SCHNAIL gains popularity

The number of games on SCHNAIL exploded recently. I assume it’s related to the new SCHNAIL stream showing random replays of past games. Is there another source of publicity that I didn’t notice?

Nice job, Sonko and Bytekeeper! I especially like the viewpoint switching and the treatment of fog of war in the replay viewer. Of course, it is a universal constant that there is room for improvement. I wonder: Are new viewers able to tell the bot player from the human player? I can tell easily, but I already know all the bot names.

It seems that the surge of SCHNAIL popularity happened after Firebathero, a former Korean progamer, streamed himself playing a number of games versus top AIs on SCHNAIL: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1018715529 The first SCHNAIL game starts at 02h51m.

Monster is your bot right? Congratz. Can't wait for next update! The game vs firebathero was the best I have seen, truly epic!!!

Gathers / MadMix on :

There has also been a stream with Firebathero playing on SCHNAIL: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1018715529?t=02h50m50s

Sonko on :

It indeed has, and it's been mainly because the FBH stream.

I am curious however, where do you see the actual number increasing? You mentioned you are playing around with the API, is that the source of your well-informedness? :)

Jay Scott on :

I look at all Steamhammer games every day, and don’t use filtering because Steamhammer plays under three names.
