Sick of Cannibal Chefs and Spoiler Hell? Dev Hacks 'Dead Plate' RNG with Astro + Tailwind, Drops Open-Source Ending Oracle

A developer, inspired by the indie horror RPG "Dead Plate" by RachelDrawsThis, has created an open-source ending calculator to help players navigate the game's complex mechanics. Frustrated by the game's opaque random number generator and hidden stats, the developer reverse-engineered the decision tree and built HorrorHub, an interactive calculator and character database. Using Astro and Tailwind CSS, the site provides a fast and user-friendly experience, with a JSON structure mapping the game's logic. The calculator predicts which of the four endings players will get based on their choices. The developer has open-sourced the entire JSON dataset on GitHub, allowing others to use the data for wiki or AI agent development. The project aims to expand to other mechanics-heavy horror games, with the developer seeking feedback from Astro developers and fans of indie horror. The initiative demonstrates the potential for community-driven solutions to enhance gaming experiences.
