Hello, selectbutton peoples!!
As I do every year, I lost interest in video games over the summer and became obsessed with pinball machines, but now it's nice and cold again and my thoughts return to the video games.
Things had been getting kinda weird at work, and I also was ready for a great leap forward, so a couple months ago I quit my job and went to work full-time on an exciting new web thingy.
reccr, the amazing automated video game recommender, is that thingy! Please come check it out, and use it, and bang on it, and let me know what you think of it, and what exciting things it needs in the future (I already have lots of exciting plans for it, but I'm always open to more suggestions)!
A few of you might remember the game recommender I was working on a few years ago; this is a complete rebuild of that from the ground up in Rails, and some of you (BenRen) will be happy to hear that the rating widget is now built entirely in CSS rather than Flash.
Also, what's this new "curate topic" option?

thanks, Takashi! Yeah, social aspect-ness has been requested a lot, so I think it's the next part I'm going to work on.
What sort of social aspects would you most like to see?

hooray! thanks for all the ratings, guys!
A bunch of Phoenix Wright games have now bubbled up to the top of my recommendation list, but my #1 recommendation is still ExciteBots.
BenRen, when I add social crap I'll keep it as opt-out-able as possible for you. :)

oops, Fahrenheit was in there twice and I zapped one that had two ratings, so if you rated it please rate it again. :)

Thanks! I just added PS2, Xbox, GC, and GBA over the last couple of days, and I'm not sure yet if I want to go earlier than that. If I do, I might just add the platform and not import the entire catalog of games, and just let people add the games they want to rate like I did with GBA.

glad to hear that the recommendations are good! :)
I have to approve all submissions before they go in, so hopefully I'll catch most of the confusion and redundancy. The site does track how many submissions you've had accepted, so once I start implementing social aspects I'll make that a "public" stat, but I want to avoid awarding people just for rating lots of games because I'm worried that I'll get people randomly rating things they haven't played just to get their "number of games rated" up.
Tags are a good idea; I'm planning way down the road to at least tag games by developer.
Search definitely does need some work; right now it's very very basic and literal. I should probably bump that to the top of my to-do list!
Thanks for the feedback!

yeah, that doesn't sound right. I'll look into it. thanks!

right now the button to submit new games shows up when you search and there's either zero results or more than one result. I realize that's not the best place for it (or at least not the best ONLY place for it), but I'm not sure at this point where else to put it.

Is there a way to specifically remove reccr from recommending me a genre of games in general? Because I am really getting tired of ignoring every FPS game popping up.
Also there seems to be a weird problem where if you're on an individual game's page and then try rating a game in the "similar games" section to the right, the response to that selection will appear below the game of the page (on the left), not of what you rated (on the right). |
bug fixed! thanks, persona!
there aren't any genre tags yet, so for now ignoring is your only option (or giving low ratings to any that you might've played and hated).

I'm sorry you feel that way, BenRen. I was looking forward to your feedback, specifically any CSS / HTML5 gotchas since I know you're a contributor on SeaMonkey.
There's a note at the bottom of the sign-in page that explains why reccr uses Facebook and Twitter for authentication.

Yeah, I'm using the omniauth gem, so I can add google (and openID and several other things) pretty easily, and adding more authentication providers is on my to-do list. Now that people are asking for it more, I can bump it up higher on the list. Would adding Google be enough for everyone here who's having reservations about Facebook and Twitter?

It worked fine the first time, though. |
Oh, LOL, thanks for finding that for me; if you use www.reccr.com rather than just reccr.com Facebook complains. I just fixed that so either way should work now.

I'm gradually adding more platforms, but I don't think I'll go back that far for a while. In the meantime you can "cheat" and list Virtual Console games as WiiWare games (maybe if we add Earthbound as a "coming soon" VC game and all vote it up and reccr gets really popular Nintendo will see all the love for it and finally release it :) ).

Overall its recommendations seem sensible, if possibly heavily influenced by what's popular amongst SB forumites. |
I assume it is because most of the people using it right now are SBros. |
I had about 40 users on there before I posted it here on SB, but you guys have been a lot more active than most of those previous users (which I greatly appreciate! :) ), so now the recommendations are WAY more SB-leaning than they were before. I'm totally fine with that, though, and I'm sure that as more users sign up it'll trend in other directions.

I've added Google and Yahoo to the available sign-in methods, and I've also added Windows "indie" games to the platforms so indie games can be added and have a link to TIGdb on their details pages instead of a link to Amazon like other Windows games.

