Hey. I’d like to know what could I do to increase my chances of approving an update as major.

My last release has doubled the script of the game, along with many other features, though it wasn’t considered a major update. I support Itch’s idea not to reveal their methods, but I hope there’s at least something the staff can tell about meeting the most important criteria without spilling the beans.

Looks fantastic!

Sure! We’re currently making a Christmas special with a few days of the story. Hope to share more details soon.

It’s already available. It’s an in-depth update. New days will be in the next version.

This is a question for mods and/or support in general.

I’m planning to release a major update for my game very soon. The thing is that I think the whole update could be an independent minigame for players who won’t be interested in the main game, but in the minigame instead.

Wouldn’t it violate Itch’s restriction on publishing the same content multiple times?

Спасибо!

It would be nice, but not in near future, there’s already a bunch of work to be done.

Oh, sorry. Done.

Thank you very much! Appreciate it. Please, DM us on Patreon, Boosty or X, we’ll send you a little gift of exclusive content.

Sure, but this time we plan to involve some characters for this. The first one should be Rei’s gloryhole as mentioned in the ending. More advanced customization is also highly desirable, as well as quest items and more complicated quests in general. We’re still thinking about other activities though.

Btw, demo gloryhole minigame with all the characters will be released in a week or two.

Thanks!

Thanks! We’ll definitely do something about it in the future updates.

Thank you!

At first, my game had a pretty good place at the popular page for a specific tags, that provided a huge amount of views and plays every day. Though, day 4 was pretty brutal for statistics and the game kept getting lower and lower on the page, collecting much less views. On the other hand, games, that released at the same time and had less rates and comments are still on top. This whole thing feels like it’s a kind of a circle when my game eventually is getting lower -> collecting less views -> getting lower even more.

Is there any tips on getting better statistics or on promotion in general?

Unfortunately, the game is not compatible with mobile platforms

Seems that CTR calculated for my game is being kinda incorrect. At this point I have 280k impressions and 24k views, which should be about 8.5% CTR. Though, hovering this CTR value says it’s based on 15k impressions from the last week, so the result value is 5.3%. And no, my game is not even a week old.

I believe it may affect my position at the popular page. Has something gone wrong for me or it’s how CTR is being calculated for other games too?

Спасибо)

We’ll consider this as a bonus material for Extended Edition ;)

Anyway, thanks for playing!
