Making the original Shiren category available on Twitch The remake of work, Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (IGDB ID: 78341, NDS Shiren) appears on Twitch, but the original, Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Furai no Shiren (IGDB ID: 103496, original Shiren), is registered with IGDB but does not appear on Twitch. NDS Shiren is not just a port, it's a completely new remake, and there's no way original Shiren can be broadcast under the NDS Shiren category.
Twitch shows other remakes, but why doesn't it show Shiren? The reason may be that it's considered an alternative to other games, as shown on the following page.

Games in database marked visually as completed, played, or voted Can you please add a posibillity to see in the database somehow visually games that you marked as "completed, voted, or played''
Its gonna help to look trough games that you haven't tried yet.
So - i go to the database, see all the games, but the games i completed i can se marked as 'completed' or somehow else - different color, or badged.
i think a lot of people would appreciate it!
6 votesHey there! Good suggestion thank you!
that sounds like it would be a good fit for a List feature improvement indeed.
Keeping that one in mind! Thanks! -
Adding credits without youtube link I was trying to add credits for a game I developed myself, but we have no youtube video showing the credits. I think there should be another method of verification for entered credits e.g. websites or some kind of verification of the credibility of the editor.
6 votesHeya!
Our end credits is one of the oldest feature we have on the site and indeed could use some additional improvements.
Unfortunately this isn’t currently planned to revisit it in the short term.We do however intend to explore ways to differentiate game developers from regular users which could also help such use cases.
Thanks!

Directly use in Twitch the accepted Game Covers from IGDB. Hi,
when I check my own channel on Twitch, I like to see the colouredful section name something like "Recently broadcast categories" (in Italian "Categorie trasmesse di recente), with all Game Covers from recently streamed games/categories.Anyway, seeing I bring lot of indie (expecially less less known ones) I often find they have no Game Cover at all related to their category. And they show and ugly grey empty cover box.
But most of them actually can show a Game Cover on IGDB... or if they don't, well I often upload a cover by myself, if I can.
The fact…
6 votesHey!
Thanks for reaching out. This has been an ongoing request, and an obvious fit for IGDB and Twitch.A separate team within Twitch has this planned. We (IGDB) do have covers as a high data priority and are indeed ready to power Twitch with those covers :)
Stay tuned for future Twitch announcements :)

Keyword Repurposing/Splitting Currently keywords are just a dumping ground for any word or phrase that is somewhat related to a game.
Perhaps what is needed is a re-definition or splitting up of keywords into:
Game mechanics (keywords)
Atmospheric/visual (keywords)
Player character (keywords)
Other/Minor (keywords)Let's take the "rain" keyword for example. Currently there are 310 games with this keyword assigned. These games feature rain to various degrees for various purposes:
Gameplay: Rain (Game) - a core mechanic where your character is invisible unless they stand in the rain.
Atmospheric: Deadly Premonition - it rains for most of the game, and the raincoat…6 votes -
3D covers 3D view of game covers, being able to view the front, sides and back sides.
Could be nice when having many regions and scanned images of all sides of a box art.6 votesHey! For now we’re focusing on a single cover standard. Which we’ll then expand to other regions to be able to cover more types of users for this standard.
Once we have good coverage of those we may start looking at additional aspects such as sides, back of cover etc..
Thanks!

"This title also appears in X Bundle" listing Currently, only actual Bundle pages appear to display titles included. It would be helpful if those individual titles also displayed the collections and bundles they are included in.

Game Wave as a Platform (Games are already there) IGDB actually already contains nearly every game for the Game Wave console, but the console itself is not listed as a platform (the games are listed without a platform). Adding the Game Wave as a platform would really lend to completeness for those games.
(Of note, another console with this issue is the Bandai RX-78. The games are there, but the platform is not.)

A GameJolt field in the “Websites” section of a game I’m not sure if this is the right category, it’s my first time posting here. Basically I believe there could be a field to add a game’s GameJolt page in the “Websites” section when you’re adding/editing information of a game. There’s an itch.io one, a Steam one, an Epic Games one, etc. There are so many games that are on GameJolt, even many famous ones, so I’ve always wanted IGDB to have a GameJolt field. it sucks having to use the “Official website” instead when thats not what it is, and when the game already has another page that would…

Allow all NFSW / Adult games as long as nothing too suggestive is shown 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.

Stop treating volunteers as though they're an annoyance when they submit content 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…

Age Ratings Covers Not Being Produced When using the "games" endpoint w/ the python igdb-api-v4 wrapper, the query used to get the age ratings covers (ESRB, PEGI, etc) should be "ageratings.ratingcover_url" but it never succeeds in providing the cover url, but it also never returns an error saying the information isn't available or that the query was structured wrong.
Here's my full example I'm using (so far) that doesn't produce a result:
# This is in python3 wrapper.api_request( "games", 'search "' + game_name + """\"; f id, name, first_release_date, age_ratings.rating_cover_url, cover.url, platforms.name; limit 20; where first_release_date != null; """All the other "data.thing"s work…

Option to show list descriptions publicly I'd like to make a list of some games, and describe why I added them to the list, and share that information with friends. Right now, I can add descriptions and share the list, but for some reason it hides the descriptions when someone else views the page.

Toontown Rewritten Please close the Toontown Online Category and bring back the Toontown Rewritten Category. Toontown Online should be the one to get removed as that game closed September 19, 2013. Toontown Rewritten is still going strong and had people switching over from the old one.

Allow fetching of game rating breakdown Allow fetching detail rating breakdowns; ie the data that drives the below image on the website;
https://www.igdb.com/games/horizon-zero-dawn-complete-edition/rating_breakdown.svg
The level of detail presented in the chart is sufficient, ie, number of ratings at each level of ratings, example output below;
{
"ratings": [
{
"ratingname": "Superb",
"ratingcount": 10,
"ratingvalue": 10
},
{
"ratingname": "Great",
"ratingcount": 100,
"ratingvalue": 9
},
{
"ratingname": "Good",
"ratingcount": 1000,
"ratingvalue": 8
},
{
"ratingname": "etc",
"ratingcount": 120,
"ratingvalue": 7
}
]
}Other note: underscores for italic formatting is annoying. :)

Add ELSPA to Game Ratings ELSPA was the rating system used in EU before the PEGI system replaced it.
Degrees of ratings can be found here:
https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Parents/Age-Rating/The-ratings-system-for-older-games/ELSPA-rating/ELSPA-rating-854931.html5 votesHey! We have decided that it would be very interesting to have the ELSPA ratings on IGDB and we would like to add it in the near future. We we probably bundle a couple of new age ratings together and add it sometime next year.
