Listening to the first devs
The dev behind Darkest Path gave me the most useful feedback so far: creators who played the same three games is a start, but what they'd pay for is creators who cover their genre. So PlayScout got rebuilt around that. Paste your Steam link and it reads your tags, finds smaller indie games like yours, and searches their creators too. It drops studio and official channels, checks each top YouTuber's latest uploads, and moves indie and genre regulars up. Big searches were coming back with 1,000+ names, which is too many, so every list now opens on a "Start here" shortlist of 25, with a few hidden finds mixed in. Two devs let me quote them on the site. That one felt good.
Next: getting PlayScout in front of more indie devs before Steam Next Fest.