Hmm, multiple friends lists and recommendation lists limited to a specific friends list... that's definitely doable, I'll add it to the to-do list! :)

Hey guys! I've implemented tags on reccr. I was going to wait a little longer on implementing them, but someone found a major bug that was making the site reliably give bad errors to new users (oops!) and the version of the site I had that fixed that bug also implemented tags, so I just went live with that. They work great, so give them a whirl! Hopefully they won't be abused too much; most of what I was waiting for before implementing them was writing better guidelines on submitting tags (i.e. "make tags objective and not a comment on quality or otherwise editorialize").

ugh, I STILL can't decide whether or not I want to open the huge can of worms that would be involved in adding forums to reccr. Right now it looks like there aren't really any good forum plugins for Rails 3, so I'd have to write my own forum engine, and then, of course, I'd also have to moderate it. What do you guys think? Does reccr need forums, and if not, what would be a good substitute?

because rails forums would be easier to integrate with the rest of the site. Tell me what I should do instead of forums, wes!
The primary reason I want forums is for a "help and support and feedback" forum. I know that a lot of sites are in love with uservoice for doing "help and support and feedback forum" stuff, but uservoice costs money (which I'm trying to save as much as possible since reccr isn't making any yet), and I also don't like how unintegrated it is (for instance, users have to login separately to uservoice to post there).
The secondary reason I want forums is for the community aspect and to let users communicate with each other if they want. I know there are other ways to do that, but I'd like suggestions for what you think would be the best fit for reccr.
I'm starting to think that a good halfway point might be notes; letting users leave notes on the pages for games, and letting other users vote those notes up and down.

OK, people! Comments are live on reccr, as is the contact section which you can hopefully use to tell me if you find any bugs in the comments.
You're also welcome to tell me such things here! :)

yeppers. It is currently VERY SB.
although God Hand is only the 13th most popular game, and Demon's Souls is #16, so there's at least SOME outside influence. :) |

SBros, you have FAILED ME!! It took someone from Tigsource to point out that I'd accidentally left out Dreamcast!
but the good news is that now Dreamcast is in there, so you can submit Dreamcast games!

oh! Perhaps it was! I always forget that DC is the same "generation" as PS2 and Xbox and Gamecube, since it came out so much sooner than the other three. But then a new user submitted Shenmue with no platforms listed (because its platform wasn't on the list!) and I suddenly realized the error of my ways and added it real quick. |

thanks, benren!
fixed the padding: auto. That must've been left over from something I was doing before.
rails uses prototype by default
I've heard that tables for layout get a lot of hate from the current web design crowd, but I've found them to be a whole lot more flexible and useful than div tags in a lot of situations.
Can you explain to me why "the correct way" is to use em rather than b for bolding things? I've heard that a lot, but don't understand why.
all the self-closing tags that are in there are generated by rails

I've added a simple "friends" feature (which basically lets you follow users, and set who can see your ratings).
so, here a link to my profile, which you can use to follow me. This is super-minimal at the moment, so please let me know what other "friends" features you'd like to see. For anyone GRIPPED BY FEAR OF SOCIAL MEDIA, I want to point out that your ratings visibility defaults to "friends only", so nobody can see your ratings unless you friend somebody or set the visibility to "everyone", and even if you do friend some people you can STILL prevent them from seeing your ratings by setting visibility to "only me".

that IS very pretty, but it would require creating custom "letterboxed" images for all 7,700+ games in the system, and also unfortunately it kinda de-emphasizes the top row, which is contrary to what we want. :(

Hooray! Let me know how accurate the recommendation is! :)
My top 5 recs are currently Castle Shikigami 3, Resonance of Fate, Red Steel 2, Blazblue CS (which is surprising since I gave the first BB 2 stars), and Dreamfall. Flower, Sun, and Rain and 999 also keep flitting in and out of my top 5.

I think you misunderstand what he's saying. Netflix ran a contest recently asking for people to improve their suggestion algorithm. You can find a list of who wrote the top 10 algorithms and contact one of those losing teams to use their shit in reccr. It'll be better than yours and potentially free. And you can't be affiliated w/ Netflix to do this.
-Weş |
No, there's a later message where he suggests that I should link peoples' profiles from Netflix to reccr, which I can't do because I'm not Netflix.

