There's nothing in particular you can do. I don't know what the criteria are. I recommend trying to get organic traffic instead of counting on your devlogs being vetted by staff.
I usually get good feedback when it appears in New & Popular. And I notice that games that update frequently appear there. But I only update once every half year, and the game doesn't get featured in New & Popular. It's a bit sad to be honest. Even in Developer Logs in New and Popular, my post about the new update doesn't get displayed. :(
I just update the link and add a link to the new version of the game. How can this be verified by the staff that I really updated the game? Can I somehow write to them and provide proof that the game is updated?
In my previous attempts, it was the same, and it didn't appear in New and Popular. I thought it was because I didn't fill something out completely.
