Description

From the marketplace listing

GameGene records the lineage of game design: which idea in which game came from where, and what it passed on, with sources for every claim. This plugin lets ChatGPT read those records. Ask where a mechanic came from, which games inherited it, which games a creator worked on and what they said about them, or which important games you have not looked at yet. ChatGPT answers from GameGene's sourced records and links to the pages it used. When GameGene has no record of something, it is told to say so instead of guessing, and not to state a claim more strongly than its recorded confidence. What it can read: games and their design moves (claims) with evidence, Genes (families of mechanics), creators and their quotes, trivia, public research notebooks, what readers read most, and readers' research requests. With your own GameGene account it can also read your own records (games you know or want to know, favorites, viewing history, requests and notebooks), returned only to you. The plugin is read-only and never writes to GameGene. Sign in with a GameGene account (Google, X or email). Most records are in Japanese; ChatGPT translates them when you ask in another language. Each account has a daily limit on tool calls.
