Hi fellow Hunters,
I think I have been looking forward to this launch since forever.
Being interested in games in 2017 is both a blessing and a curse. There’s a lot to choose from, but staying informed requires a lot of you. I scroll the upcoming games section on Steam. I follow developers on social media. I visit campaign sites for all the games. I consume heaps of game journalism and yet I feel like there’s so many things that pass me by.
So many missed oppertunities to get excited. To feel that joy of anticipation we experienced as kids.
Furthermore as a game developer, I wish it was easier for me to stay connected with my audience before launch. To build hype and interest for what I’m making.
I wanted something that fixed all of these issues and then some.
Something that would allow me to feel like I’m on top of new and upcoming game releases.
Not just on steam but across a wide range of platforms.
Something that would let me get excited about new games, maybe even lead me to try new and different things.
Something that would make it easier for game developers to pool interest for their games.
So after more than a year's work we're introducing Arcade Trail. For a lack of a better phrase, it's a crowdsourced game discovery and curation platform. It aims to make game discovery easy and fun, allowing both players and game creators to celebrate past, present and future games.
It helps you to get excited about new titles, and gives you an overview of what’s on the horizon, or what you’ve missed lately.
It helps you collect and curate your own game collection and it allows everyone to contribute media, meta-data and conversation, collectively creating the largest crowdsourced database of video game content. It’s kind of like if Wikipedia and Product Hunt had a baby and that baby turned out to be a gamer.
