"space" is a word with many meanings. In the context of games, it is about outer space. Usually science fiction. Often with space ships.
Are you a complete idiot? It says 3D and at the bottom it says space and a link to the article "3D computer game". What the fuck is space? Three-dimensional space. Where the fuck is space? There's not a single space game on that site.
(spatial)? Well, you're an idiot. You should at least read in which cases this word is used and what it means.

Quotations from Russian classics with the word "spatial"
- Being became sick: everything became temporal, i.e., disappearing and arising, dying and being born; everything became spatial, i.e., limited and alienated in its parts, close and distant; it became material, i.e., heavy, subject to necessity; everything became limited and relative, subject to the laws of logic.
Berdyaev N. A., Philosophy of Freedom, 1911
- The spiritual and cultural decentralization of Russia, which is absolutely inevitable for our national health, cannot be understood as a purely external spatial movement from the metropolitan centers to the backwoods provinces.
Berdyaev N. A., The Fate of Russia, 1917
- So, in order to conceive of human action subject to one law of necessity, without freedom, we must allow for the knowledge of an infinite number of spatial conditions, an infinitely great period of time, and an infinite series of causes.

No one uses the word spatial in the context of number of dimensions. Even in your own language there is the phrase "three dimensions of space". Or "space-time".
The usual abreviation is three-dimensional and not space. And even that gets shortened to 3d.
And the full text, three dimensions of space. If the tag is called 3D, how to specify in one word that it is about three dimensions? Right, add the word "Пространство".
The issue is, that tagging a game "3d" is not the same as saying it is a three dimensional game.
And after saying that, you're lying to me that you understand the meaning of the 3D tag? Tag three is, you stupid idiot, THREE dimensions. If there are no THREE DIMENSIONS in the game, it's not 3D!
If I talk to you and say, let's play this new 3d game, the meaning is clear. But no one is talking to you, when you just read a bunch of tags that are attached to a game.
I run the tags in my head reading them myself. Example tags.
[2019, SLG, 3D, Constructor, ADV, School, Tiny tits, Big tits, Anal, Oral, Group, Uniform].
I'm reading this to myself and I'm insightful. Yep, the game of 2019. A simulation game (SLG means simulator). The game is three dimensional (there's a 3D tag in there). You can construct something in the game (usually meaning character constructor). The game is about school. And so on. I read each tag and realize what exactly is in this game.
If I see turn-based in addition to 3d, and no third-person, first-person or fps, or walking-simulator, I will not assume that it is a "3d game". At least not the game play. There are platformer 2d games that have the character model rendered in 3d. Would they qualify for "3d game". I would say: no. But they totally qualify to be tagged with 3d.
No, that's 3D, too. A platformer in which the environment and character are flat pictures (sprites), completely 2D. A game where the character or the background (or all together) is a three-dimensional model is a three-dimensional game.
There are visual novels where both the background and the character in the background are pictures. And there are rare games where the background is a picture, and the character is a three-dimensional model. And well animated model. And this is a three-dimensional game.
You won't argue that Resident Evil 1996 is a three-dimensional game, will you?
Are you having trouble with a 3d platformer because there are 3D models but you can't rotate the camera? And what then to speak about visual novels there are only pictures, animations and videos. There are no three-dimensional models at all. Can such games be called three-dimensional?
About the categories. Whatever word you use in your language seems to have not the exact same meaning in English.
The categories are best told by a live example. You have a real physical object. I don't know, a plate, for example. You have to put it into some category (put it in a drawer when you move to another apartment). Where do you put the plate? Probably in a drawer labeled "kitchen" or "utensils." That's it, you've already put the plate in that category, you only have one plate, you can't put one item in two different categories.
And now the tag (or label, they're synonyms). You can put the plate in any box you want, and put stickers on the box - plates, utensils, kitchen, fragile, do not drop, and so on. There are many tags, one category.
I already did, but here again: it means that the chooser of the tag was of the opinion that the tag was appropriate. Nothing more, nothing less.
So the tag by itself doesn't mean anything? Authors add tags to themselves not because tags have a definition, but because.... I don't know, the letters in the tag are pretty? 3D looks like a smiley face with glasses. Or because this "smiley face" is often used, so I'll add it for myself.
Is that the principle behind tags? Add a tag because you like it, not because it has a definition?
For 3d I expect the game having to do something with 3d.
You're an idiot. You've proven it again. Where in that tag does it say this game has to be for adults? It doesn't follow from the tag itself. The tag just means that the game is entirely based on rendered images. That's it. The game can be completely childish if the author wants it to be. The problem is that games with such graphics are usually made with adult or erotic content by people who can't draw. It's their choice to create graphics like that. But it doesn't mean that they are obliged to create adult games if they chose this type of graphics creation.
