@riadd @codecks_io No worries, the internet is a noisy place! :-) It can read cards, decks, projects, and spaces. This has been a great help with project planning and prioritization. :-) I haven't had much time to work on this in the last bit, but creating/updating cards is next up.

I've been building Agentic AI to automate my life and work. 😉 Here's some testing feedback from Claude Desktop for my @codecks_io MCP integration.

@DysnomiaGames I tried that but it was less fun for me personally. Might have revisit that though. Maybe as a pro-mode.

@riadd Might be better if scoring worked based on distance, more like geoguesser I seem to consistently get it wrong when the number of ratings is very close to the threshold between two ranges 🥹

As game dev I'm constantly thinking about what makes a Steam game successful. To train my own intuition I built a weird little game where you have to guess Steam review counts from screenshots + description. Got 370 points today. Check it out steamle.com

Over 25k guesses have been made on steamle.com since I announced it a week ago. 😮

@DysnomiaGames Pretty good!

I released a smol Steam review guessing game! You asked for the ability to play previous days, so I added it! Enjoy beeating those scores and discovering some new Steam gems. steamle.com

Over 1,000 sessions have been played on steamle.com today. Glad to see other devs and game fans finding this useful. 😊

@shatterspine oh heck, thanks for letting me know

@riadd I just tried this again, two games that i got were the same as yesterday - "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World™: The Game" and "The Last Spell"

Steamle.com - Guess the number of Steam reviews My results for Day 4 🟨🟧🟩🟩🟩 Score: 370/500

@shatterspine @JonasTyroller Also yes it will be interesting to collect data on what people guess. Maybe eventually I could mix in speculative games, just to see what people would think in terms of market viability

@shatterspine @JonasTyroller First insight: there are A LOT of sex games on steam which we never see as German devs since they are mostly region blocked 😅

@roope_korpela Not bad!

@riadd Cool idea! 350 points 😄

We did a small series of funny interviews with Our Game Director - Johannes Kristmann Video 1 We will probably upload the whole interview later on ! #interviews #game #Platformer #indiegame #OnlineCoopGame #LocalCoop #MultiplayerGames #Roguevania #CosyGaming

In #gamedev, the word #agile gets thrown around a lot. But what does it mean, exactly? What makes a game dev team an agile one? Our MD @riadd writes about this in our newest blog post, going deep into what being agile *really* means. Have a read: codecks.io/blog/rethinkin… #gaming

How Codecks is building a games-focused project management tool teams actually want to use "These tools just can't focus on what we actually need because they're too busy trying to be everything to everyone" buff.ly/wva7CIM
