Would be cool to have some way to distinguish jams based on some categories/tags. E.g. if you are interested only in video games jams, you are probably not interested in tabletop jams, content creation jams etc. Or maybe you want to see which jams allow AI generated or NSFW content. Or maybe you want to filter out jams that are restricted to specific groups of participants. Things like this.

I second that but on a store-wide level.

While I don’t have issues with solo-developers making use of AI-generated content, I don’t want to use it myself. For me it is fairly annoying to look through dozens of asset packs on the store page, find something I like and then, often have to go through each individual item and discover its AI-generated and unusable for me.

So it would be nice if new projects have a mandatory field: Uses AI-generated content -> Yes/No And it would be nice for the individual user to able to filter the store on that category or more specifically hide AI-generated content from their store experience.

Same goes for the NSFW. I personally don’t mind it, but I can see people not wanting to see stuff under other tags for personal and professional reasons. But fortunately, here the appropiate tags for NSFW already exist and a filter for that would be nice as well.

And to bring it back to the GameJams, of course those options could be included for those purposes as well.

Edit: Alternatively and maybe even better: itch could blur/grey out the thumbnails and/or put a visible warning in it, when the filter is active, instead of hiding them. That way those items don’t neccessarily lose “discoverability”/store-positioning but are easily recogniseable as content you might not want to click on.

I think that would be a fair compromise for end-users wanting to filter stuff, creators of such material not wanting to lose potential customers and itch itself having to balance both.
