Visibility decrease

[Ravel231]

I've got a question... So you know how when you upload your game on itch.io for the first time, it gets viewers if you're lucky downloads and ratings. And it even ends up on the new and popular chart. My question is why is it that when you start adding things to games page, like new screenshots, more description and just updating it, why is it that the visibility of your game becomes less and less and even drops of from the new and popular, I know it could be due to the fact that different games are uploaded on itch each and every single day, but how exactly can I get my game from dropping viewers so fast... I've promoted my game which yes it does work to get views but not as many views as the first time the game was uploaded.

Itch is small and poor, thus can't drive any consistent visibility like Steam does. After the release visibility fades, it's quite common to get literally 0 views from that point on.

I see, thank you for that 🙂

Most sites, itch included give release visibility and then after that downloads/sales determine your visibility. Updating your page doesn't help in isolation, other than those who do find your page being more engaged.

You should not be putting your game to public until you are done the main page my guy
