Hi Itch,

I've released 3 games on this platform and its been a good experience except for one area. I have noticed that the only way I have ever successfully launched a game here is once I get on the "Latest Featured Games" list which puts me on the home page for a bit. This is when my game actually gets a decent amount of traffic and has it's chance to shine or flop based on if it's a good game or not.

The problem is I really have no way of knowing whether of not I will end up on the "Latest Featured Games" list. Which in turn means I am on egg shells as to the success of my game on itch. I reached out to itch with my 2nd game release and it was stated that games are picked for that list at itches discretion. That makes sense to me but I have no way of know if at what point itch is planning or has passed over my game as not good for that list.

So my feedback is could we have some way to formally submit for the "Latest Featured Games" list and could we get a "Mark" or something telling us we will pass or no pass if itch likes our game enough to end up on that list at some point. 

I understand this could mean every single developer will mark their game for review on that list but it will  give a finality and closed communication to the developer this is a possibility as it is key to success for a game.

 At this point as a developer I am refreshing itch.io many times during the day to see if my new game  https://bcubedlabs.itch.io/snowmansjourney made it or not to the "Latest Featured Games" because I have no idea what's going to happen.

Thank you for your time.
