itch.io

i did contact itch.io support, i sent them about 10 emails but they didn't explain what happened. What i know is that i never had this kind of problems before, never. All started with Crocodile Maldido, and now everyone telling me that is normal that if i upload a new package to fix some bugs and make the game better, all my game disappear from listing and with that all my ranking (Crocodile Maldido reached number 6 in "New & Popular") killing the game. That doesn't sound normal to me. 

I understand what you are saying, but what i am saying is different and i don't know why you alwasy try to divert the topic. I will try to explain again. You said that if i make changes the game could be  unlisted for a new review...fine, but why also my other games got deleted from search and list? So... are you saying that if i make a change on one game, all games i published in the past will be hidden for a couple of days as well? Please explain because i donn't get it.

so every time i upload a new version the game will be hidden for couple of days? that is insane, better not do any change and make a new game instead.

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I'm experiencing an issue with my itch.io listings. Today, I noticed that some of my games, including the recently updated Crocodile Maldido, have disappeared from search and browse.

This is actually the second time this has happened with Crocodile Maldido ( https://wenudu.itch.io/crocodile-maldido ).  Three days ago, the game was unlisted, and after contacting itch.io support with several emails, it was reinstated.

It's strange that only some of my games are affected, as The Statue remains listed. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered similar issues or if there might be an explanation for this recurring problem.

I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions the community might have. Thank you!

Hey everyone!  I've got some huge news for all you Crocodile Maldido fans out there. We've just released a NEW version that's gonna blow your minds!

Crocodile Maldido: Angrier Than Ever

Let's start with the big one: Crocodile Maldido is more angry than ever. I mean, we're talking next-level rage here. He's faster, stronger, and his attacks are absolutely brutal. You're gonna need to be on your toes to survive!

New Enemy: Sewer Menace

But that's not all. Lurking deep in the sewers, a new enemy awaits. I won't spoil too much, but let's just say you're gonna need to be prepared for a slimy surprise. 

So, there you have it! A major update for Crocodile Maldido, featuring a more enraged crocodile and a new, slimy enemy. Let me know in the comments below wha you think. See you next time!

https://wenudu.itch.io/crocodile-maldido

thanks for the feedback, yes about the box/step, i had to do this otherwise it would have been even more hard to find, and emissive lights under that dark water they just behave like that, the light covers the texture, but then i thought, at least the player knows where to go. About the pools, there is a big sign overe the doors hard to miss.

UPDATE

After 10 emails they answered and they put back my games saying "now your project has been properly indexed" ....Now? wait it was properly listed and indexed 3 days ago and performed very good for 2 day and then it disappeared from the store, but the most important is that it disappeared also form the "New and Popular" where all the traffic was coming from. and now they put it back and dont even say why it disappeared for 3 days. but now the game is dead because it lost all its ranking.

Crocodile Maldido: From Sewer Star to Search Slump

Hey everyone! Today I want to talk about my recent experience with itch.io and my game, Crocodile Maldido.

Look, I'm not gonna lie. When I uploaded Crocodile Maldido, a free horror game about a sewer-dwelling croc, things were going great! It shot straight into the "Best New Horror Games" list, landing at number 6! That's insane for a solo developer like me. Views were climbing, hitting around 2,000 in a short time, and even some generous folks sent donations. I felt like I might finally have a hit on my hands!

But then... poof. Nothing. My game vanished from search results. It wasn't even listed anymore. Talk about a total bummer! I reached out to itch.io support about this, but after two days, still no response.

https://wenudu.itch.io/crocodile-maldido

It's frustrating, you know? This could have been a breakout moment for Crocodile Maldido, and now it feels like that chance has slipped away. Don't get me wrong, I love itch.io as a platform, but this whole situation has me feeling pretty discouraged. (i might end up making my own game platform)

Alright, jokes aside. Dwelling on the negative won't help. So....

Stay tuned!

I'll keep you guys updated on what happens with Crocodile Maldido. In the meantime, let me know in the comments if you've ever experienced something similar on itch.io. Let's share some tips and keep building this awesome indie game community!

UPDATE

Since itch.io doesn't answer i uploaded another game.....well the same game but with a slightly different name. Crocodile Maldito instead of Crocodile Maldido. After few minutes i received the email that says that my game is published and it appears in "Recently added" but that is not true, the game doesn't appear in recently added even after 30 minutes of page reloading, i see all new added games but not mine.

Thanks for playing my game
Dancing with the croc is definitely a new one for me, that sounds like a hilarious and memorable experience!
I love hearing about players who find unexpected ways to interact with the game, like that dedly double trap, i really enjoyed a lot watching it.

Hey Bobe-wan, thanks so much for the awesome review! I watched your gameplay video and i enjoyed it a lot.  The tension and safe rooms were definitely designed to keep players on their toes, so it's great to hear that they worked well for you. I'm also glad you enjoyed the graphics and sound effects. They were a big part of creating that immersive experience.

¡Muchas gracias por jugar y compartir tu experiencia! ¿Hay algo que te gustaría ver en futuras actualizaciones?

