  1. Some types of adult games are restricted as per the contribution guidelines. As a video game database I think all games should be allowed. Even if it's only allowed in title and description without any picture or links to the game itself.

  2. Add Archipelago Randomizer as a Catergory on Twitch
    Information about Archipelago > https://archipelago.gg/

    Tldr:
    This is a cross-game modification system which randomizes different games, then uses the result to build a single unified multi-player game. Items from one game may be present in another, and you will need your fellow players to find items you need in their games to help you complete your own.
    Many people stream it at the moment, Solo and In groups- it would be easier to have one category instead of people hopping from game to game category to fit twitch TOS

  4. One of the things that really confuses me about IGDB is that I often have interactions with IGDB admins that make me wonder if they know Twitch isn't paying me to work for IGDB.

    IGDB admins have repeatedly been very snappy with me when I make several contributions to the database, and have gone out of their way to make it obvious how annoyed they are with me. So let me spell it out louder for the people in the back,

    You are the ones who are being paid. I'm taking my free time to submit information to make this…

  6. It would be extremely helpful for people with large numbers of followed channels to select particular categories in the left-hand channel sidebar. For example, if I want to only see channels playing Grand Theft Auto V, I could sort by category and open a drop down list.

  7. The games under id 278599, 228456 and 6341 are only one game.
    It shouldn't have three page.

  8. There are two suggestions over here, the first one is fixing the Crypto Category, it only has got the coins logos, but the description is completely wrong, which should be fixed.

    Second thing is that it would be good if Twitch use Crypto as payment methods, less fees, available in more countries. I believe that the platform will generate larger income.

  10. It would be nice if the endpoint multiplayer modes provides a boolean "isGameOnline" and "isGameOffline" (or something like that), showing if the game is entirely offline, entirely online or the both. For example, Dark Souls can be played online or offline, so the parameters will be set to "true". Cuphead, for example, would have the first parameter set to “false” and the second as "true" because the game does not offer a way to play online. I'm sure this simple parameter can be extremely useful!

  11. I've noticed several games (it seems largely this happens with games that used to be one single entry but got split into a main game and ports) where the main game entry reports several platforms via the API that it no longer has in the web interface. If you go into try to change it, it seems to believe that only the single main platform is actually listed, but the API reports all of the platforms that had previously been associated with the game. A really good example is pulling the info for this game via the API:

  12. When trying to pull this game via the API, several items are blank including the game's name:
    https://www.igdb.com/games/dragon-knight-4

    IGDB's API response:

    {
    "msg": "success",
    "roms": [
    {
    "igdbid": 45959,
    "slug": "",
    "name": "",
    "summary": "",
    "url
    cover": "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_cover_big/co4o3m.jpg",
    "urlscreenshots": [
    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t

    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/sc8wdu.jpg",

    "https://images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_original/scgoix.jpg"
    ]
    }
    ]
    }

    Unfortunately, I've noticed this isn't the only game that does this- but is definitely an example of it.

  13. While Demos are not permitted as entries, a "Demo Available" Data Point would be something that could help guide traffic to titles they can try before they buy.

  14. While you can enter something into entries in Keywords, and the Guidelines require a title to have completed the funded stage of any crowdfunding effort, it would be nice to include a Data Points on a title being started in a crowdfunded effort such as a checkbox of a title was funded this way. Or, a Release/Status date that you could denote the date in which it was funded.

    It would also be helpful to link the original funding pages like Kickstarter, Indigogo, and others.

  15. I'm not sure if this is the right category to report website bugs such as this one, but I recently noticed the "default" sorting orders of my custom lists aren't showcased properly on the downloadable CSV, but the public page will be sorted ok and correctly numbered.

    Thanks in advance!

  16. The popular category 'Games + Demo's' currently has missing cover art.

    I reached out to the IGDB team and they said "As these specific categories are directly handled by Twitch and generally handled internally, it would best be submitted to their UserVoice" with that being said, I would like to submit a piece of Cover Art for approval for the category.

    As I can't attach a photo, here are my two submissions (I prefer option 2):

    1) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GBw7CcibkAA7a85?format=jpg&name=small (Alternative link: https://imgur.com/Fl9OeNW)

  17. As I make changes to entries on existing titles in the database, the Karma Hunters Contributions listing focuses on entries that are Missing Covers or box art entirely. This omits entries that have been uploaded from Steam that display in 600x900 and do not adhere to the 3:4 ratio that would display in the Twitch category. It would be great to see a global breakdown of those that are in error so they can be addressed by the community.

  18. I find it a bit disappointing that IGDB does not allow users to change their username, display name, and profile picture unlike over on Twitch. While such features might not seem important for a database site, adding such would benefit users who may not be comfortable continuing to use an identity they no longer go by. Providing such features, even in the form of just resyncing a user's Twitch account with their updated information, would also allow users to keep their karma score instead of having to start from scratch by making a whole separate account just to use a…

  19. There are multiple regional languages that aren't available as options when adding new localizations for a game.

    I'm Spanish, and in our country alone we have several smaller regional languages, some of which are in danger of becoming extinct - and none of them have any presence in IGDB yet.

    There are several initiatives that push for those languages to be brought into the modern era and, as such, many people are doing an enormous amount of work in order to localize as many games as possible to our languages, officially or otherwise.

    It would help us out a lot…
