so actually it's weird ,a few hours ago only my profile appeared without space 

promoting a game is hard, I've been doing it for months, and it's the goal of your sites, in my opinion, to offer visibility on the games, but since I'm obviously not the only one to have his game that doesn't even appear in the right category,I personally think there is a problem ,it would be better to display all the games by category ,and even if we find it with more than 500 pages ,it would seem more logical to me than to leave games in the limbo of oblivion

We try to make games visible, but how many games are we supposed to fit on the front page, out of the 130K we have now? When you click on a tag, you can scroll or page through all the games in it, even if there are many thousands. But how does that help you find the best of them? We offer all kinds of mechanisms. You can select several tags at once. You can look for games similar to those you like. You can even find collections to browse in the search results. Either way, some will rise to the top and some will sink to the bottom. It can't be helped. Sooner or later, you can only get better visibility by also being visible from outside of Itch.

Hello ! I am having the same issue. Even when I select categories very specifically, I end up with only a few games showing up, but definitely not mine.

That's odd. I'm searching with NSFW content enabled and Don de soi doesn't show up in, say, recent games with the Halloween tag. Other games released about as recently do show up. I'll ask.

Update: turns out, projects marked as games, (as opposed to books or asset packs) need to have some executables to download before they'll appear in searches. Yours has a video and a text file. Is that intentional?

Then I'll let an admin know, so they can mark your project page as having game files.

Hi! I have the same problem. Executable files was uploaded and the game was published. It was yesterday. I thought I should wait, but nothing happens. Game still can't be searched on your website. I do not know what to do. Thanks!

In your case, it's because the game has a price tag attached, so it's being held for review. It should be up in a few more hours. Thanks for the patience.

Thanks! It would be great if there was any notification of it. Now my game in your website.  Thanks again!
