I talked once about thinking that it would be a good idea to have a database for my games collection, but my skills are so rusty it would really take a while until I'd be able to do a good job.
Somebody even sent me a file for LibreOffice, though that didn't work for me (thanks, though!).
Now I found a template on this page.
It looks pretty good, but I wanted to add some more stuff and as I said, it really takes a while to get into it again. So if somebody has 5 minutes, maybe they can edit in the changes I wanted to have :)
Under "Game Details" (when adding a new game) you have all sorts of categories (game name, system, publisher, system etc.). I'd really like to have an extra priority category (like the Wishlist has, but maybe going from "very high" to "very low"; this could be changed for the wishlist too) and a category where you can pick where you got the games from (so GOG, Steam etc.), with multiple choices being possible, of course (I tinkered around myself, but I'm certainly doing things wrong since I get an error when I import the changes I made :/).
And the system category should also allow for multiple choices.
I like that the database shows you the percentage of completed games (if that really works, haven't really checked it yet), would be even nicer to have a "played" category, which shows that you have at least tried the game, if not completed it. (<- don't know how complicated that would be to implement...)
Otherwise, feel free to make suggestions or to add in what you think would be nice. I think many people would be glad to have something like this, especially if they want to have an off-line database (I know about the online ones, but I really want to have one for myself :P).
Dunno bout copyrights or anything, so just upload it to some online platform or send it to me (and anyone else who'd like it) per PM or something.
Hopefully someone has the time to do this, it would be much appreciated =) (as for database tutorials, I found one, but I'd be losing too much time in addition to typing in my games list into the new database, too :D)
