Steam City
Your Steam library as a 3D city you can walk through
Paste your Steam ID and see your library reimagined as a 3D city. Every game becomes a building. The more you've played it, the taller it gets. Unplayed games stay dark. Walk through your skyline, climb leaderboards, find out how much shame you've collected. Free, no signup.
Hey Product Hunt,
I built TheSteamCity over the last 6 months as a side project. The idea started one night when I looked at my Steam library and realized I owned 800 games but had only played about 40 of them. The number was embarrassing, but it also got me curious about what my library would look like if it were a real place.
So I built it.
Here's how it works. You paste a Steam ID (yours or anyone's with a public profile) and the site generates a 3D city based on that library. Every game becomes a building. The taller and wider, the more you've played it. Unplayed games are dark and small, sitting at the back of the city like a backlog you've been avoiding.
You can click any building to see your stats for that game. Walk through your own city in third person or fly around it in first person. There's a shame report that tells you how much you've spent on unplayed games, with an optional AI roast that isn't always kind. Compare your profile head to head with anyone else's. Climb leaderboards (most games owned, most playtime, biggest backlog). Export a 4K wallpaper.
Built solo with Three.js and Next.js, hosted on Vercel. Around 6,400 cities have been generated so far. Most of the early traction came from a Reddit post on r/dataisbeautiful that did unexpectedly well.
It's free. No signup needed to view a city. If you want to claim your own building, customize a character, and earn XP from battling other players, you sign in with Steam, but everything is opt-in.
Three questions I'd love feedback on:
1. Does the city feel readable on first load or is it overwhelming?
2. Does the shame score land as funny, or does it feel mean?
3. The world view (zoomed out, with mountains and a lake) versus the city view, which one do you prefer?

Happy to answer anything technical or anything about the project.
