When I released my game, I called it Blocks. At the time I sideloaded it to my device using the sideload page in my account.
I later found out there there already was a game called Blocks available on itch (by charlito33 here). I renamed my game to BlocksInTheBox, to avoid confusion.
However, even after renaming my game, when I try to sideload either game (mine or the game from charlito33), our games overwrite each other.
To reproduce this I first deleted all versions of the game called 'Blocks'. This is what my sideload page looks like after doing that:
I then installed the latest version of my game called BlocksInTheBox. This is what my sideload page looked like after I did that:
And these are the installation details of BlocksInTheBox:
I then installed the game Blocks Free from charlito33. This is what my sideload page looked like after I did that:
As you can see my version of the game is overwritten by the game from Charlito33. This is what the installation details for Blocks Free look like at this point:
As you can see, the sideload page assumes both games are the same and Charlito33's game is added as a newer version.
I then re-added my own game again. This is what the sideload page looked like after that:
Charlito33's version is again overwritten by my game. The installation details now look like this:
Is there anything I can do to solve this? I know there is at least one user who is having the same issue as you can see in the comments by poodledude here.
The pdxinfo of my game:
name=BlocksInTheBox
author=Lucas Willering
description=A basic puzzle game. Put the blocks in the box and clear lines as long as you can.
bundleID=com.chchchanges.blocks
version=0.93
buildNumber=112
imagePath=SystemAssets
pdxversion=11200
buildtime=716842590
If you would like I can post the pdxinfo of Charlito33's game as well, but since it is not my game, I am not sure if that is an ok thing to do? I can say that our bundleID's are different.