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the spooky atmosphere. We're working hard on more updates, so stay tuned.

its not a box, its a step

It turned out you were right. There was a glitch with the portal paper in the inventory. I've fixed it. Thank you very much for your feedback. let me know if you need to download the latest version which is 3.5.6

That's very strange. I've checked thoroughly but couldn't reproduce the issue you described. It might be a corrupted save checkpoint. In that case, I recommend loading a previous checkpoint or deleting the save files in LiminalLeap\Saved\SaveGames to start anew. If that doesn't resolve the problem, please try downloading the latest version. I'll continue investigating to see if I can replicate the glitch. Thank you for reporting it.

what version did you download?

If you had taken the time to read carefully, you would know that it's only for the next 200 downloads. It's normal for this to happen. Even Epic Games gives away AAA games for free every week, and no one complains about that.The game will return to its paid status shortly if that eases your mind. Consider the two dollars as a small contribution to support the developer, which is the primary purpose of this platform. While we occasionally offer free content, we also rely on these small donations to sustain our work.

Balancing performance across different hardware configurations can be demanding, especially for a single-developer project. Anyway the minimum spec. required is an rtx 2060, which means all the rtx gpu, and i think its a pretty wide range

Yes. The free game test has indeed ended. We appreciate your interest. The paid version offers additional features, including the ability to save your game at specific checkpoints.

The game was free during the itch.io jam to get player feedback and test new ideas. We appreciate your interest! The current small fee allows us to keep improving the game based on feedback and add exciting features in the future.

you can't run this game with a vega 3 im sorry, minimum spec. rtx 2060

coming soon

of course gtx 1070  doesnt support dlss, the minimum spec required for this game is rtx 2060.

yes its a zip file and regarding the error what gpu do you have? this game is designed to work with rtx nvidia

Starting over isn't a mistake. The game is designed that way. Your first checkpoint is at the beginning of level two

Hello, I'm the developer of Liminal Leap, which I submitted to this jam. I've played through several of the entries and I'm really impressed by Radio Check. The VHS effect and walking camera shake are fantastic! Did you create those effects yourself? The introduction is very well done and creates a strong atmosphere. I appreciate the game's overall style (Love the outside map with the snow. It's so realistic.) , as it aligns with my own approach to game development.

While I enjoyed the game, I found the camera shake a bit excessive when running. It might be worth considering toning it down.

I think our styles might complement each other, so perhaps we could collaborate on a project in the future.

I  voted and rated your game. Good job!

Not yet, but we're considering it as a future update if the game sells well enough to justify the development of multiplayer features.

nice game...yes i had the same problem, not only when you change broadcast but also later on, suddenly you dont move anymore and of course you have to alt-f4

thanks the video is great!! and thank you for reporting the bugs it really help me making the game better.

why not, contact me

thank you very much

the save option is available only in the second level, you have to do the first level without saving

LIMINAL LEAP

Liminal Leap is a pulse-pounding escape room experience set within the unsettling world of the Backrooms. Here, reality unravels, and familiar spaces morph into unrelenting, unsettling corridors. You awaken trapped within a labyrinthine facility – a twisted reflection of the everyday, now warped and hostile.

https://wenudu.itch.io/liminal-leap

Your Objective: Escape. Unravel the secrets of this insidious place and find your way back to reality.

The Peril:

• The Lurkers: These guardians of the Backrooms manipulate the very fabric of reality. Walls shift, doors vanish, and the map you hold becomes unreliable. Stay alert! A single misstep could lead to a dead end, a trap, or worse.
• A Multitude of Deaths: The Backrooms are unforgiving. One wrong turn, a misstep in the dark, or a run-in with a Lurker could lead to a gruesome demise.

The Challenge:

• Limited Saves: The first level is a harrowing gauntlet – your wits and reflexes alone will be your guide. Only after reaching the second level can you find solace in a precious save point.

Embrace the Liminal:

• Unsettling Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in the eerie ambiance of the Backrooms. Drab lighting, unsettling sounds, and the constant feeling of being watched will keep you on edge.
• Exploration and Discovery: Uncover the secrets hidden within the facility. Each level offers a unique environment to navigate, puzzles to solve, and clues to unearth the truth behind the Backrooms.

Liminal Leap is a test of courage and resilience. Will you succumb to the ever-shifting halls, or can you outsmart the Lurkers and unravel the mysteries of this unsettling reality?

hello, i remember playing this game like one year ago and i had one of the best backrooms experience ever. I wanted to play it again today so i downloaded the new launcher and started the game.After hours im still inside the backroom bouncing betwen the halloween tv and the radio. I give up, cannot find the exit. why now is so difficult to find a way out to a new place? Atre 2 day trying i guess i give up. maybe there is no exit? Anyway i used to like this backroom and i wanted to make a new video for my youtube channel but i guess i won't.

hi....on my pc does't work

Very nice, loved the atmosphere and the gore. I wish there was a way to escape, but it's ok.

ciao Stefano sono Stefano di Wenudu , ultimamente gli archivi di alcuni dei tuoi giochi sono bloccati dall'antivirus di windows che li identifica come minaccia grave, immagino che sia un falso positivo, ma a meno che non si disabiliti l'antivirus non c'è verso di far partire il gioco o di mantenere l'archivio scaricato.
