Nothing crazy, just felt like adding something a bit visual. https://glovesoff.games/stats/ Neat! Love the visual stats. Out of pure curiosity, what's the difference between "Beaten" and "Completed"? I mean... I guess completed is for games that have a 100% completion deal with side quests or stuff like that? And any plans to have a link to each game from each category? So if I want to see what NES games you can beat I can just click it and go "okay..... if Gloves can beat it, I can beat it.". Hahaha, jokes. But would be neat to know which games go in what category. Neat all around.... just random questions I think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to the Games page, you can filter by Status (untouched/unfinished/beaten/completed). A lot of games I've listed completion requirements for. Typically I consider a game beaten if I've gotten to "the end". If an ending doesn't exist then I'll come up with some measurement by which to call it beaten (such as getting a high score). As for completed, same deal but more like "seen everything". If there are trophies or achievements then it's simply "get all those", otherwise it might be beating the game on the hardest difficulty, or beating it with no deaths, stuff like that. Most of the games I have listed as completed I'll have written down what the requirements are for doing so on that game, so if you go to the Games page and filter to completed, you can see some examples. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noice!! Yup.... I can see it now. Requirements for completion. I like that. Very clear and precise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,790 Administrator · Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Relatively big update today, I've set up a data pull from the IGDB video game database which adds some details to the games on my tracker. In all this has added and auto-filled the following information for most of the games on my tool: Release Date (for the platform the game is listed) Companies involved (devs, publishers, etc.) Genres Themes Summary Storyline I kept the naming conventions that IGDB uses as they're apt and why not. It's filled out a lot of details across the board, and might help me in the future if I'm looking for some inspiration for what to play next. Pretty happy with the update; this was a bulk update to the existing content/games on the site. I'll be making a copy of the code I made to do the job and translating it into a repeatable Lambda function to run via Webhook any time I add a new game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I add a new game in the CMS -> It reaches out to IGDB to get more data on the game to fill in the blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,790 Administrator · Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Off the back of my update yesterday, I've added a new pie graph (tasty!) to the Stats page. This one shows data relating to the genres found across my collection: Gloves Off Games - Stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
