Happy Birthday to Us 🎉 We Are out of Beta!
Today is our second birthday. 🎂 RAWG went live on May 24, 2017, and it’s been two great years full of new features, new games, and — most importantly — new wonderful people who have joined our community and helped us.
Today is important for us not just because it’s a birthday. But because we love our current state enough to announce that we are out of beta today. And we are proud to announce ML-powered recommendations on RAWG!
We launched a neural network to help you find a new favorite game in a few seconds. RAWG is turning into a discovery service similar to popular content discovery platforms, that is powered by the world’s largest games database, and lets you browse an endless flow of games. If you like what you see, our neural network will find more games you will enjoy in a single click.
Machine learning recommendations work differently than those based on metadata or collaborative filtering. If you liked a game like Super Mario Galaxy, you’d probably be looking for other cheerful colorful games and not just 3D platformers. If you enjoyed a sports game like EA Sports NHL, chances are you are going to like more sports games or management simulators. If you know what you are looking for, RAWG will help you find your next favorite game in less than 20 seconds.
But what’s even better? We have a new slick design!
Next week, we will share a story of the amazing two years of RAWG. But for now, go check our new front page! 👀