I argued early in this thread, that I believe the 3d tag to be superflous. ...If the main aspect of the game is, that it is a 3d game, third-person or first-person or fps or walking-simulator are better tags.
In some cases, it's important to know if the game is 2D or 3D. The fact that it is three-dimensional is its main feature. There are first-person, second-person and third-person games. But these tags are not suitable for all three-dimensional games. How can I explain this to you. Let's go back to adult games. There's a game called Koikatsu. You know it? In this game, the only guy is transferred to an all-girls school. It's a three-dimensional game. Is it first-person or third-person? Just to remind you, during the sex scenes, the camera is free to move as you please.
Let's take another game as an example. So-called sex simulators. There should obviously be different poses, different actions of the player and different responses to these actions. How to build such a game? You can make a completely two-dimensional game, like the old flash games. But that's boring. You can use "modern" Live2D animation. But in inexperienced hands it looks crooked. Or make a three-dimensional game. Of course for the player is likely to be better to play a three-dimensional game.
Next. Visual novels. They tend to be two-dimensional with flat pictures. But I've seen a few fully three-dimensional visual novels. Or, there are regular visual novels but with fully three-dimensional sex scenes where you can randomly rotate the camera. And this feature could be a major feature of the game.
There are cases where the presence or absence of three-dimensionality is a key feature of the game. Another example. A two-dimensional game was released, and then the developer made a new version of the game (the second part) and put the game fully on three-dimensional rails. This is the key feature of the new game compared to the last part.
Therefore, it is important to specify the three-dimensionality of the game is not appropriate other tag implies three-dimensionality
On the site tags first-person and third-person, not only three-dimensional games are marked.
This is for the popular game Cyberpunk. That is a 3d game. But no 3d tag.
There's another important tag in there. FPS. Shooter, first-person. Are there any 2D first-person shooters?
And you're also missing one very important detail. Cyberpunk is a huge, high-budget game that's been advertised on every radio. Only a man living in a cave would be ignorant of it. Everyone knows it's three-dimensional. Moreover, on the game's page there are videos where you can see that the game is three-dimensional.
The only thing the description does, it spells out what 3d stands for. Three dimensions.
Is there a manga on itch? 0_0
And I repeat my question, are you sure you understand the meaning of "three dimensions"? For manga, you should use the 3D style tag
If the tag description doesn't fit, then why won't they change it?
What would be a 3d comic for you?
This is a comic that is drawn (rendered) in 3D style.
In comics and videos 3D means only the way the graphics are created. It would be more preferable to use the 3DCG tag, but 3D is also suitable because there is no alternative. But in games there is a difference between 3D or 3DCG
From my experience, for this type of game, fps is the most common term, even if no shooting occurs. In recent years, walking-simulator seems to be the word for fps without shooting.
Don't bring the game's FPS into this. Like their walking simulator. What genre is that anyway? And if the game is third-person and there is no walking, but the game is three-dimensional? Can't you understand that? There's no tag that can perfectly replace the 3D tag.
Also, in my experience FPS games are not just first person shooters. They're dynamic, very fast first-person shooters. Shooters are demanding on the player's reaction time. FPS also means frames per second for a reason.
And that reason is, that the 3d tag is often useless, as you also have found out.
That's exactly why I created this thread! The 3d tag is useless! That's what I want to get through to the administration to fix it in future projects. And you're saying to me, "Get over it, you're not getting anywhere." That's fucking great.
But would most devs do that too? And would they do that retroactively?
In hindsight, they are unlikely to fix the tags. But new games might be tagged with the correct tag. And what the hell did you write below?
Просто посмотрите на разработчиков, использующих его, ни один из них не использовал его для игры для взрослых.
On the contrary. Only adult game developers use it. Because in adult game circles, these graphics are the most commonly used. Now pay attention to the question, which you will ignore as usual, find me some 3DCG games that are not adult games. Are there any on the site? There certainly could be, but I've never seen one. And if there are no such games, then developers of children's games have nothing to fear. Even if there are such games, I don't mind if a few 3DCG children's games are tagged 3D.
As was explained to you, that is not a thing the administration controls. Nor were you talking to administration here. This is community. That mod is not itch staff. He does forum moderation. And itch chose not to control it, it is their tagging system and they decided to give the power of tagging to the developers that publish the games. And the developers will see this, if they look for it on the faq:
Our song is good start over.
So the developers don't control the tags. Then, asshole, why the fuck isn't there a 3DCG tag on this page?
Why doesn't the 3DCG tag have a description?
Is it the game developers who didn't want to add the 3DCG tag to the list of all tags? Is it the game developers who didn't want to add a description to the 3DCG tag? Is it all game developers don't want to do? And the site administration has nothing to do with it?
