We've been a bit quiet over the past six months, but we've been hard at work at Playsum and have accomplished a lot that we’re proud of! Here's an update of what all we've been up to:
🚀 Web App Launch: We released our web app, which brings a big upgrade to the UI and functionality compared to the mobile app. We're also nearing completion on a feature that will let users create their own communities! After that, we'll begin rolling out a range of safety features to give admins and moderators the tools they need to keep their communities safe.
🛍 Playsum Games Store Upgrades: We've launched a ton of new features, transforming the store from a first version into a full-fledged game store. New additions include a backorder system, multiple payment options, a wishlist feature, Steam reviews and ratings, countdown timers, a price slider, and DLC toggle - just to name a few! A big thank you to Mads Gerber for the expert advice!
🎮 Expanding Publisher Partnerships: We’ve added several new publishers, bringing our total to 45! Recent partners include Marvelous Entertainment, Indie io, Atari, and Maximum Entertainment. We’re thrilled to keep growing our publisher relationships and game catalog!
🤝 New Collaborations: To boost our visibility, we’ve partnered with major deal aggregators gg.deals, IsThereAnyDeal, and Nexarda, as well as the #1 creator wishlist platform, Throne. This is helping more gamers discover our games and great deals! Currently exploring more partnerships that aren’t yet official - looking forward to announcing them soon!
🌱 Creative Projects: Our web novel, Plots of Panoros, has surpassed 60,000 words, and we’ve started developing Plasma Plaines, a sci-fantasy farm sim game which takes place in the same setting within the Playsum-verse!
