1.0.0
🎉 Initial Release of Obsidian Game Search
Welcome to the first official release of Obsidian Game Search! This plugin allows you to quickly fetch rich video game metadata from the IGDB API and automatically generate beautifully formatted notes in your vault using your own custom templates.
✨ Features
- Single Game Import: Quickly search for any game using the Command Palette or the new Ribbon Icon to instantly generate a note.
- Bulk Import: A dedicated staging UI that lets you search and queue up multiple games to import them all at once.
- Custom Templates: Total control over the look and feel of your notes. Use custom
{{variable}}tags in your markdown template to automatically slot in the data you care about. - Rich IGDB Metadata: We currently support fetching and mapping:
{{title}},{{summary}},{{storyline}}{{release_date}}{{developer}},{{publisher}}{{genres}},{{themes}},{{game_modes}},{{franchise}}{{platforms}}{{rating}}(User),{{aggregated_rating}}(Critic){{cover_image}},{{screenshots}}{{similar_games}},{{url}}
- Smart Conflict Resolution: If you attempt to import a game that shares a file name with an existing note, the plugin will pause and allow you to manually rename the incoming file so you never accidentally overwrite your data.
- Secure Settings: Client ID and Secret credentials are obfuscated in the settings menu for your privacy.
