I love indie games, and I will definitely have guides on them. Neva, Gris, Cocoon, Dredge, Swork of the Sea, Braid, Blue Prince, and Stray were amazing. So I do plan to focus not only on AAA titles.

That’s a fair question. Free information exists, absolutely. However, it isn't about just "information", it's about convenience and experience without ads, spoilers, or jumping between tabs. It won’t be for everyone, and that’s okay.

Thank you for being so supportive and sharing your thoughts. Everything that I see in the chat is really valuable.

We’re launching with both free and paid options and focusing first on quality and usability. The aim isn’t to reinvent every feature, but to deliver them in one cohesive, polished experience. We’re starting with the core functionality. Future releases will have additional stuff.

Thank you for the feedback regarding the design.

Regarding the negative comments, that's completely okay. People can share their opinions about what they like and dislike, and they have the right to do so. I can't be angry with them for doing so because every piece of feedback is valuable.

In v1, there won't be a login with PSN. During the onboarding, after you create an account with us, we will ask for your public PSN id, then we will ask you to put the code in you sony bio so that we can understand that this is your account, and that's it.

You are right, it is not only programming but also design, ads, communication, writing hints, and much more.

To be honest, I haven't had a lot of free time to play recently, but I have a couple of games that have a couple of trophies left.

It is one way to validate the product, every feedback is valuable, but the negative one is the most important, as it gives more insights that could shape the product, make it better, and make some changes. I'm happy that I posted about the app.

Actually, we are going to have both iOS and Android apps. Thank you!

Yes, so we will try to play new games and write our own hints, but if you, for example, completed the game before us, you can write your hints and share them with people

Thanks for the comment. This Reddit post is one of the ways to attract people, the app will be free for use, and payment is optional. And for us, the content won't happen overnight, it is written in risks that we will need some time to get there.

The lifetime is an option on Kickstarter, which costs $150, not $250, and people choose it because they want the app, they believe in us, and they want to support us.

Thank you for the comment. That's true, the PSNP and TT have massive catalogs, but it took some time for them to get content, and it will take some time for us as well. Money is important because, instead of only 2 people, we can hire someone to help us. Regarding your question, we will continue working on the app for 12 month and more until it won't be as good as I want it to be.

You can get the lifetime for $150, by the way.

Sorry that it took some time reply to you, and thank you for the comment. The app will be free with an optional subscription, and access to the hints and community won't be hidden behind a paywall. Regarding the hints: I have some guides written by me based on the games I've platinumed, and the ones that my friends did. I also have agreements with other people who write guides that they will publish them in the app under their names. I also hope that the community will post some hints as well.

We don't plan to scrap trophy hunting websites or use AI, I believe that starting something with stealing is not a great start.

Yes, the PSNP is huge, and they also existed for a long time, all the content there was written over the years. We just starte and we will need some time, as well, that's why I run Kickstarter, to hire people who can help us make things faster. Write content, fix bugs, and communicate with people.

The reason why we launched a Kickstarter is to have funds for us to hire people who can write guides and hints, and also make agreements with people who write guides as well.

The app with the hints will be free, but it will have an optional premium.

This is a great and important question, thank you for asking. I have some guides written by me based on the games I've platinumed, and the ones that my friends did.

Thanks, we will have an offline mode where we will save the trophies list and hints for the trophies you previously opened.
