[SOLVED] Game didn't appear in new releases after being fully released

On February 2nd we changed our game's status from "In Development" to "Released" and issued a Major Update devlog.

Our game hasn't appeared in New Releases nor received any bump in pageviews save from external traffic from people who already knew about our game. We would like to know if it's a bug or if there is something more we need to do in order for our game to appear in New Releases or being advertised in devlogs.

Major Release devlogs must be seen by staff first before they can put your project back at the top of new releases. I don't know what the criteria for approval are.

Thanks for your quick reply. I hope eventually itch can afford more staff to help make this process smoother. This is our second fully released game too.

We received a reply. For anyone reading this in the future:

"Games are only considered “new” on the day the page is published. This does not reset when new versions are added or the development state is changed."

I'm marking our thread as [SOLVED].
