Game Release Notifier Bot

Track game releases. All inclusive discord bot acts as a full app you can add, search, view and get notified of released games. Currently uses giantbomb api for game data. built for sqlite3 only no orm cross db support. I wanted to make a full proper notifier app and the challenge of working within discord.js more limited scope was fun but also I think suited the project better as the end goal of this is to be alerted of unreleased games.

This was built with Discord.js, SQLite3, Node-Cron, Typescript

Screenshots

• Search for games to add. Uses giantbomb api, limited 10 results max per search

• Add games your interested in. Some games won't have a release date, games will update once they get a release date

• Get notified when they release! Releases send in selected channel selected in settings
