Hi, thank you for your replies both in the posts and here for the clarification. I want to respond here regarding your last answer on the post and your recommendations about itch. When I wrote that post, I was in despair. It was my first time dealing with this. Honestly, I’m still scared that I won’t be able to popularize the game on itch in any way. So, to not waste time, I’m promoting it on TikTok. I’m planning to keep a development log on itch, just like you said. Thank you for explaining everything briefly here and in detail in the post.

Actually, I think this system isn’t very good, because it still doesn’t protect against low-quality pages on itch. I would automate the process, for example: if there is a background, a non-default color, many screenshots, and a trailer — then it should add points. The more points, the higher the page appears in the list. This way, authors who truly want to promote their game on itch would be indexed immediately or within a day.

And about the FAQ — it’s very poor documentation. It doesn’t explain anything at all. It’s like going to a psychologist who says, “everything is fine, it’s not your fault,” but never explains why it’s “fine.” They should at least write the average review time for a page, what it’s for, and so on.

I also have some suspicions about Butler. I think that if you publish a game using the regular upload button (not through Butler), then the page gets indexed immediately, or at least faster than a game published through Butler.

Anyway, thanks for the reply. I would be glad if you continue following my games — at least just subscribe to my itch.

If the translation is not accurate again, I sincerely apologize.
