It would be nice to create an archive with as many games (and maybe versions) as possible
I think it would be good because sometimes games disappear from the internet.
as I see it: a set of special files, in which for each game the methods of (automated) obtaining the game files with their hash sums are indicated. and also to have in some place the whole set of game files (for example, to upload to a torrent)
for example, the game can be published on itch, then we indicate the author + title + internal release identifier (can be obtained from the source code of the page)
maybe to save space make an automatic repack of games that are made with RenPy/RPGMaker/etc
(we don’t really need to have a copy of nwjs with each game)
a small python script to get game file id from itch: itch.zip (1.2 KB)
Example of usage:
python itch.py "https://cadek-crew.itch.io/by-the-lights-grace"
{"url": "https://cadek-crew.itch.io/by-the-lights-grace", "title": "By the Light's Grace", "uploads": [{"filename": "By the Light's Grace (Jam Version).rar", "filesize": "195 MB", "upload_id": 11344224, "platforms": ["win"]}, {"filename": "By the Light's Grace (1.02).rar", "filesize": "154 MB", "upload_id": 11355054, "platforms": []}]}
