hey why is my game not indexed i have checked the terms and conditions and it followed the guidelines. can a mod check on this thx https://jugule.itch.io/dababy-simulator
i've checked the quality guidelines and i'm sure there's no problem with my project, it is basically just a simple dvd video player project, nothing more nothing less. i don't see why it has to be unindexed as spam when looking at the other low quality and unrelated results that show up when you type in dvd video player.
my project dvd video player https://jugule.itch.io/dvd-video-player cannot be found when searching dvd video player on the search bar after more than a week of uploading. i also already made sure to not check the Unlisted in search & browse checkbox. can a mod check this issue?
thx a lot.
i don't , i left the tags blank on the Metadata > Engines & tools page. I didn't even put "PixiJS" on all the settings on my game. it was generated automatically as i released the game. maybe it read the contents of my game and used several signals to check which engine i was using to automatically add PixiJS.
my submission office rush got removed, i read the rules and i don't seem to break any of them so why would i get removed from the jam? when obviously there was another game that clearly breaks the rules like https://itch.io/jam/scorejam19/rate/1522264 which did not got removed instead.
i see that many of the songs that are produced in the music community tends to be more open to the idea of sampling. where you get to take a portion of the sound from another artist's song and use it on your own without the need to fear about copyrights and backlash from the community. you can see lots of such examples on song remixes, even on popular songs and they seem to thrive especially not just on the underground scene but on more popular platforms as well such as tiktok sound remixes / sampling & other forms of memes.
you can see some of the more popular mainstream songs that also uses sampling from other songs such as
Future - Mask Off which has sampled songs from a 70s soul music called Prison Song
DJ Khaled - Wild Thoughts which sampled from Santana - Maria Maria
and much more which there is too much to mention.
of course, this should not be compared to pure plagiarism. which is the act of purely copying a song without any modifications. this article might explain better what The difference between plagiarism and sampling is.
now back on topic, when i started delving into the indie game community, it felt overwhelming that the guidelines of copyright infringements are very strict, to the point where someone using an open source art could get some backlash for simply not crediting all of the assets used on their game. which i'm not saying that to not credit someone is a good thing either. but it felt very compelling to see lots of hate towards the freedom of modification of assets on your game in a free and open way just like how songs are created, without getting copyrighted to oblivion or called out by the masses for simply using an asset / song that was used on a previous game. i mean, you are simply creating a free game without any profits for the fun of making games and it hurts nobody, just like how you simply create remixes of your favorite artists as a tribute to his artistry. what difference does it make to create your own mario version as a tribute to your favorite video game without getting yourself copyrighted, content removed for having a mario asset on your game for copyright infringement towards the original mario.
i know that this topic is more controversial on the indie community where people seem to be more divided on this issue, but i'm wiling to hear why it seems to be extremely hateful to the idea of a more open community like how the music community does with its sampling.
