Building a Better Beast-Battling Experience: My Journey Creating Beasts of Reincarnation Wiki

I'm a developer who loves building side projects, and lately I've been obsessed with a creature-collection game called Beasts of Reincarnation.

The game itself is fantastic—deep mechanics, strategic team-building, and a surprising amount of endgame content. But there was one problem: finding reliable information was a nightmare.

Official resources are limited. Community guides are scattered across Discord servers, random Reddit threads, and outdated Google Docs. Some are outdated, some are incomplete, and some are just plain wrong. I spent hours cross-referencing conflicting information just to figure out basic evolution mechanics.

So I did what any developer would do: I built a solution.

Introducing the Beasts of Reincarnation Wiki — a community-driven guide site designed to centralize everything players need to know.

Here's what I focused on:

Clean, distraction-free UI — no ads, no popups, just information

Mobile-first responsive design — because I know you're checking evolutions on your phone at 2 AM

Systematically organized data — evolution lines, item locations, team compositions, and more

The tech stack? Next.js for the frontend, Tailwind for styling, and a custom content pipeline that scrapes and structures game data. It was a solid challenge in data normalization and static site generation.

I've been using it myself for the past few weeks, and it's already saved me dozens of hours of wiki-diving.

If you're playing the game—or just curious about how I built it—come take a look: Beasts of Reincarnation Wiki. And if you spot something missing, let me know. I'm always looking to improve it.

Feedback welcome, especially from fellow devs! 🙌
