How does a game get featured on the front page ?

Hello friends,

I was just wondering (after posting my game on the featured request part of this forum) how or what is required for a game to be featured on the front page of the site ? I think my game is pretty solid and wouldn't mind the publicity from this site however i'm not so sure as to how it is done!

For instance what do they look for ? does it have to be a specific genre ? is it presentation based ?

Any help or recommendation would be very very appreciated!

By the way, the page of my game is : https://yassirr.itch.io/stello
Also here is the post on the featured forum : https://itch.io/t/395027/hardest-game-of-2019-try-it-yourself

thank you and god bless!

You're mixing things up. :) The Release Announcements category has nothing to do with featured games. Featured games are hand-picked by our admins. It's true that a good-looking game with a good project page is more likely to be picked, and a good release announcement helps with that, but in any event it's a manual process. Hope this helps!
