Hi everyone❕
Hope you're fine. I am a developer of games for adults (🔞) looking for help!
I would like to know where I can post updates of my games in itch.io in order to increase visibility and get new visitors.
(something like: https://itch.io/games/free/nsfw )
Additionally, I would like to know if itch.io has promotional features or sponsored areas for game banners or samples.
Thank you so much for your help!
I've published a post following the rules of: https://itch.io/board/10022/release-announcements but I am checking that my post has been deleted or is not in there... Please help!
After that I publish a new project, but was deleted as well. Maybe I am using the wrong community... Please help.
Here the other post link: https://itch.io/t/2051637/whos-the-father-artemisse-mega-pack-vol1#post-5741162
Thank you!!!
You know, I've really read community rules and I don't want to go against them, because I know these kind of game content is not for all audiences (+18) but since I saw my post deleted, I worry I'm not using the correct community for it. I just want to post it this update in the correct place. Please help me. Thanks!!!
Heya!
Your posts are there on the release forum--I can see them, so they're not deleted--but they're just not on the first page of it. I believe the posts are displayed according to an algorithm, depending on how many positive votes the project has gotten, with the more highly voted being displayed more prominently.
Also, I would advise not to spread your project out so thinly across so many separate project entries, and to consolidate them into a singular project, or it may prove to be quite confusing for those looking to play it and having a wall of similar looking projects to sort through.
Heya,
Happy to be able to help!
By editing it via the dashboard and scrolling to the bottom, you can change the comments section on your project into a full community forum where users can post threads if you they wish. Though that's on a per project basis. I don't believe there's a way to have a general community that encompasses every project page--hence the benefit of consolidating everything down into a central hub that's more easily manageable. You can also post dev logs with each new major update, to help keep people up to speed on things, and I believe major update dev log posts help with your game's visibility, too.
