Introducing Ludocene: A Revolutionary Game Discovery Platform
Ludocene, a unique gaming platform that utilizes a 'dating app' approach to match users with games, has officially launched after a triumphant Kickstarter campaign. Conceived by veteran video game journalist Andy Robertson, Ludocene operates as a deck-builder, suggesting new games based on users' favorite titles. Upon registering, users initiate a 'new run' and select from various starter packs, which prioritize site recommendations, new releases, or recent discoveries. The platform then presents users with individual game cards, displaying key details about each title, from indie games to large-scale AAA releases. By interacting with these cards, users build a personalized deck of recommended games. Additionally, the app features Expert cards, showcasing recommendations from prominent figures in the gaming industry, including streamers, developers, journalists, and podcasters. With a free version available, an optional subscription offers access to a broader range of experts and exclusive card packs. Ludocene's Kickstarter campaign surpassed its target, raising £35.2K, and the platform aims to introduce enhanced features, including improved notifications and board game discovery functionality.
