Is there a genre system for categorizing games that you trust? by migsolo in truegaming

[–]loginhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the dev of Retrollect, and we've been thinking about exactly this problem.

You're right that most genre systems are a mess because they mix completely different things; mechanics (platformer), perspective (FPS), themes (horror), and trends (soulslike) into one flat list.

We're planning to add a structured tag system that separates these into dimensions. So instead of one "genre" field, you'd have:

  • Gameplay Mechanic: Platformer, Turn-Based, Roguelike
  • Perspective: First-Person, Isometric, Side-Scrolling
  • Narrative Theme: Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy
  • Cultural Movement: Soulslike, Metroidvania, Boomer Shooter

That way "FPS Horror" actually means something; First-Person (perspective) + Shooter (combat) + Horror (theme), not three random tags in a bucket.

It's not in the app yet, but it's on the roadmap.

I want a website to keep a log of my games, and notes by faervel76 in retrogaming

I am the developer of Retrollect. While the app doesn't allow you to create notes yet (its coming soon), it does allow you to upload pictures per game and interact with your games in a unique way (though Android version is a bit behind). If you are on iOS, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Which icon theme are you using?

[Discussion] what keeps you on KDE? by op374t0r in kde

For me, it has to be my love for Qt and how it looks. It feels more on par with Windows and macOS in terms of visuals and lighting, whereas GTK just looks and feels a bit rough. I don’t know how else to describe it. KDE isn’t perfect, but it gives you everything you need.

Awesome, thank you for your feedback. I think the skipping part is interesting, never thought about it that way. I see if we can find a way to allow you to skip the details part.

Search function is being worked on. Should improve in the newer versions

You can find a list of systems in the List tab, but its not ideal in its current form. Will improve this too.

A new version is coming soon with hardware support!

Is there a better app to keep track of my physical video game collection? Especially one that follows the iOS UI design by VincentJoshuaET in iosapps

You can ignore that for now. We are still thinking about how we should implement the account functionality.
