I just shut down a companion app for a game I'd reverse engineered — developed over the last 2-3 months. The companion app, among other things:
- Generated insights — https://bizarre.gg/meta https://bizarre.gg/meta
- Show detailed interactive gameplay logs (from "Umami" analytic events) — https://bizarre.gg/runs/00493ccf-5b96-523c-beb4-06e8154cc158 https://bizarre.gg/runs/00493ccf-5b96-523c-beb4-06e8154cc158

I used Umami and mention it in the video. Admittedly, it was a mistake for my use case. I had to heavily modify Umami due to lack of features and performance issues. There are a also lot of bugs in the project which are immediately revealed simply by enabling TypeScript strict flags, and some more linting rules. Granted, I was not really using Umami exactly as intended. I do think it's great this project exists, and whilst I had to heavily modify it for my use case, I did at least help the upstream project diagnose one issue: https://github.com/umami-software/umami/pull/2946#issuecomment-2477095367 https://github.com/umami-software/umami/pull/2946#issuecomme...
- echelon 2y agoThe company that made the game (Tempo Games) sent you a cease and desist? That's not very friendly of them.
- SeanAnderson 2y agoThey also gave him a job offer, but yes, Tempo has been pretty aggressive in trying to keep their game from getting "solved" by third party tooling collecting analytics on the game.
- account42 2y agoAn honest job offer or a "please travel to a jurisdiction where we can more thoroughly fuck you over" offer?
