Feature
The feature push

The toolkit stopped being "a few dashboards" and became a real product. New tools got bolted on fast — one per problem a developer actually faces before launch.

  • Influencer Outreach — scoring & tracking for wishlists-driven outreach
  • Press Kit Generator — one-click media pack from your game data
  • Detailed sub-pages for every analysis module
  • Festival tracker added to the marketing suite
v0.5
March 2026
Feature
Expanding the scope

ReviewScope alone wasn't enough. The natural next question was: what do the numbers say? Steam CSV support got added, pulling actual sales data and visibility metrics into the same browser-based flow.

  • Steam CSV import — revenue, units, regional breakdowns
  • Visibility Dashboard — discovery channels, traffic sources, benchmarks
  • Sales analysis — return rates, pricing performance, discount impact
v0.1
February 2026
Origin
The idea: ReviewScope

It started with a single question about PANICORE: what are players actually complaining about? Reading through hundreds of Steam reviews by hand wasn't working. ReviewScope was built to find the signal in the noise — sentiment analysis, theme clustering, and a proper breakdown of what's driving negative reviews.

The fix worked. The idea stuck.
