GameStoryLog v0.4.5: Introducing Chart Analytics!

Hey everyone! Just dropped a major update that I've been working on for a while - Chart Analytics for tracking game development progress!

✨ What's New:

📈 Progress Analytics Dashboard

• Visualize how games grow over time across 5 key metrics: renders, animations, music tracks, sound effects, and word count

• Compare up to 4 games simultaneously - perfect for seeing how different projects develop

• Insights panel showing development patterns, update consistency, and cross-project comparisons

⚙️ Customizable Chart Settings

• Flexible X-axis options: Switch between viewing by dev months, versions, or release dates

• Display toggles: Show/hide tooltips, version markers on data points, and other visual elements

• Fullscreen mode

Head over to any game page and click the "Game Metrics" button before the "Discuss in forum" button!

📋 Current Status & Call for Help I've added changelog data for most popular VNs, but there's still a lot of work to do. I need your help!

• If you have changelog data for games, please share it

• Game developers: it would help if you can share your games' changelogs

• Found incorrect metrics? Hit the "Report Metrics" button

Note: Some games might have limited data while we're still building out the changelog database, but all the major titles should have solid tracking!

🔧 Additional Improvements

• Bugfix-only releases no longer appear in "Recently Updated" or analytics (since they don't add new content)

• Various forum and UI bug fixes

What do you think of the new analytics?

This was one hell of an update! 😅 The chart implementation seriously ate my brain while coding it, but seeing those progression curves come to life made it all worth it.
