[B6] Collection and saga completion (TMDB collections)
Backlog, viability to be confirmed.
TMDB exposes a film's collection membership (belongs_to_collection): Alien, Star Wars, Fast & Furious. That gives a bounded, non-farmable object to complete.
Why it is interesting
- A "5/9" gauge on a saga is a natural discovery objective, not a consumption counter.
- It answers the completion problem directly: a saga is a bounded set, so completing it means something, unlike "I finished one series".
- It is as much a catalogue feature as a gamification one — the gauge is useful even without an achievement attached.
To check
- Coverage and reliability of the TMDB collection data.
- Equivalents in the other domains (game series via IGDB, book series via Open Library) — probably much weaker.
- One achievement per saga would flood the catalogue; aggregate them ("3 complete sagas").
Depends on: [G2]/[G3] achievement system.
Other domains: the data is there
On the "equivalents in the other domains" point above: three sources already return what a completion gauge needs.
- Artist: MusicBrainz browses an artist's release groups (
artist: artistId), for "7 / 12 Radiohead albums". - Author: Open Library's
author:"…"search, for "3 / 9 Le Guin". - Franchise: IGDB already returns
franchises.gamesinDETAIL_FIELDS, for "Zelda 4 / 11".
Crossed with the library, this is the saga mechanism (already shipped for video, books and games, $lib/saga.ts) applied to artists, authors and franchises.
