Hello, Hunters! 👋 I’m Isac, the creator of GamingBubble. Working in the games industry, I often need to understand where a title fits, which games it could compete with, and how crowded that part of the market really is. The problem is that Steam genres are broad. A shooter, a metroidvania, and a roguelike may all sit under Action, but they do not necessarily compete for the same players. I could not find a tool that helped me make those comparisons clearly, so I started building one. For GamingBubble, I catalogued 181,271 Steam games, analyzed ranked tag profiles across 83,896 titles, and mapped 1,329 combinations to explore. The tool organizes the market through three layers: Genre → Game type → Tag You can use the interactive Orbit, Matrix, tables, and release history to explore smaller comparison groups and open the games behind each number. One of the most interesting things I found is that a category that looks saturated may actually be concentrated around only a few familiar combinations. That does not prove demand or guarantee an opportunity, but it can reveal where deeper research is worth doing. GamingBubble does not give you a ready-made verdict. My goal is to offer indie developers, publishers, and games industry professionals a clearer place to begin their research. This is a personal project, and I’m opening it for real-world testing today. I would especially love to hear: • Was the methodology easy to understand? • Did you discover anything useful or unexpected? • What would make GamingBubble more valuable in your work? Thank you for checking it out. Feedback is very welcome! 🫧
