itch.io

Oops not sure where I posted before but indeed “Ideas & Feedback” is where I meant to post, thanks!

Hello,

It would be useful to have tag pages showing all the works with that tag, across all work types: games, books, comics, misc, etc.

The use case I just had now was to link to zines on Itch. They are spread out in different categories and it’s not possible to give only one link, you have to list all the work types:

https://itch.io/books/tag-zine
https://itch.io/comics/tag-zine
https://itch.io/misc/tag-zine
etc.

It would be more practical to be able to link to:

https://itch.io/tag-zine
(not working as of writing)

But that could also work for anything else. If you appreciate, say, solarpunk, and want to see all solarpunk works whether they are games or comics or else, you could just go to the general tag page to discover them.

That’s the idea URL-wire. UI-wise, I think it could at least come up when looking for a tag in the search bar, instead of defaulting to games. There could be more affordances to get to these tag pages, but it’s not necessary at first at least.

Ha! I posted the same in https://itch.io/t/4182603/io-eventual-disappareance haha. Will delete it there so there is no double topic, so here is a copy of what I had wrote (pretty much the same questioning):

.io eventual disappareance

According to https://every.to/p/the-disappearance-of-an-internet-domain :

[…] these rules […] will soon apply to the .io domain. They are firm, and they are clear. Once the country code no longer exists, the domain must cease to exist, too, ideally within three to five years. Like a tenant being told that their landlord is selling up and they must move, every individual and company who uses a .io domain will be told the same.

That’s years away, but that’ll apply to itch.io!

So just starting a discussion about it :)

Branding wise, I guess it could be just “itch”.

Domain wise though, there will have to be some sort of transition to something else.

Not that many straightforward “itch” domains are available, and many are parked like itch.games and itch.com and itch.net. At least itch.io already owns itch.zone, so maybe that might become the main domain?

I have the same issue. Stuck in the cave, read every dialogue, made a hand print, and read the magazine in full several times, including in the room where the whiskey is. But nothing happens.

I absolutely loved the game so far, even though I had to restart it several times because of bugs. But this time, even restarting isn’t helping :’(

Any idea how to get unstuck? I would love to experience the game in full :D

Hey, thanks for commenting :) Yes that makes a lot of sense! Something to implement in a next version… In the meantime, feel free to invent some if you play!

Hi, thanks for your comment! If you don’t have any other fitting clips under hand, they are a quick way to complete a programme and gain some time. The game does need some more testing to be balanced, so if you try playing and realise that loops don’t make that much sense, please let me know :)

Thank you so much for the Linux version! I was waiting for something like this to play the new gardening mode, plus I will finally be able to share the game with my family :)

This is really good news! Thanks for doing this :)
