Hello Product Hunt 👋! I'm releasing a game for Steam (my 3rd) in March. And while a website isn't a huge source of revenue for an indie game that is primarily on Steam & XBOX, it *is* still important. It is also a *pain* to build one. I hated building the last two, and I knew I didn't want to build another one for the new game (Skipper 2). You have to design a site, write content, structure it, link out to socials, Steam, pick a host, upload, etc - it's a pain, and time consuming. I figured there was a collection of perfectly good content, the same content more or less I'd need for the game website that was already created - on Steam. I started writing a script to assemble the site from Steam, and then realized that this would probably be really useful to a lot of indie developers. So I set aside some of my schedule from Skipper 2 to build it, and crtrdg was born. I have a roadmap of feature additions for the next few months, including extending support for importing from platforms beyond Steam (Play Store, App Store, and Epic), and one-click export so if you want you can make the site with crtrdg and host elsewhere you can. If you have any questions or feedback please do post or find me on X @mrwhoof. Thanks for checking crtrdg out! I can't wait to hear all your feedback!

I really dig this. I know a couple of folks who don't think about making a landing page and simply just publish on steam or itch.io, so this is a genius way to make the process a lot easier. Congrats on the launch @tophermade! It'd be awesome to add Steam login to verify game ownership, or is this done differently right now?

@gabe that's exactly the idea, steam login to verify & also get data from games that are in draft, long term. right now focusing on getting the first 100 or so users to see how they use it and what they need. issues around ownership I'll handle manually in the mean time.

@tophermade sounds like a solid game plan. Excited to see how this grows!
