Thank you again for the clarification.

After changing the public project page to the “No Payments” option, I can now confirm that the project appears in search again.

It looks like the donation / payment setting was the cause after the page was marked as sensitive content.

I’m sorry for the confusion, and I really appreciate the help.

Thank you very much for the clarification.

I checked the project settings, and it looks like the donation / payment setting was still left at the default state.

I have now changed the public project page to use the “No Payments” option.

That may explain why the page disappeared from search after it was marked as sensitive content.

Also, thank you for explaining the creator-name search behavior. I mentioned it as an additional symptom because the search box says it can search for creators, but if creator-name search only shows indexed projects by that creator, then it makes sense that nothing would appear while the project itself is not indexed.

I appreciate the help.

Thank you very much. I appreciate you passing it along to the admins.

Hello,

I previously posted about this project not appearing in search and browse, and the issue seemed to be resolved afterward.

Previous related thread: https://itch.io/t/6196926/public-project-not-appearing-in-search-after-60-days-and-devlogs-not-showing-on-most-recent

However, I am posting again because the issue seems to have returned.

My project page has now been marked as containing sensitive content by a moderator. I am not asking to remove the sensitive content mark. BattleMaidens is moving into NSFW content, and I understand that the public version should be treated as sensitive / adult content going forward.

I am not sure whether the sensitive content mark and the search visibility issue are directly connected, but I noticed the issue after the project was marked as sensitive content.

The issue is that the public project page appears to be missing from search again.

Project URL: https://hotcatnip.itch.io/battlemaidens

What I have checked:

• The project page is public.
• “Unlisted in search & browse” is not enabled.
• The page has been marked as sensitive content.
• Adult content is enabled in my browsing/search settings.
• I searched while logged in, with adult content visible.
• The project does not appear when searching for its exact title.
• I also noticed that searching for my creator / account name, “HotCatnip,” does not bring up the project either.

I understand that creator-name search may not be the official way to verify project indexing, but since other creators seem to be searchable this way, I wanted to mention it as an additional symptom.

Full title: BattleMaidens: Break Duel

This appears to be the second time this project has disappeared from search visibility. Over the past two weeks, the project has only received around 24–50 page views per day, so I am having trouble understanding whether this is an automatic review, a moderation state, or an indexing issue.

I have already contacted support as well.

Could someone please check whether this project is currently indexed, deindexed, or waiting for review?

If there is anything I need to change in the project settings, content rating, tags, or page text to make it follow the current rules properly, I would be happy to adjust it.

Thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate it.
I understand, and I’ll wait for a response from support/admins.

Hello,

I have already read the getting indexed documentation, and I am posting because my case still seems unusual.

My project is public and has been published for about 60 days.

Project URL:

https://hotcatnip.itch.io/battlemaidens

What I have already confirmed:

* The page is set to Public

* A cover image is uploaded

* The project has both an HTML5 build and a Windows build

* “Unlisted in search & browse” is not enabled

* NSFW is not enabled

* Tax information is completed, and payout setup is also complete

However, when I search for the project using its full title exactly as written in the Title field, it does not appear in search results.

Full title:

BattleMaidens: Break Duel

I also tested devlogs:

* I created a new **General Update** devlog

* The devlog is public by direct URL

* It appears on the project page correctly

* But it still does not appear on the public “most recent devlogs” page

So at the moment, both the project page search visibility and the devlog listing visibility seem abnormal.

I have already contacted support as well.

Has anyone seen this happen before, or is there anything else I should check?

Thank you.

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed that part. I wanted the embarrassed reactions and gradual loss of composure to feel especially satisfying, so I’m really happy that came through.

Thank you.
Combat mechanics are still early, but they will continue to evolve in future updates.

Thank you for the feedback.
More mechanics and options are planned as development continues.

More content is planned for future updates.
Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for sharing the video. I’m glad you enjoyed the game.

Thank you. Still a long way to go, but I appreciate it.

Thank you. The public version will remain general-audience, but extended versions for supporters are planned during development.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you like the art. I’ll keep improving the project.

Thank you very much!
I’m glad you enjoyed the gameplay.
