Hello! This page is basically a depot so I can give keys out to kickstarter backers, I had no idea that it would actually get visibility without linking to it. But yes, a game is coming and I've added some screenshots and a video, I'll probably add more later.
Over 800 followers will have this in their feed and if you do promotion anywhere, people might find the page on search engines. Also people looking at your profile.
Unless of course the page was not made visible back then. Right now it is indexed.
But with this title you can't find it. You need to get rid of that [] stuff. People will only find it by full title Baldr's Squid Isekai [18+ Adult] , including the special charcacters. Searching for Baldr's Squid Isekai will not find it on itch. Too many games with squid in title and the search algorith does not know to ignore the special characters in your title.
Lot's of idiosyncracies here. Yes. Like there being two search boxes. And the search-search box only searches title names and short descriptions only if there are not enough results. And not very good if the titles have clutter that is not a name. Or has ' in it. They have to put manual aliases for that. They really should make their algorithm ignore such things, as it does with CaPiTaLiSaTiOn. Your game pops up for baldr's alone, but not baldrs squid isekai. Too many games with squid or isekai in title and the results for partial title match are cut off randomly.
You moved the [] in short description. That is an elegant solution.
For the crowd here I would suggest a demo version or a limited web version. This is not steam, where you can give back a game no questions asked. But it helps that you are an established developer. My opinion for new developers: if you release a paid game here without free demo, you gonna have an extra hard time.

Can we buy the game after it is finished here too? Because regional laws agianst 18+ Content on Steam, steam is blocking the site for me
It seems a fun game hope i can enjoy it to, dont get in the kickstarter sadly
Yup, it's coming out tomorrow in Early Access, same as the Steam version.
EA version here, do we keep it once it turns into the full game?
I don't know where some of the complains from people are coming from that once claimed having to buy a game twice.
Yes, the EA version here will turn into the full version when it's complete. You don't need a second copy, you just need to download updates.
I did the same with my last game, Memoirs of a Battle Brothel.
Thanks for your fast response, convinced me to buy it, keep up the good work! :)

Awesome, man. Great work. So cool.

I also got an email to promote this game from itch.io :P
I guess it happens for people, who bought another of your games.
This project looks really good just judging from the screenshots, so I look forward to your future progress :)
That's a good one. I have tears in my eyes.

Hmm interesting, thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not too familiar with how itch works still.
