hi, i have uploaded too many games (149) to itch.io and the interface for navigating them is literally causing me to stop wanting to upload games to itch.io...
i may be an outlier, and it would be very understandable to not prioritize my use case, but i thought this might be useful for yall to see. i wish i could search my own games, sort them by date, tag them and search through them that way, but the dashboard simply presents them all in a huge unyielding list. it sucks for me
im also open to suggestions for how i could organize things better on my end, it's partially my fault for not thinking about this ahead of time?? i guess??? organizing and navigating a ton of stuff is just a hard problem that not too many people have solved.
wish i could drag my games around in a 2D space like kinopio my beloved 😌😌
Hi,
There actually is a way to sort games.
First, you create Collections. Then, you add your game(s) to the collections.
Once you've got your organized Collections done, you then navigate to your Creator Page, click Edit Theme, remove your list of games from the Theme menu, then select to display the specific Collections, which will then show your games in a more organized way.
I did this for my Creator page. It takes a little work, but it can be worth it (in my opinion).
Edit: This is for making the games visible to the public. If you mean internally, like when you edit your projects... I'm not sure what to do there.
yes, i mean internally, unfortunately. some of the games in my list are prototypes that i uploaded to show to someone and i am trying to browse them in order to unearth them from the past! itch definitely provides a better solution than storing all these prototypes on my local machine, because then i lose them completely, but... it's not great.
