GameStoryLog v0.4.6: Game update notification controls, game leaderboards and more
Added 2025-08-20 19:35:10 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Just pushed out a new update with some great features:
🔔 Game update Notification Controls
You can now choose exactly which update notifications/alerts you need, based on your library status. Example: Only get notified for "Playing" and "Plan to Play" games, skip the "On Hold" and "Dropped" ones.
By default, notifications are enabled for all statuses. You can adjust them anytime in the notifications settings.
🏆 Game Leaderboards
Visit game metrics and click on leaderboards.
Added three leaderboards to explore game development patterns. By default, top 20 will be shown, but you can view up to 50.
Added filters in leaderboards to view by specific game graphics tag or specific game engine, and added an option to include/exclude completed games in leaderboards.
📊 Total Renders - Games ranked by total image count
📈 Renders per Day - Development efficiency
For games to appear in this leaderboard requires games with 2+ versions, 30+ development days, complete version history on site
Formula: total renders ÷ development days
Note: For ongoing games, uses first version date to present day; for completed games, uses first to last version date
⏱️ Update Frequency - Average days between updates
Note: Many games may be missing due to incomplete historical data - they'll appear as we backfill version info. Need more detailed info? Visit FAQ (Glossary)
