Viewing post in give up on engines

1) i talk more about https://itch.io/game-development/engines than about some generic tag.

2) been trying myself to add a tool via official page to add it but nothing happened (waited year for anything to happen and i still don't see pocket platformer on that list cause it was that tool i tried to submit)

3) i just prefer to not have information than have wrong information (here for example if i select opensource tools it hides some other still opensource tools which are only less used)

4) i am talking (trying to talk) to mods of itch…

5) yep, i also talk about meta-information where i tried to add things too

If you already suggested this engine to be included in the meta info, the actual Itch staff that deals with these things did not approve. Like they also did not for the hundreds of other tools that are not available in the meta-info.

Maybe Itch will overhaul and exapand the meta section someday. I specifically do not like that there is a Unity tag and a Unity meta-info and that those lists are not the same. Stuff like that might be solved with aliases.

In the meantime, if you want to have the engine you used listed on your game's info box, use a regular tag. https://itch.io/games/tag-pocket-platformer and can also credit it in your game's description.
