my game is not visible on the site and cannot be found
it can only be found through the direct link here:https://krozz-san.itch.io/ronin-odyssey

but it is impossible to find the game through the search or otherwise.

me and my friends tried and failed

I already waited 1 day before posting here as it says in the rules

You just created the game two days ago, and now it's the weekend. Takes longer than it says in the FAQ anyway. Doubly so if it's your first paid game. Please wait.

OK, thank you

hello, it's been almost 6 days already, I still can't find my game in search or by tags, etc.
how long will the verification take?

Moderator(+1)

It can take two weeks or more, especially for paid games. Sorry.

ok thanks for the reply i will wait

My issue is also the same. I published this game https://3gnude.itch.io/erotic-oasis on 16th but still not indexed

I get it , it will take 2 weeks or so. Ok no problem but I have a question?

Will this impact the game ranking. As I guess ranking algorithm gives a boost to the game when you have just launched it

First of all: next time please make your own topic, because that's a different question.

Second: if you mean your game's position in Most Recent, that depends on when your game page was published. It's not a boost, it's chronological. In other tabs, the ranking is more complicated. Also, games bob up and down all the time. So if your game is indexed with a delay, that will have an impact, but it will be indirect and temporary. Doubly so as other games are in the queue too, and will probably show up after yours.
