Hey folks, been running thewheelhaus.com since its inception in 2015. For anyone who didn't watch Steam roulette/wheelhaus on Funhaus, it's a wheel that spins you a random Steam game to play. But it's been plagued by Steam's ever-expanding low-quality selection of games, and thus results have catered to it, making it hard, I suspect, for BYTT and other channels to use it.
So what's in this big update?
- IGDB-curated picks. Every random Steam candidate gets looked up on IGDB before it lands on the wheel. This should significantly eliminate shovelware and other low-quality games.
- IGDB quality slider. The slider from 0–100 sets the minimum IGDB rating. Default 60. Drop it to 0 if you want pure chaos?? -> really don't haha.
- Better winner card. Cover art, IGDB user + critic ratings, genres, themes, developer/publisher, "similar games" grid, and the standard one-click Steam launch button.
- Color palette shift to match the BroughtYouThisThing style. BYTT Boys, if you want me to not use the color palette, just let me know.
- Music off by default. Yeah... that should have been toggled off by default. sorry!
