Adding A Dont Show Homebrew Games Toggle To The Repo!!

[Deleted member 231262]

what the title says, just like the one to not show 18+ eroges in the repo i suggest one for homebrews, because honestly i don't like them i would preefer to not see them, im sure im not the only one here.--- : )

Sounds very sensible, and I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't a thing yet.

I usually take a look at each homebrew to see if it looks interesting. I've found some really original and well-crafted ones, but also some I didn't like as much, things like "horror" or similar. So, I second this motion.

I'd be down with it

I do like homebrew, but the filter is a very sensible suggestion. We can probably brainstorm other useful filters down the line, too.

Yes, I also thought this could open the door to a more filtered and personalized Repo for each user. But, I couldn't think of any other

Isn't the no hacks option the same thing?

It is a senseful suggestion; we just didn't have a chance to discuss it.

not for me, im fine with cool hacks and restore patchs, but thing like all those gbc homebrews i think they are cringe and i would prefer to not see them cloging the Repo.

thanks, and sorry for pinging everybody.

I think it could be a filter option, like the "no hacks" filter we have, but I wouldn't add it like the "Hide Adult Content" button. Homebrews are as much as valid as any other "old" game. These platforms keep receiving games to this day and it is important we don't ignore that. :D

The decision is up to spike, though. Homebrews "seem to be" a lot lately but just because I was uploading the ones I've played and knew about (mostly GBC ones), but I don't have that much anymore and if you compare it to the amount of "non homebrew" game we published, you'll see they are not that much. I'd say to just let it be.

 

[RageBurner]

I disagree, partially. All filters should be equally easily accessible. It's not about valuation of content, it's about end user ease of use.

i like this idea, i would suggest one for indie "games" too.
