Tool F95 Game Update Watcher

[seigram]

Yes, another one... Why? Well, if I would of thought to look in this section first, I might made use of one of the many others listed here. However, I'm a developer, and my first instinct is usually to waste my time coding something myself. So I did, and thought I'd share it.

Pretty simple, add games to 'follow' and check back periodically to see if any have been updated. Has the ability to attach one of a couple different status options to a game if you are into that sort of thing. Keeps things updated through an internal database and usage of the F95zone latest updates RSS feed. Has basic filtering, if you are looking for a particular game you are following. Add games to your list through a search, looking them up by either the game name or F95zone thread url.

What it doesn't do: It does not provide download links, change logs, etc.. I didn't want to replace the need for coming to this site, just help myself find updates instead of having to check the latest updates link every day. There is a link to each game's thread so you can easily read the change log and download the updates.

The tool is a website, and you need to be logged in to make use of it. Login is done via Google integration - simply log in with any google account you have. I do not store, track or request permissions to anything related to your account - it is just an easy/quick way to implement user accounts without doing much work myself .

Anyway, enough babbling. The tool is

You must be registered to see the links

, signing in the first time automatically creates you account.

Thanks!

One big flaw is the Google login. I try to avoid google as much as i can. The less they know about me the better.

Nice one, seigram.

But even with the key generated it seems to show only some specific games; if you use a anonymous tab.
It doesn't show the games you specify it to follow.

For instance, I added two games: Eternum and Deviant Anomalies. Using the browser with the google credentials it shows, for exemple, the correct rss feed. But if I try another browser or a anonymous tab it shows 20 other games: An Ordinary Girl, Bad Memories, Ero Manager, and so on... that have been recently updated, ignoring your choices.

Any idea?

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but is this still supposed to be working? I've been using it for quite a while, but in the past couple days the site only shows a weird message about having no sponsors for me...

If this doesn't work anymore - although I feel a little embarrassed for shilling my own tool - give my discord bot a try? F95 Thread to it.
It does the same thing as this tool, but it sends you a DM on discord when there's an update instead of showing it on a website for you.

It's not a b ad alternative, but I'd have trouble repopulating the list... The site is back now, I'll try and export a list of games so if it goes down again I can give the discord bot a try. Thanks for the anwer, btw!

When you do end up making the list, you can import them with the bot using `/import_watchlist` and feeding it a text file.

The text file needs to have one thread per line and it'll work, like this:

https://f95zone.to/threads/2
