I'm hoping to become the wowhead for this game. Players use my website to theorycraft about the game both as they're playing and when they're idly musing.
It took me about three weeks to build what you see linked above and I get ~12k tracked pageviews per day, trending slightly upward right now. A lot of the effort was being the first mover and marketing aggressively to Reddit/Discord/Twitch until it spread readily by word of mouth. It's not a very defensible moat aside from being a household name, at least at the moment.
Crossing my fingers the traffic triples when the game exits beta, but who knows. I need to start running AdSense on it to recoup the Vercel costs, clean up the mobile UI, and implement some features that lesser known competitors have that I've been too lazy to follow up on.
It's certainly the project I've been least passionate about and yet have had the most success with relative to amount of effort committed. Funny how that works.
It's a companion website for an upcoming game called The Bazaar, https://playthebazaar.com/
