    I don't get these vg level subcategories. Aren't Chapter and Mission the same thing? Where's the difference for you, @Papissama?

      Editing … A mission can span several chapters. And vice versa.

      Editing … E.g. #Kentucky Route Zero is divided into several chapters/"acts" that were released over the course of several months, each of those chapters consists of different levels/episodes/"missions".

      Editing … I see a few problems. There's no clear definition given on FL on what makes a mission and what a chapter. Everyone's gonna use their own definition. Also, every good story has three or five acts. That's just how story-telling goes. But do we really want to add them to the DB, let alone rank them and create lists for them? And what about "In medias res" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_medias_res Not all stories have very separable acts. Some first acts are even ridiculously small.

      Editing … When we talk about chapters and missions, most of the time we - as gamers - usually think about levels and settings. So let's just use those terms from now on. They are clearly defined and create less confusion.

      Editing … I just realized that that whole "level type" combobox is primarily there for display reasons. I had just been surprised that mission and chapter weren't being merged into "Mission/Chapter" because they're conceptually so similar. Like "Singer/Rapper". But no, whatever the combobox says will be shown in the listing: Mission 1, Mission 2, etc. — That being the case, what do you think about adding #"Dungeon", Papi ?
