Game Categories for the Creator page

A useful feature that I think would be worth adding is an ability to create "categories" or "groups".

For example, I would love to split my page into a "game jams" and "normal releases" sections. Currently both kinds of games are shown together in a single grid.

What I want is a layout like this:
Doing that by hand in the HTML is relatively easy as those are just <h2> elements

You're thinking of collections. Add your games to them, then set them to "show on profile". You can add any game (or tool, etc.) to a collection. You can show other people's work as well on your page.

Oh, thanks. I did not knew that you could show collections like that!

That mostly gets me when I wanted to be. I will just have to play around with CSS to make the tiles bigger. But this is great overall.

I tested the collections like Dr. Hippo suggested. And while this mostly achieves what I want. Would it be possible to allow for changing the size of the grid in a collection?

Itch by default uses 3 column wide grid for games and 4 column wide grid for collections.

I tried changing that using the CSS Editor, but when I do so, it breaks on mobile as itch uses 2 wide columns there. Is there any workaround for that? And if not, can it be added as an option?
