Hi all,

totally new to the whole itch.io thing but glad to be here. After only buying stuff from the plattform I have decided that after a year of my game being released on steam, I'd like to offer it here as well for a price lower than on steam. If you are curious, that's the game:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1887070/Tales_of_Vogar__Lost_Descendants/
(couple hundrets of sales, >90% positive reviews)

Now I read on:

"We’re passionate about games at itch.io. I don’t think anyone would fight that claim. We hand curate nearly all of the home page on itch.io and we’re always looking for more awesome projects to feature. If you want someone at itch.io to know about your upcoming release you have to, well, let one of us know."

-> Whom would I need to contact for that? Do you guys think a game like mine would even be interesting for the itch.io crew?
Can I share a preview of my games store page without actually releasing it?

Did you look at the date of that blog post?

As far as I know Itch does not accept submissions anymore for that kind of promotion. Maybe I am mistaken. But the impression I got, is, that you can't promote your game on itch. Like paying or suggesting your game to itch curators to put it in their youtube channel or the featured list on the home page.

Maybe they read the accouncement board or devlogs. Or maybe they still have a suggestion box to apply, that I am not aware of. But I am not a game developer and would not look out for such things... ;-)
