Well, I agree, but it will require a lot of resources and people to handle different areas. + I think gamedev is really behind other industries right now. And I'm personally interested in the game development industry becoming better.

I think this definitely must be controlled by a community, because, as you correctly said, different people care about different things. Maybe it should be some kind of consensus or voting for different types of ethical problems, idk.
For now, I have no idea how such calculations can be done to be actually "fair", I'm just proposing a topic for discussion. But, in my opinion, this shouldn't be done by one person - that's for sure.
Well, one of the main Polexit supporters is actually in the EU parliament. Surreal situation
Poll results are in!
Here’s how the community voted:
- Quake 4 -> 2 votes
- Quake III Arena -> 1 vote
- Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000 –> 1 vote
I then ran the same three games through the Gamescovery similarity algorithm to see which one is closest to the original Half‑Life.
According to the algorithm, Quake 4 takes the top spot, followed by Quake III Arena, with AVP 2000 coming in last.
So this time, the algorithm lined up with the community’s pick - but there’s a catch. Several people pointed out that Quake II might actually be the closest match to Half‑Life. In the algorithm, however, Quake II ranks even further away than AVP 2000.
I’ll double‑check that. Thanks to everyone who voted and shared their thoughts!
Hi, about Quake 2 - do you mean it was the most similar to the original Half-Life because of style? Or rather because of the main "idea", genre, and plot? Just interested in your opinion
Hi,
let’s settle a debate. Ignoring the Half-Life series itself, which game shares the most DNA with the original?
- Quake 4
- Quake III Arena
- Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000

Tomorrow I’ll run the same three games through my game‑similarity algorithm and share how its results compare to the community’s choice.
Also, drop a suggestion below if you have an idea for the next poll!

Hab vor dem Meme noch nie was von dem Charakter gehört. Ist der aus 'nem Game oder Anime?

I'm not originally from Poland, but I have been lived here for a couple years already. My girlfriend is from Silesia and now I'm part of true Silesian family and I found that mix of Polish and Germany culture pretty fascinating
Hello,
I have a question - I have differences calculated between game genres. The difference is a positive float number, the bigger the number, the greater the difference there is between the two genres.
I want to visualise differences and I have the following code:
import json
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
with open('genres_weights.json', 'r') as file:
data = json.load(file)
G = nx.Graph()
max_diff = max(item['difference'] for item in data) if data else 1.0
for item in data:
node1, node2 = item['weightsPair']
difference = item['difference']
weight = item['difference'] + 0.25
G.add_edge(node1, node2, weight=weight, original_diff=difference)
plt.figure(figsize=(40, 20))
pos = nx.kamada_kawai_layout(G, weight='weight')
nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos, node_size=2000, node_color='#2b83ba', alpha=0.9)
nx.draw_networkx_labels(G, pos, font_size=7, font_family='sans-serif')
plt.show()
that gives the following result for my data:
A lot of things look great, and overall graph represents data correctly (I guess). But there is the thing - in the bottom left part of the graph there are two bubbles: "immersive sim" and "rhythm". Those two genres appear to be very similar (as some other pairs of games that are very similar and have a very low number for difference), but in reality, they are not - they have a difference of 9, which is a lot (the maximum difference between genres is around 14), so I expect them to be on the different side of the graph and not nearly together.
I'm not sure where the problem is. Can someone please help me?

Points 3 and 4 are actually interesting, not sure what the right thing to do is in this case.
