ERATOGAME COMPANION TOOLS

Find the useful tool before building the big wiki.

EratoGame is the incubator for emerging games: we test a focused planner, calculator, tracker, or archive inside the hub first. A separate domain is a graduation decision, not the starting point.

BUILD FIRST

Five candidates for a real tool

5 candidates
01BUILD FIRST

My Own Hero Party

Party / Talent Planner

The game has a natural party-building decision loop that can be useful before a complete wiki exists.

Next: Validate planner intent with search and community questions, then ship a small build board.

02BUILD FIRST

Zone Idle

Items / Loadout Builder

A structured item and loadout model creates repeat visits without needing a generic walkthrough library.

Next: Confirm item data and build a comparison-first prototype inside the Erato hub.

03BUILD FIRST

Game About Botting

Bot Configuration Builder

The unusual configuration problem is more defensible than a standard game-wiki page.

Next: Document safe, game-agnostic configuration concepts before adding game-specific presets.

04BUILD FIRST

Terraformer Wars

Build Planner

Build choices are a clear tool surface and can be tested before a large database.

Next: Map the core choices, resource dependencies, and minimum viable planner state.

05BUILD FIRST

Dynamine

Upgrade / Route Planner

Dynamine already has a useful guide foundation; the next defensible layer is an interactive route or upgrade tool.

Next: Extend the existing hub instead of creating a second domain or another overview page.

OBSERVE FIRST

Promising, but not ready for a content sprint

5 candidates

The Grand Book Archive

Archive / Discovery Index

The archive concept is promising, but the data model and repeat-use trigger need more evidence first.

Next: Keep it in Radar and collect demand signals before committing to a full hub.

Earth ReGen

Progression Planner

Potentially useful progression decisions are present, but lifecycle and search demand are not yet strong enough.

Next: Watch updates and community questions for 7–14 days.

Legendum

Build / Collection Tool

A collection system could support a tool, but it needs verified data and a sharper first intent.

Next: Do not generate a generic wiki; wait for a concrete calculator or planner query.

Cycle of the First Dawn

Build Planner

The game has a possible planning angle, but the current signal is not enough for an independent site.

Next: Keep the candidate in the Erato hub and re-check lifecycle plus SERP opportunity.

Booster Pack Heroes

Pack / Build Planner

Existing content can evolve into a useful planning tool, while unsupported exact odds should stay out.

Next: Use verified demo data only and label all future roadmap content explicitly.

THE GATES

What earns a build

  • A high-traffic game is not automatically a good hub candidate.
  • G1 is player help intent, G2 is lifecycle, and G3 is winnable SERP opportunity.
  • If generic wiki competitors dominate, mark G3_FAIL_GENERIC_WIKI and build only a genuinely differentiated tool — or do not build.
  • A new game starts in the EratoGame hub; an independent domain is considered only after sustained search demand, tool usage, and a weak competitive SERP.

GRADUATION

When a tool can leave the hub

  • Stay in EratoGame until at least 3–4 weeks of Search Console and on-site tool-use signals are available.
  • Require a repeatable intent such as planner, calculator, loadout, archive, or tracker — not just “wiki”.
  • Spin off a standalone site only when the tool has a clear audience and the SERP is not already owned by authority wikis.
