Aaaaah it worked! Thank you Salbei. Indeed the way to do this is to change that project list order on “edit theme” of profile page.

Update: Google told me to change my profile banner and that would change my profile URL preview. That also did not work.

Setbacks, Bugs, and a dead Arc750

I obliterated a graphics card that wasn’t intended to run a 1080p monitor, 4k monitor, and display tablet simultaneously for extended periods of time. Luckily I had a backup, but getting my system up and running amidst my other private projects caused major setbacks on the starter kit.

Coming back to this project after those delays, I ran the web demo and found a slew of bugs that I either didn’t feel like mentioning or simply missed.

• The camera clips through objects ever so slightly, revealing OOB
• Wall surfing continues to gain momentum even if the player is not moving, this is somewhat funny, in a specific spot of the surf pit you can amass a lot of momentum against a wall then slide down to its shallow end to launch yourself really far. Needs tuning, but I don’t think I’ll be removing it on purpose.
• Zooming in and out with the scroll wheel of the mouse is quite buggy. Sometimes you need to use the direction keys for it to work at all. Movement affects the ability for the scroll-wheel to work for some reason.
• The player model flickers in and out of view upon making the initial zoom out of first person, it needs to stay invisible until the camera is far enough away not to be clipped inside of the model.

I’ll leave this topic open to any poor soul who gives the web demo (or downloadable sample game) a try. If you find more bugs, please do tell, I’ll be doing my best to stabilize these issues before moving on with more features.

For anyone wondering whether this post answers my question: No, it does not. That only affects the thumbnail for the specific project not my user profile.

For example, linking my profile (as of right now, May 2nd, 2025) displays a thumbnail for my chain link fence asset, not exactly the most impressive or click-attracting image..

How do I select which of my projects appears as the thumbnail when I share a link to my itch.io profile? I just uploaded some small assets, and it seems like the most recent project gets automatically set, but I’d much prefer my current major project be shown instead for marketing purposes.

I tried searching for an answer, but all I could find was this post on this forum, which got closed and archived with NO responses

A search engine AI answered by telling me how to add my projects to collections and select which collections are featured on my profile, but that doesn’t affect the thumbnail.

Edit: Spelling & Grammar

General Compatibility

Mobile and HTML support is no longer a priority for this project.

Bugs

Careful manipulation of the look-without-moving left click & drag camera control under very specific circumstances may cause the player to continue moving in the current forward direction after movement input is released.

I love the color choices / palette!
