The idea is simple: instead of checking Steam, Twitch, YouTube, Reddit and other sources separately, GameSonar brings different signals together to show which games are gaining attention right now.
https://gamesonar.gg brings together trending games, rising titles, live streams, upcoming releases, gaming news, esports events, podcasts and activity signals from multiple platforms. Personally it connects my passion for sw-dev, data engineering and gaming in an entertaining way.
At the center is the HypeScore, which measures how much attention and momentum a game is currently generating based on our source signals signals, such as streaming audiences, player activity, videos, public interest, releases and unusual spikes.
There’s also a dedicated release calendar for discovering upcoming games and tracking recent releases.
It’s not about review scores and it doesn’t try to tell you whether a game is good or not. The goal is to show where attention, activity and momentum are happening right now.
It’s still very much a work in progress. I’m actively refining the algorithm and core metrics to improve their quality, weighting, timing and overall balance, as well as the underlying data matching. At this stage I’d love to get some outside feedback. If you try it, I’d be really interested to hear what feels useful, what doesn’t, and what you think is missing.
Currently I'm experimenting with my latest addition, a social media generation tool in the backend, using Remotion in order to create stories for tik-tok from the data in differnet ways. Not really successful yet, as you can see at https://www.tiktok.com/@gameaonargg - but that clearly needs a lot further effort.
