DELETED

Thanks I will look into adding that soon. Nice idea.

There was a small issue related to searching for games that had more then 2 words (ie control ultimate edition). This has been fixed. You will likely need to clear cache.

Can't open the site due to invalid certificate, issued for *.sucuri.net

Hmmm I'm not sure on that one. It has a valid certificate. It is self-signed through godaddy. I just enabled a security monitoring, and this appears to be related to that based on the sucuri.net... it should hopefully work itself out soon. If anyone else is experiencing this, please let me know.

Working on it. It's related to the security monitoring. Should be resolved soon.

Certificate issue should be resolved.

New Features:
- Added PC Gaming Wiki link of product pages.
- Added stats view on home page
- Added ability to search by publisher or developer and added links on product page

You will likely need to clear cache to see these changes.

Looks nice, and possibly useful in the long run.

A couple of things that I noticed:

- Games that have been removed from the store seem to be missing. This would be one of the more useful things, because games that are in the store can, in most cases, be seen on GOG site as well.

- "Using Dosbox" is an informative thing, it would be nice to have "Using ScummVM" as well for those games that have that.

- Listing of game goodies would be a nice extra feature.

- I don't know where the age limit comes from. For instance, Blade Runner age limit is shown as 13, but I don't see that shown on the game card, and even if the age limit is correct, it might be a good idea to put in parentheses which rating system it is from, (ESRB), (PEGI), and so on, maybe even show the official age limit labels graphically. It would be more informative that way for people, who actually need that information, when buying games to kids and so on.

- The DLC entries could have a link or something to the base game that is needed to play and purchase the DLC.


Hope these observations help a bit.

Please add info block on home page "New builds" / "New versions Installers"
Thanks

Good initiative, the more the merrier!

Regarding issues, after trying some games I noticed that, if a game doesn't have any videos on its GOG page, the "Videos" tab on GOGdata.io shows the videos from another game (for example, Alpha Centauri displays the videos from Diablo).

Looking into this now. Thanks for the report. I think some old code I wrote wasn't properly dealing with this and it got put into the database. Refreshing database on my local pc to confirm. I don't think the API includes games that were removed, but if there is some way to include this I will. Again, this one of those... does the API include this. I'll take a look. I know dosbox is, but not sure about ScummVM. I believe this is in the API and I will defiantly include this at some point. This comes directly from the API, but I don't know how GOG comes up with those ages. It might be better to display the ESRB rating/ PEGI rating as well which an older version of my code did have. I don't know if the API links to the original game but if it does, I will include that.

This will come at some point, but it's a little bit farther off right now. Things will slowly be added with time.

Had to re-upload the database... so clear cache if you notice any strange issues. The issue with videos showing under the wrong game should now be fixed.

I have no idea how their API works, but perhaps the information can be found some place else.

At least some third party sites have information about those, so perhaps that's one option?


I don't know about API, but at least (some) game cards have that information about that.

For instance, The Curse of Monkey Island and Blade Runner (not enhanced) have the text "This game is powered by ScummVM." where other games using Dosbox have the same sentence about Dosbox.

Obviously it could be somehow manually typed in the description, and not accessible through any queries, but at least to the customer that information is supposed to be there.
