GameGet an IGDB search tool for streamers

By Will Add Your Comment

Something I’ve wanted for a while is a way to display the details of the game I’m playing in a pleasing graphical way on my stream, without having to spend loads of time collecting, entering and formatting that information myself.

Introducing GameGet a Node.js based web app which uses the IGDB (Internet Game Data-Base) API to search and display game details in a streamer friendly way, with customizable colours, fonts and the ability to use custom local graphic assets.

The story behind GameGet.
The idea originally started off life as a web app for searching mobygames being made by cool guy streamer and programmer DannyValz under the working title MobyClick. Alas mobygames changed their API access to a more restricted paid model effectively halting development. This new incarnation was made by me with the help of Google’s AI Studio, which helped me a graphic designer get to grips with Node.js in a very short time. This project would have never been possible without Danny’s original work, help with understanding what was possible and how it could be done and the final preperation it takes to make a project ready to push to github. Thank you Danny!
