My game has been released, why can't I search and browse?

Hope to help me solve it, thank you, project address   https://luoxiao.itch.io/ghost-institute

The way how you tried to upload your game (just a dropbox-url) might be causing an issue - and I’m actually surprised the system lets users do that. If it doesn’t go too much against your plans/publishing philosophy, try uploading your game directly to itch.io.

After you’ve done that, additional actions by a mod or admin might be required to queue another attempt at indexing it.

As an aside: Try to add more information (like the game engine and a few tags that help to describe the game) to your info box. The more complete the information is you’re offering, the easier it will become for potentially interested players to find your game. Because right now… Even if your game was indexed, nobody would be able to find it without already knowing the exact title…

Mod or admin operation? Thank You

I am not a moderator or admin, so I couldn’t say for certain. In some other cases of un-indexed games, a mod or admin replied that they had taken additional action - presumably marking a game to be indexed again by the server.

Do not worry about it too much: You have opened a thread, so they will look into it eventually. All I’ve given was some preliminary help.

Thank you very much for your reply. Let's work hard together.
