STOP BUILDINGFOR NO ONE

MOST GAME DECISIONS CAN'T BE UNDONE.

WE HELP TEAMS MAKE THEM WITH EVIDENCE, NOT HOPE.

Studios are expected to de-risk projects earlier than ever – without the tools to understand who they're building for, why players respond the way they do, or which decisions actually matter.

GameDataCore is the decision intelligence layer for the games industry. We connect player behaviour, emotion, community signals, market context, and studio intent into explainable, causal evidence – so creative and commercial decisions are made with confidence, not guesswork.

GameDataCore is Decision Insurance — we combine player psychology, behavioural modelling, and market data to make uncertainty measurable and decisions defensible.

DECISIONS GAME TEAMSACTUALLY HAVE TO ANSWER

Teams typically start by analysing a single title — their own or a close comparator — to establish where confidence is strong, where risk is emerging, and which decisions actually matter next.

Why did this title underperform, despite strong reviews?

Games can get love — but love alone doesn't predict commercial outcomes. GameDataCore links behaviour, sentiment, emotion and expectation to explain why trajectories diverge.

Where did our audience go after launch?

Retention decay looks like noise until you understand its causes.We isolate where engagement drops, which segments left, and what actions might change that trajectory.

Was this backlash representative — or a vocal minority?

Not all community reactions are equal.We map discussion, sentiment, emotional and motivational velocity and behavioural impact across segments to distinguish noise from material risk.

If we invest more, where will it move confidence most?

Not all investments yield equal confidence gains.We compare counterfactual scenarios across features, segments, and benchmarks to show where evidence says it matters.

How GameDataCore Actually Works and Why It Compounds

One evidence engine. Multiple decisions. Increasing confidence over time. Built & designed for every member of your team.

One evidence engine connecting all data sources

ONE EVIDENCE ENGINE

GameDataCore runs a single, shared evidence pipeline that connects player behaviour, psychology, community signals, market context and internal data into explainable causal chains. Every Core is just a different entry point into the same underlying system.

Built for real game studio decisions

BUILT FOR REAL DECISIONS

Used by developers, publishers, and investors when decisions are expensive, irreversible, or financially risky — not for reporting or vanity metrics. If the question matters, it runs through the same evidence engine.

Works with any game title

ANY GAME, NOT JUST YOURS

Analyse your own titles, competitor games, or any released game with sufficient public and community data. Comparative context is not optional — it's foundational.

Confidence scoring instead of guesswork

CONFIDENCE, NOT ANSWERS

GameDataCore does not tell teams what to do. It shows: What evidence exists, How strong it is, Where uncertainty remains, And how confidence changes under different choices. Creative judgment stays in the loop.

The system learns from feedback loops

THE SYSTEM LEARNS ACROSS TEAMS

As more studios use the platform, behavioural baselines sharpen, archetypes stabilise, and causal models improve. Your analysis benefits from: More data, More calibration, More decisions tested against reality. This is shared intelligence, not isolated analytics.

Avoid investing in the wrong things

DESIGNED TO AVOID THE WRONG THINGS

No black-box scoring No dashboard-only BI No single-source dependency No usage inflation Only explainable evidence that improves with use.

Games Generate Signals.Decisions Need Evidence.

Every signal is interpreted through calibrated psychological, behavioural, and comparative baselines — not raw metrics or black-box scores. Analyse your own games, competitor titles, or any released game with sufficient public and community data.

Player psychology decoded

Uncover why players engage, disengage, or churn — not just what they do.Translate behaviour into motivation, expectation, and decision-relevant evidence that creative and production teams can act on

Community signals, unified

Track more than just sentiment, backlash, and expectation shifts across platforms — with context. Separate vocal minorities from material risk and understand who is reacting, why, and what it affects.

Integrated data, deeper insights

Combine feedback, behavioural signals, and commercial outcomes into a single evidence layer. Move beyond disconnected metrics to understand causal impact across the player journey.

Alignment across your studio

Give design, production, marketing, ops and leadership a shared evidence base. Align creative intent, delivery constraints, and market reality — before decisions become irreversible.

Not dashboards. Not sentiment scores. Decision confidence.

Creativity decides. Evidence informs.

Why GameDataCore

Not a tooling upgrade

This is a new decision layer for how games are built, evaluated, and funded.

Truth dies in the gaps between systems

Studios need a nervous system that connects player feedback, behaviour, emotions, studio decisions, and market context into one unified causal model.

GameDataCore is that nervous system.

One intelligence substrate. Every decision, evidence-backed.

From first concept to final patch.

Concept

Is there audience-fit for this idea? Analyse similar games, unmet player needs, genre whitespace.

