Advice for game not indexed after a week.

Hi everyone!

About a week ago I published a small game ( https://drhonny.itch.io/goodnightgirls ) but it still hasn’t been indexed in search results.

As far as I can tell, I’ve filled out all the required fields, but maybe I’m missing something.

If anyone has a moment, could you please take a quick look and let me know if anything seems off or incomplete?

I wish to be sure i have setup all things correctly before submitting a support ticket, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 💫

As explained in the unofficial FAQ, it can take that long. Most likely you did nothing wrong. Please see the rules of this category where it says that the people who can tell you for sure don't watch this forum and are unlikely to see your post. Hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to reply !

So far i discovered the problem could be somewhere else.

I think this because not even my nickname show up in the search box.

Searching for "DrHonny" lead to just 2 unrelated results .

My account is older than a month, so at this point i think the only thing i can do is to submit a ticket.

...The search function was changed a while ago. Creator profiles don't show up in results anymore. You have to have at least one indexed project.

What can I say... fingers crossed it'll be listed as a Christmas present !!!

The only thing that works perfect - just share your project in social media. It give boost in indexing queue, in case if it's allright with game (like correct AI generatioin disclosure: https://itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines#ai-disclosure)
