I have read through that link. I suppose its loosely plausible the "age" weighting is such that my game shows up very low, but I would be quite surprised if the normal popular was weighted to that degree. And after a quick perusal their are other games first launched in 2023 plenty high up the list.
My game Unnamed Space Idle has been on itch for a while and has a decent amount of players every day. I hadn't really used the browse page on here much, and thought to look for it the other day under the default of Popular. When browsing the Idle tag I can't find it at all (I'd imagine its there, just very far down). If you search by Idle and Space, you can scroll to the very bottom and see it is the last one. Idle + Incremental it is 3rd from last.
This doesn't seem to be a publishing issue, as it shows up fine if you scroll down, and shows up sooner if you do "top rated". It simply has an oddly low placement in popular. To be clear, there are currently 500+ people that play the game per day, I am 100% certain it should be higher on popular then it is so I assume there is some missed setup, or flag on it that I can not see on my dashboard.
Am I missing something somewhere? Do I need to fix an issue or change something? I read through https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed but thats mostly related to not showing up at all and it seems all my settings etc are fine.
Yeah unfortunately I don't have a great way to test this online it's myself . A lot of just stuff changed in that update and nothing should have anything to do with closing the game ><. I will figure it out at some point though!
Sometimes when an update happens the url et cetera that itch is hosting from for the game (which is running in an iframe) changes, People have definitely had that trigger the privacy stuff before when it wasn't.
Unfortunately there just isn't a fix outside of trying different browser or getting the proper whitelist setup et cetera.
It is your browser security/privacy settings that is causing the issue. Brave and incognito simply will not perserve the data that has your saves/settings. Others also wont depending on your browser settings.
Oh thats just cuase its an in progress build for next version and kinetic getting v1s on same level as lasers so everything bumps down one (you would jujst need to retrofit to the new higher one)
You mean like ignore what slots they are locked to entirely? I don't think that would work even with the links, if a shard that doesn't have any bonus on blue is in the blue slot, linking to it's not going to get any bonus out of that shard
It is in fact coming to steam! I am currently working on setting it up to work with the steam api and get the store page and steam setup fee etc all straightened out. Thanks for pitching in!
9 is rough. You need to farm Improved Tracking and resources for a while. And probably use a good weapon setup too.
Try running 2 deflectors, 1x Beam 2.0 or 3.0 (3.0 means more time to farm compute to max it, but you might need a ton of farm time regardless), 4x Laser Cannon (1.0 or 2.0 doesnt matter much) with Supportive Routing and support damage nodes and 1x Bomb for Volley access. Farm for a while, and then user your actives at the right time should do it.
You just farm outside of it and come and complete it when you have enough slots and levels . It's pretty much just a puzzle to solve as your power will not grow during the run once you've set your bases up