Validation

Are we building the right thing? Track early community reaction, wishlist signals, competitor analysis.

Production

What should we prioritise? Compare player expectations vs. creative vision vs. resource constraints.

Launch

Is our positioning working? Real-time sentiment tracking, competitive context, retention prediction.

Live ops

What needs fixing first? Causal chains from emotions → behaviour → revenue. All signals unified in one model.

Earned Not Theorised

WE STARTED WITH FALLOUT

GameDataCore wasn't created by analysts or consultants. It was built by game developers who've shipped games, pitched publishers, raised funding, missed targets, and watched promising projects stall — after real commitments were already made.We built the platform we wish we'd had when the cost of being wrong was measured in years, not metrics.

Built by people who had to make these calls.

After decades of building and shipping games across AAA, AA, indie and mobile, we saw the same pattern repeat. Strong creative vision, positive early signals, supportive feedback — followed by hesitation, funding friction, or underperformance once real commitments were made.Not because the games were bad — but because there was no shared, defensible evidence to support high-stakes decisions early enough. GameDataCore exists to close that gap.

THE GAP

The market doesn't need more dashboards. It needs fewer bad decisions.

What teams say

“Working with GameDataCore helped us look beyond surface-level performance and understand what was really driving player response over time. The analysis didn't just confirm that players were broadly positive — it highlighted where expectations, comprehension, and confidence were starting to drift in ways that aren't obvious from sentiment or sales alone. That gave us a clearer, defensible basis for deciding where to invest, what to prioritise, and how to communicate those choices with confidence both internally and externally.”
Shaun Lewis

Director of Ops, Wales Interactive

“GameDataCore helped us more clearly understand our audience and to talk about our work with more clarity and conviction. The analysis didn't just confirm that players loved the game and why, but showed who they were, their thoughtful and discerning nature, and why their praise carries so much weight. That insight helped us move away from positioning the game as 'family-friendly' and instead stand confidently behind it as a prestigious narrative indie. GameDataCore provided the evidence and support to help us reposition the game, refine our messaging, and clearly articulate the strength of our track record as a studio, which has put us in a stronger position for our new project.”

Democratizeddecision intelligence

GameDataCore is designed to be accessible to small teams, while scaling naturally as projects grow in complexity, audience size, and commercial impact.

As your community grows, your sales increase, or your team expands, the amount of data required to produce accurate, defensible outputs increases as well. Processing more evidence is not an arbitrary cost — it is what allows decisions to remain grounded as stakes rise.

We don't charge teams for ambition. We charge for the evidence required to support it.

As decisions lead to success, GameDataCore scales alongside you — supporting larger audiences, higher expectations, and more complex trade-offs without forcing teams into a different class of tooling.

Each Core has a different price per seat.

CoreFeedback

CoreFeedback turns player feedback into structured decision intelligence. It ingests reviews and community discussions, materialising hundreds of structured feedback and profile signals — revealing not just what is being said, but who is saying it and why. Understand how player segments are shifting over time, identify the tensions that matter, and know what needs to change to attract, engage and retain them. Act with evidence. Learn continuously. Improve with confidence.

Enterprise

Coming soon

Same evidence engine, deployed on premises — for teams that need local inference, unlimited processing, and full data sovereignty.

From £5000/mo · Per Core + Deployment, setup, and hardware costs

Example credit costs

Credits are used when the system performs compute-intensive reasoning. Below are example actions and their cost — from light (e.g. review analysis) to heavy (e.g. causal chain generation).

CoreFeedbackTime-window Reanalysis1
CoreFeedbackExport / Report Gen1
CoreFeedbackOutcome Tracking (per decision/day)1
CoreFeedbackDecision Context Reweight2
CoreFeedbackUpdate Impact Analysis5
CoreFeedbackDecision Record Creation5

How pricingworks

Your seat includes full access to the platform and continuous data ingestion. Processing credits are used only when the system performs compute-intensive reasoning to generate new evidence — such as inference, analysis, causal chain generation, or counterfactual simulation.

As more teams use the platform, shared baselines improve — making the system smarter for everyone without increasing your seat cost. You're never charged for browsing insights, revisiting analyses, or collaborating with your team. You pay for evidence generation — not dashboards, access, or curiosity.

When Enterprisemakes sense

Enterprise is not a premium tier — it's a deployment choice.

  • Typically makes sense once monthly cloud credit usage consistently exceeds ~£25K–£50K
  • Dedicated hardware is more cost-efficient than cloud inference
  • Large-scale benchmarking or counterfactual simulation becomes continuous
  • Data residency, sovereignty, or security policy requires local control

The evidence engine, Cores, and decision surfaces remain the same. You're choosing where the system runs, not what it can do.
