I had written a comment here about 3 months ago accentuating my love for this game and how it is miles ahead of any other game I've played of its nature on this site. It seems to have disappeared now, so I thought Id write another so that others will come to know it's greatness! ^_^!!!! Both the story and the scenes are absolutely unparalleled! DS IS THE BEST!

Hey Zetan, why do you replace the whole game's page at each new version instead of merely adding a new page into your game development log as every other developer here does? 🤔
As Angel Avalon and pirtch stated here, replacing the game page actually causes many issues such as losing all community interactions and removing your game from collections without any notification, I just noticed that you don't even use Itch's game development log feature which Itch specifically provides to allow creators to keep a changelog during their game's development and announce each of their update's content as you have been doing in the very game's description which is not the ideal place for a changelog, you are not making the best use of Itch's provided features. 😟
Actually, come to think of it, you have been using the game's description place as a changelog and you don't even provide any description of your game which is why people always comment to ask "what is this game about?" since you don't provide any description of your game beside its changelog which doesn't explain anything to people who discover your game for the first time and know nothing about it. 😅
I didn't notice it until now because I already knew this game for years so I didn't need to read its description anymore but now that other players mention it, they are right, you have been misusing Itch features because you have not been using Itch game page development log feature to specifically announce each content update and you have been misusing the very game's description as a changelog and not even providing any actual game description instead which is why you have been replacing the very game page at each update and losing all community interactions and removing your game from collections without any notice and as some people already stated, your misuse of Itch features has been causing issues and you need to use Itch features right as in do not replace your game page, do not include any version in the game page name, use the game description place to actually provide a description of your game for people who discover it for the first time and have no idea what it is about and use the game development log feature to keep a log of the game's development and announce and explain each update then all aforementioned issues will be solved. 😉
