Hello! I'm part of Ottawa Games, a group helping promote the Ottawa game dev community. To speak of the suggestion: We want to be able to create a collection of developers, rather than a collection of games.
We've been working to create lists of developers in the city on our website. We created a Steam curator list of the games on Steam, and we also wanted to create a collection on Itch. However, we ran into a bit of scalability problem. There are very few games from the community on Steam, whereas there are hundreds if not over a thousand games on Itch. This is probably due to a number of reasons such a barrier to entry, and the fact that our community is primarily made up of Independents/Hobbyists, but in any case - It's a lot of items!
To speak not of the effort to add all of the preexisting items, it would become very time consuming for us to manage each and every one of them. We thought that being able to declare a collection of developers would solve this problem instead. Alternatively, perhaps someway to add/remove a developer and then all of their games would be automatically added/removed?
Please let us know your thoughts.
