We don’t make any guarantee that a major update will provide a boost to your game. I encourage you to operate your game as normal without the assumption that itchio will automatically give your traffic. Once your page establishes reputation in our system then it’s more likely that your update posts can contribute to a boost in our algorithm.
Your game page is otherwise indexed.
Thanks
I’m not telling you have to be famous. I’m just trying to give you a realistic understanding of how things are. Showing up in the new and recently updated page for a brief moment isn’t going to make you successful. You’re going to have to do a lot of work on your end, and don’t expect itch.io to magically make your game take off, especially if you’re essentially a relatively new account. You have to build a community like every other creator.
And I totally understand but when I spoke about it with other game creators(especially NSFW), their statistics were clearly showing that being in the recently update is a must have. I’m working my ass off on my end, but idk how itchio is helping me to build a community if players have to dig for 5 minutes to find my game.
Plus, I do not expect itchio to make me famous, not at all. I’m saying that every other website where my game appears is helping me and giving visibility to the game by making it appear in recently update or new game at least. I dont understand why itchio doesn’t and just leave me at the bottom of the search.
