Thank you, I'm glad to get validation from someone directly involved with recruitment!
I think a lot of people overlook how important it is to account for people doing recruitment related tasks. Scalability and simplicity really shine for that.

My first two games were built with my own hacky web sockets implementation. From a software perspective it's pretty messy, but it gets the job done haha.
I actually had built an alpha version of my 3rd game with my own networking code, but because it is more of a real-time game, there were tons of bugs. Switching to use Hathora for the back-end logic has made the game much more stable so I can finally work to release the game.
You can check out my first two games here: https://gomobo.app/. They play kind of similar to Jackbox games, but with more strategy board game elements. Would love to hear what you think!

Not dsiddharth, but for what it's worth I am using Hathora for my upcoming game (it's almost complete!). Their product still very new, but they have been extremely helpful with every step of the process building with Hathora.
They have two products - an open-source dev framework (free) and a cloud-hosting product (paid).
My games will likely never reach millions players, but my first two games led to over 1,000 sign-ups and I've made over $1k in revenue (which I'm super proud of). I can report back with how my newest game does after it launches.

I’ve gotten to know Harsh and we even built a game together with Hathora. We made a digital board game together in a week.
I’m a dev that makes web games (gomobo.app) but I’ve always wanted to spend more time building the game logic and UI and less on the networking and infrastructure stuff. I think Hathora is a great way to make your next game idea wayyy faster.

I was looking for something like this, thanks for sharing!
Can I ask how you are sourcing/populating your data?

It's a one-time payment for all games. And only one player needs to own the game in order to host and play with anyone.
Games are priced between $8-12. Once I release my third game I am going to sell my games as a bundle (similar to Jackbox Party Packs)
