Project 01: The Discovery Ethos
Beyond the
Marketplace.
Digitalfield began as a whispered conversation in a late-night Discord server. While the mainstream app stores became cluttered with predatory monetization and algorithmic noise, we were trading APK files for obscure indie RPGs that had one thing in common: soul.
Today, that grassroots discovery ethos remains our core operational directive. We aren't here to level up your game; we are here to audit the digital landscape and find the rare experiences that respect your time, your battery, and your privacy.

The Standard for Vetting.
Our vetting process is not a suggestion—it is a binary gate. If an application fails to meet the internal thresholds of our device farm testing, it is permanently blacklisted.
Decision Lens: Criteria Matrix
SCANNED: 20-POINT CHECKLIST
The Curation Unit.
A specialized collective of three former QA testers who left the AAA industry to pursue gaming without the noise.
Lead Analyst // Core Systems
K. Arslan
Burned out after 10 years of mobile crunch. Now hunts for high-fidelity assets that run on hardware from 2018.
UX Auditor // Human Factors
E. Demir
Identifies "flow-state" moments. If a game asks for a notification permission in the first 30 seconds, she flags it.
Net-Code specialized // Latency
O. Yildiz
Tests server stability across the Marmara region. He keeps our 'Latency Diagnosis' logs honest and up-to-date.
Method Note: The Hardware Stress Test.
Robustness isn't a buzzword; it's a 14-day testing cycle. We utilize a dedicated device farm of 12 distinct models—ranging from flagship iPhones to five-year-old budget Android handsets common in rural areas. We monitor for thermal throttling specifically in high-ambient temperature environments, mimicking Istanbul's peak summer conditions.
Constraints Panel
- • Regional server latency (Avg. ping: 45ms - 120ms)
- • Variable display refresh rates (Locking at 60Hz vs 120Hz)
- • Aggressive background process killing on local firmware
When a developer updates their app, we re-evaluate within 48 hours. If a patch introduces a dark pattern or doubles the file size with redundant telemetry, we strip the 'Digitalfield Standard' badge immediately. We optimize for your storage—not a publisher's quarterly report.
Audit Summary
Questions for Digitalfield.
Query 01
How do you monetize without compromising curators?
We reject all paid placements. Revenue is generated solely through a small Patreon community and affiliate links that are clearly marked; these never influence our mandatory 16/20 scoring threshold.
Query 02
What happens when a game violates the Standard post-launch?
We pull the recommendation immediately and publish a post-mortem. We believe transparency regarding developer "bait-and-switch" tactics is more valuable than the initial review.
Query 03
Do you support developers within the Turkish gaming ecosystem?
Priority is given to local indie studios. We offer technical auditing to Turkish developers for free to help them reach international performance benchmarks without sacrificing localized nuance.
Query 04
How is "Time to Fun" measured?
It is a quantitative metric logging the minutes from first-launch to reaching a meaningful gameplay loop, minus any forced tutorials or data downloads.
Query 05
Is your device farm publicly verifiable?
Yes. We maintain a public repository of our current hardware testing stack and battery drain logs for every app we curate.
