In this project, I collaborated with Gabriele Ghiotto to analyze a video game dataset from Kaggle to answer some questions about the history of the video game industry like:
- What is the most successful video game in history?
- What is the most successful publisher?
- What is the most successful game franchise?
- What is the historical development of publishers, game platforms, and genres?
The dataset used in the project is an excerpt from a dataset available on Kaggle which contains the data about video games from 1980 to 2016 such as a game's publisher, genre, platform, and sales (global and by market). Game franchises were scraped from Wikipedia using the script available in this repository.
You can install all the necessary libraries to run the project by running:
conda create --name <env_name> --file requirements.txt
if using conda.
