Reddit reviews Midgame

Hi /r/stardewvalley! OP here. Wanted to share a project my friend Wayne and I have been working on for the past few months: a voice assistant for Stardew Valley. (We got permission from the mods to post about it)

A bit about us: we met at Etsy.com and really liked working together. We decided to quit our jobs to build something we loved. After exploring a couple projects, we realized what we really loved was video games. Since we didn't know how to make a game, we decided to build tools for gamers.

About the project: We love the story, freedom, creativity, and depth of Stardew. We've both felt the pain of having to alt-tab to the wiki to figure out where to find a certain character (so you can complete that quest before time runs out!) or accidentally giving someone the wrong gift and hurting your friendship. We use voice assistants in other areas of our lives - so why not for games?

How it works: connect to the assistant (we named it "GA") on Discord, Alexa, or Google Assistant, ask about something and get an answer back in seconds. We have 8000+ answers in the system so far and adding new ones all the time based on questions people ask.

Try it out: We've been testing GA with a few dozen folks but wanted to expand it to a larger group for further refinement. Please give it a whirl and let us know what you think!
