Hey Product Hunt community, with GlimWorld preparing to launch its zero-code multiplayer sandbox on Product Hunt, it addresses one of the biggest hurdles for creators: removing the brutal coding learning curve. But it also introduces a fascinating feature that caught my eye: a built-in Discovery Engine designed specifically to keep small, independent projects from getting buried under massive, corporate-backed games (a huge issue on platforms like Roblox). As we look at the future of independent User-Generated Content (UGC) gaming, I wanted to open up a thread to get your insights and questions. For creators and players: What are the biggest frustrations you face trying to get your games or assets noticed on massive, established platforms? What features do you think a "Discovery Engine" must have to keep things fair and exciting for new creators? For the GlimWorld team (if they're lurking!): How exactly does the algorithm balance trending games versus brand-new, unplayed projects to ensure true organic exposure? Are there plans to allow creators to host their own community micro-events or "game jams" directly through this discovery system?

Would love to hear your thoughts on how independent platforms can successfully compete with corporate giants by focusing purely on community utility!
