itch.io · the developer’s own taxonomy

Tags

Every tag we have seen on itch.io, and a page for each. A tag gets a Velocity once the scoring pass can read an acceleration for at least one game carrying it; until then the tag still has a page, listing the games in the catalogue that carry it.

nothing scored yet

No tag has a reading yet. A trend's Velocity is an acceleration, so it needs the same fortnight of daily history a game's does. Every tag in the itch.io catalogue still has a page of its own in the meantime, listing the games that carry it.

Tags are itch.io's own taxonomy, written by the developer who published the game. A tag trend is the acceleration of every game we scored carrying that tag.

47 tags

47 tags the catalogue holds and the scoring pass has not read yet. The count beside each is every itch.io game carrying it — a different question from the scored member count above, and usually a much larger number.
