AI-Powered Gaming Platform Skillprint Launches Science-Backed Game Ratings to Match Players with Mood and Skill-Based Games

Today, science-backed AI powered gaming platform Skillprint announced the launch of new ratings for games based on a first-of-its-kind pairing of neuroscience research and machine learning. Skillprint's ratings consider a number of criteria, evaluating games for their effect on a person's mind, mood and unique skills to match individuals with the best games for them.

Founded in 2019 by gaming industry heavyweights Chethan Ramachandran and Davin Miyoshi , the San Francisco Bay area based start-up was born out of a desire to see games used for a greater purpose and help people feel better through gameplay. The founders bring a unique vision and expertise to the opportunity; Ramachandran previously founded Playnomics, a predictive analytics company sold to Unity in 2014 now processing 1.5 billion devices monthly as Unity Analytics. Miyoshi founded Mesmo, a social/mobile games company sold to GSN, and co-founded GSN Games to 75M+ users.

Ramachandran and Miyoshi have turned their talents to exploring the intersection between gaming and cognitive science. Skillprint uses powerful AI technology and builds on years of cognitive science research to study how people play games and glean unique insights into an individual's personality traits, skills and mindset. The platform now offers unique game ratings, analyzing 135 separate game characteristics to rate games for skills assessment and mood, matching users with personalized game recommendations. Skillprint rates the 40+ games on its own platform at skillprint.co , and rates and ranks existing third party mobile games. The company plans to scale its consumer offering for game players and work with game developers to help them find the right players for their games.

Co-founder Chethan Ramachandran said; " Mobile gaming sometimes gets a bad rap, but people often ignore the many and varied benefits of gaming. For years, scientists have used games to test people's cognitive abilities, learning more about how the mind works; many studies show the clinical benefits of using games to reduce stress amongst military personnel.

It's very hard to understand how your own mind works - people spend their whole lives trying to figure this out. Who doesn't want to know more about who they are and feel better? Our hypothesis is that games can do both. We're blending leading AI with cognitive science best practices, and building a personalized path for each of our users to help them learn more about themselves and shift their moods with games."

To date, Skillprint has raised $3.5m in previously unannounced pre-seed funding from leading investors at the intersection of games, cognitive science, and human potential. Investors include Shanda Ventures, LearnStart, Niremia Collective, and a number of private individuals with decades of experience and clout in the gaming world.

With a growing monthly user base and 40+ curated games already available on its platform, the company captures and analyzes an average of 1,200 events per active user to predict personality traits and skills.

GameStop Frenzy Cools, E*Trade Considers Roaring Kitty Ban

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
