...Please wait. A few days isn't unusual. If it takes much longer, you can try posting your ticket number here as clearly explained in the rules of this category.

It's been about 1 month, not few days...This is the reason I created this post!
I'll try to be patient for some more days...In the maintime, thanks.

...You just made some changes to Memories of a Cat. It might have been placed back in the review queue.

Hey! I continue to not understand, 50 days have spent...There's something wrong.

I'm not sure, but it looks like itch.io staff might have seen the game and decided not to index it.

Ah...And I can't know the reason of this choice?

(1 edit)

It doesn't say anywhere that I have access to, and there's no way to ask. I could be completely wrong about this.

Let me clarify that I don't work for the staff, so what I'm about to say is just a guess.

I see on your page that you submitted your game to several game jams. It's a bit unusual for the same game to meet the requirements of 5 different jams at the same time.

Could it be that you submitted your game to a jam without fully complying with its rules? I'm asking because if that's the case, it's possible that one of those jams reported you as spam, and that's why your game isn't being indexed.

Hi, no it's impossible because I submitted these jams few days ago.

Anyway, I submitted both of my games to jams correctly with no spam where requirements allowed it.

So, I continue to not understand first game is public and this second not.

Ad the mod said, this is specualation. Itch will generall not talk about any such reasonings in most cases.

But a quite likely explanation is, they are swamped down with other things. Things more urgent than indexing a game. Your game being not indexed does not prevent you from promoting the game. But people desperatly waiting for a payout sometimes need the money to pay rent.

Personally, I avoid games that submitted to several game jams. But that's just my opinion and I have doubts that it would affect any decision about indexing, if one was made. And I doubt that one was made. Anyway, the game page does not look like shovelware that might fail to be eglible for indexing, and there are rare cases of people that have waited for indexing longer than your account is old. If they are swamped, they are swamped.

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts!

I agree with you, I think the same thing.

About the jams, you're the second person who tell me this, but I swear my game fits perfectly with all five jams because they are very “relaxed” in terms of duration and requirements.

My game was created independently of the jams.

Perhaps I could consider removing it from one or two, I trust you.

Thank you again. :)
