Getting featured on the "Devlogs" page

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to ask if there is maybe something extra I need to do in order to get featured on the "Devlogs" page! I'm currently logging the development of my game through YouTube videos every week, and posting the videos to my devlog here on itch.io!

Thanks in advance! :)

Include the link to your Youtube channel. I can check it out. 

Sure! Here it is :)

Hey there. New games have to be approved by an admin before the attached devlog appears in the corresponding section of the site. I don't know what criteria are used, but it's probably a long enough queue that a couple of days' wait isn't unusual.

Okay! Thanks so much for the reply! :)

Hi No Time To Play,

Would it be possible for my game to be approved by an admin? I have completely revamped the game's page, and the current devlogs have all been written out!

Would really appreciate a response! Feeling quite disheartened at this point... :(

What makes you think it hasn't been approved already? Your last devlog was a while ago, by now it's long fallen off the first pages.

Thanks for the reply.

I just posted the next devlog (around 1 hour ago), however it still hasn't shown up on the Devlogs page. The reason why I thought it hadn't been approved yet, was because I never received an email saying that my game was ever published.

Could you please look into this? I would really appreciate the help, and if there is anything I need to do, I will happily do so.

Your game is published, it shows up on your profile just fine. Not so much in searches for lack of files, but it shouldn't be a problem for devlogs. I'll let an admin know.

Great! Thank you so much! Looking forward to hearing back from you on what the admins say!

Hi No Time To Play, has the issue been resolved? Appreciate the help!

Apparently there was a bug. It should now be fixed. Take a look and see!

Sorry, I didn’t get back to you! The issue has been resolved! Thank you so much for the help! :)

Generally for devlog posts, if it's just a link to content somewhere else then we aren't likely to boost the post. Your posts look YouTube video embeds and not much else. Hope that helps.

Oh okay, thank you so much for the response. Would it be okay if I added the transcript to each video as the blog post? I’ll add a couple of screenshots here and there to show some progress as well! Each video takes an entire weekend for me to create haha (still learning), so it’s not as if I’m not putting effort into them! Hope you can understand!

BUMP!

I just completely re-vamped the game's page, and have added the next blog post.

Please check it out, and tell me if this is enough to be featured on the devlogs page! Here is the link: https://daniellochner.itch.io/nest
