I gave it a bump. Sorry for the long delay.

Thank you very much, really appreciated!

The game is now searchable (yay), and appears in the storefront... except, it's not where I was expecting it to be.

If you search for Most Recent, 15$ or less, it has been placed at the very bottom of the list, among those titles that ACTUALLY got published around the time we made our game public (in theory, of course, since it needed approval and, therefore, wasn't in the storefront).

By comparison, using the same ordering (Most Recent, $15 or less), This title, which got published 10 days ago, but like ours needed approval (allegedly) is showing  right at the top, where it should be. Another title, 6 days since going public, yet showing pretty high in the list. One last example, 14 days, displayed among the most recent ones.

To summarize, all these examples are getting listed by their time of approval (since they needed it), not publication, while my title is getting listed by its actual publication date.

Would it be possible to get this last issue fixed, pretty please? Thank you 🙂

First of all I almost missed your post because you didn't reply to me directly. Second, that sounds unlikely. New projects are listed by the date when they were made public, not when they were approved for the index. If that's not the case, maybe there's a bug.

My mistake for not replying to you directly, but would kindly explain this to me then?


I just picked 2 random ones, but it's full of published titles, even months old, that gets featured in the most recent because they just got approved (The last updated field clearly reflects the changes needed behind the scenes done by the staff to enable indexing and visibility in the storefront)

Which, btw, totally makes sense to me. If this is a bug, it's so wide-spread it basicaly turned itself into a feature.

You'll have to ask support about that, but that "updated" could easily mean "has just posted a major release devlog".

As I said, if you check any of those titles, they are ordered by the publication date UNLESS it's a new seller, in which case you can check the Last Update field for an hint on when the staff reviewed the page and gave approval. Infact, they are all done in batches, all showing the same values.

I'll try contacting costumer support, then.
