Hello friends,
I uploaded a new game and it is not showing on the site, only if you have the link.
I did a quick search and someone said that the admins have to test the game first. Is this still true?
The strange thing is that I already received an e-mail from itch.io with publishing status ok.
Thanks :)
Hello, I don't see anything wrong with your page's listing. This topic is for people having trouble with their game appearing in search. Your game appears in search fine. I see you mentioned the "fresh games" page. I'm not sure what page you're referring to, but generally the "fresh games" section on the homepage is for stuff that has been featured by a curator, not every game appears there.
Also, if you need help with something, please don't reply to a developer. You'll be notifying them and not site admins, so we may not even notice your request. You can either create a new topic, or reply to a moderator or developer. Thanks
leafo,
We are having the same problem in the site search. What ever we have done to tick you guys off we are sorry. I am serious when I say, WE ARE SORRY. Can we PLEASE be put back into the search results? Please. Our game Wizards of Alamar and a free version has been uploaded a couple weeks and all was going fine... then i asked someone in support how we could get on the front page. Look, you need to understand that if there is something we don't understand, we will ask the staff questions. We aren't afraid of hearing 'NO' as an answer, we just want to know the answer. I bring this up because after I submitted a support email asking how to get our game promoted on this site... no one can find us. Go onto the back end of your website and look at our views... steady trend upwards each day... Then the email was sent and a steady trend downwards. Now i want you to look at our activity on the site... it has been a steady trend upwards. Were doing what your staff said to do and the result... is that we apparently pissed someone off and NO ONE can even search for us unless they know our EXACT GAME NAME. We took all the screen shots if your interested.
For example:
- If I type in “Wizard” 62 games show up except ours, which happens to be Wizards of Alamar.
-If I search through all the games on sale, which we are running ours for 75% off… nothing.
-If I search role playing which is what the game is under… nothing.
So here I am saying, you win. I am sorry and will never ask a question again after this mail. But could we please get our game listed again? If not could you please have the courtesy to tell me that our game is not wanted on your site, because i don't want to waste your time or mine. And I am sorry if this post upsets anyone, but it upsets me to no end when something we have work on for such a long time, and have poured so much into is just tossed to the side without any reason why.

i did attach the screen shots of search for wizards and wizards of alamar. we have 30 or 40 more screen shots of various searches if you want to see those also.

I've replied to the new topic you created here: https://itch.io/post/715538
Please do not reply in this thread anymore
I can't firnd Wizards of ALamar either unless I use either "alamar" or the entire name. How would I find it if I didn't know the name? If it weren't for this thread I would never know abou this game. I see 61 games with wizard in the name, there are definately at least 62 so why is there no button at the bottom at least to see more games? Being a brand new user maybe I jsut don't know how to search this properly but I would think it would be a simple as typing a name, or partial name, in and clicking search.
If people are interested in this ongoing conversation it has been moved to another thread... here is a link to that thread. ALL feed back would be helpful.

WE ARE FREAKING CRAZY HERE AT X AND Z!!!! CRAZY I SAY!!! WE ARE GIVING THIS GAME AWAY FOR FREE THIS WEEKEND!!! Seriously if you want a cool game get it here for free this weekend. https://xandzproductionsllc.itch.io/wizardsofalamar Its our way of saying welcome to the family. All we ask is that you post a review and spread the word if you have the time.
I assume you mean Thousands Layered Edge, because Zombie District is listed. That's because your game doesn't have any files for people to download. It's not going to show up in searches until you add some.
Edit: and yes, it would have been better to make a new topic than to necro a two-year-old thread. I only noticed your post by chance. :)
