Can I get in Fresh Games when releasing the full game after demo?

Hello there,

I had a free demo out here on Itch for a while. I now released the full, complete version as a paid game. Is there a way to reset the release date somehow so that my game appears on the homepage in the Fresh Games list?

Thanks,

Andras

Yes, post a devlog categorized as a major update.

I already have posted a major update yesterday, still no luck https://andrascsibi.itch.io/terraformingearth/devlog/113846/christmas-access-only-on-itchio

The “Fresh games” section on the homepage is different than recently updated games. Fresh games on the homepage is based on curation so no one automatically shows up there, and there is no specific criteria about updates or when something comes out for it to show up there. It’s more of like a mini-featured games section that cycles through many more games than the proper featured games section above.

As for posting a devlog with a major update, that will mark your game as recently updated and will help it show browse pages that take into account how new something is.

Hope that helps
