Can you merge the variants of the 'Hidden Object' genre? And if it qualifies for the criteria, add it as a suggested tag as well in the dropdown list?

It helps specify what type of puzzle game it is when some of them are built entirely on this mechanic. From experience, when I play Fresh/Featured/Popular puzzle games I do encounter them by chance (larger number than the tag use frequency would suggest), but they are difficult to find by search since the generic puzzle tag is used instead which is saturated.

• hidden-object (124)
• hidden (37)
• hidden-objects (35)
• hiddenobject (10)
• hiddenobjects (3)

Combined: 209

I think that hidden-object is the correct tag, since the genre is normally known as 'Hidden Object Game' and there's also a 'Hidden Object' tag on Steam. 

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is still monitored, but it'd be good to have a "ROM" or "original hardware" tag that indicates that the game actually runs on a retro system, rather than just adopting its general aesthetic.

Hello

I’d like to suggest the addition of the ‘Amare’ tag. We now have over 235+ games using it as a tag  - https://itch.io/games/tag-amare 

I've also submitted a `Suggest description for this tag` as well but I have listed it below too. 

Description

"An inclusive term that describes relationship-focused Visual Novels and Interactive Fiction games that feature a wide range of diversity such as racial, religious, and LGBTQA+ as well as more."

Thanks!

I would like to bring to attention three new "Suggested Tags"

"Monster-Girl"
which should merge:
"monster-girl" - 115 results
"monster-girls" - 76 results
"monstergirl" - 58 results
"monstergirls" - 25 results

I've heard a bunch of developers starting to grumble about how traffic gets divided into four streams which kind of prevents the entire genre from establishing itself on Itch.IO. It should be emphasized that this is considered very distinct from the "furry" category as "monster-girls" are considered much, much more human-like in nature/appearance. And many developers specifically want and need to emphasize that their content isn't so extreme as to be considered "furry."

"Femdom"
which should merge:
"femdom" - 233 results
"female-domination" - 31 results
"femaledomination" - 2 results

It is rather important for the former to have the latter as an official tag as it has big implications to viewers whether the former genre contains the latter content (very common but not always). In the second tag, there is a split between the long-word and its more commonly used abbreviation in pop-culture and as is commonly used as shorthand label on other store-page websites.

"Vore"
which should merge:
"vore" - 270 results
"vorarephilia" - 0 results (but it is the full technical term)

Also a tag with a lot of cross-over interest that people will want to be informed if a title contains said content because it's a very specific imaginary interest to find or avoid.

----
All three of these categories are devoted interests with approximately 250+ titles in each. Unifying and elevating them to official capacity would greatly improve the experience for customers browsing and relevant developers alike. All three as prominent options would be helpful for devs to be aware that they can tag titles in multiple of these categories. If made official, I'm certain that some of these categories would actually grow quite significantly in count, adding a few hundred more results, as there are many titles that technically fall into these categories but are not advertised as such.

https://itch.io/games/tag-unity has 100k games

https://itch.io/games/made-with-unity has 250k games

Overlap is only 50k. Which should make 300k total.

It gets more complicated for rpg maker. But my point is, that meta-infos are mixed in inconsistently with the regular tags. Someone searching Unity games will not find most of them if listening to the suggested tags. https://itch.io/tags/tools 

And even with the made-with tag, about 50k will not be found. I would dislike searching twice and I think many people would not even realize that there are two tags saying the same, one a regular tag, one a meta tag, and that there is a huge lack of overlap.
