Talking Video Game Discoverability, Accessibility & Ludocene with Andy Robertson
We have recently crossed paths with Andy Robertson, a games journalist writing for Forbes, the BBC and previously the Guardian and Wired. Andy is on his way to creating a new app called Ludocene, which has its foundations built on the Family Gaming Database. Ludocene is a video game discoverability app that hopes to cut through the thousands of games made available each day using human tags and recommendations, not with AI. The Family Gaming Database is a HUGE database that not only shows parents what content is in a game beyond its PEGI rating, but also goes through accessibility for a lot of its titles, which is something everyone can benefit from. Back Ludocene on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