Sorry, some combination of the way you wrote that first reply and the way I read it make me think you didn't know what you were talking about, and had never actually used reccr. This new reply is a lot more coherent.
| IIOIOOIOO wrote: |
| But seriously, and I mean no offense by this, the likelihood is high that your result accuracy will degrade as your network grows more dense. Both as more users enter the system and as individuals rate more games. Your accuracy will end up lower than 20% r-squared. Eventually, you will end up with everyone being recommended hentai games because they like STGs. You will struggle spectacularly with people who have multiple niche genre interests as those interests largely have poor inferential value from one to the next. As I said, it appears (from reported false hits) that your engine largely relies on "similar profile inference." |
On the contrary, so far I've found that the recommendations are getting better as more users join. For a long time my wife's top recommended game was 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, but last weekend we got a surge of over 100 new users and now her recommendations look a LOT better, and include things that are much more in-line with her tastes. There are still some things in there that I don't think she'd like, but it's much more likely that she'd like them than 50 Cent, and as more users join and rate games I suspect those will fade from her recommendations list, too.
Can you explain to me where "20% r-squared" is coming from?
And are you suggesting that it will get better for a while, but then at some point I'll hit some critical mass and the recommendations will start to get worse? Can you explain to me how that would happen?
| IIOIOOIOO wrote: |
| Will your engine ever be able to predict whether a person will enjoy a game that just came out and almost nobody in your network has played? Nope. |
Yes. If 1% of ALL of the users on reccr have rated a new game, then reccr will have enough data to start recommending it. If by "your network" you mean "a user's friends", then I should clarify for you that reccr friends lists are purely for seeing what your friends have rated and how similar your tastes are to theirs; reccr makes recommendations based on the tastes of EVERY user in the system, and your friends list isn't factored into it at all.
(Unfortunately, that means that remote's suggestion from a while back of having group-specific recommendations is not doable at this time.)
| IIOIOOIOO wrote: |
| Will your engine ever be able to understand that a user JUST DOESN'T LIKE some type of game? |
Yes. Although reccr's recommendation algorithm ignores tags, if a user has given DoDonPachi and Espgaluda low ratings, then reccr will probably not recommend them Ketsui, since it has similar ratings to those other two. As far as I can tell this will only improve as more users join and more ratings are added to the system. Some games will slip through the cracks, but I actually WANT that; 7 years ago I unilaterally dismissed all first-person-shooters because I'd played a lot of them I didn't like, and hadn't played any that I loved. It wasn't until a friend practically forced me to play HL2 that I realized they could be good, and I hope that reccr can do that for people; say "yeah, I know that you hate everything else in this genre, but I think you'd actually love this game, so why don't you give it a try?"
| IIOIOOIOO wrote: |

For now you can note that in the comments, as you did. If there are enough comments along the same lines, or your comment gets a lot of upvotes, I'll split it into two separate games. This and DLC are two of the things that I don't have hard rules for yet, and am just looking at on a case-by-case basis, because I don't have enough "cases" yet to decide on rules. :)

No, but I need to add that!

As a starting point for your exploration, check out this article:

I think it does a good job of taking a complex problem and posing it in simple terms... especially for a developer. Read it, and the commentary, and you will see several techniques named which are worth investigating.
Also, good luck. I look on with interest. |
thanks! I'll take a look at that and also do some work on figuring out in advance how reccr will behave with lots more data.

No, but I need to add that! |
Also, what if people can give their rating when they submit. If and when you accept the game, it immediately becomes rated by them. |
oh! that's a great idea! why didn't I think of that before? :)
I'll try to get that added tomorrow.

OK, I've added the "Featured Games" feature to reccr, which is basically as close as I intend reccr to get to advertising. I want more games to fill out the "Featured Games" roster, so if you're somehow involved in the development or publication of a game and would like to have it featured for free for a couple months, let me know! I'm making a special effort NOT to give the games I've made any preferential treatment on reccr, so I'm keeping my games out of the featured games list until I reach the totally arbitrary number of 10 other featured games.

| I'm definitely enjoying playing with the system. It's recommending me a bunch of stuff with which I'm unfamiliar - Mushihime-sama Futari, Espgaluda II Black Label, Ninja Bros. 忍者ブラザーズ, Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files, and Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp are my top five. I should try some of the games it recommends to see how good it's doing. |
Those sound like great recommendations! You can at least get demos of Ninja Bros and Johnny Platform. (Both of their "details" pages will link to their Xbox Marketplace pages where you can add the demos to your Xbox's download queue via the webpage.)

| Now, which 136 games were those that I submitted so I can go rate them... |
I think you submitted everything except the two most recent games on the latest additions list... and 38 other games since the latest additions list only covers the 100 latest additions. :)
Oh, in other news, after reading IIOIOOIOO's last comment I wrote a tool to determine the accuracy of the recommendations, and it's currently a little over 80% accurate, which I think is pretty good. I'm going to keep an eye on it and see if it increases or decreases as I get more users. |

...and by "tomorrow", I of course meant "next Tuesday". Gah, sorry, it's been a week full of the dramas, but I finally got ratings added to the new submissions page! Thanks for the suggestion!

Alright my SB peoples, I've finally caved and added 8 more platforms to reccr, going all the way back to 16-bit systems (except the Jaguar, because LOL). So if there are some psx / snes / genesis games you've been aching to rate, now you can (but you'll probably have to add them first unless someone else already added them).
