After 10 days Game+account still not detected by search engine on itch?

Anyone knows what is going on? Seems this happens to many people for some years now on Itch (found many other complaints about this), is this platform broken? Waiting for 10 days now.

The project name is Sketchy Fables

No it’s not. Many people create topics about this because they don’t make any effort to read the rules before posting and miss the entire guide we have written about getting indexed that we instruct people to read before creating a topic:

Your page is not indexed because you have page that is a game but you don’t actually have a game uploaded, just an image file.

The only thing I noticed is that you haven’t set what platform your project is on, so it can’t be properly indexed. You can change that on “Edit Game” and selecting that platform(s) the downloaded file is for.

Also, have you made a creator profile? This is where you can display your work, and it might impact if games you upload get indexed (not entirely sure).

See above. Your project is classified as low quality (and not indexed) because it's a game, but all you have uploaded is an asset pack. Lack of a creator profile isn't supposed to have an impact on game indexing; I'd only check that if there was no other problem with the game. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the feedback. It was a bit unclear what was going on, I normally dont use platforms a lot.
