Hey!
I couldn’t find any other way to reach itch editors so I will write here
Me (and my friends, but that’s a personal request) made a game Head’quarters for LD56 and it got to fresh games so was pretty popular and well… I think it’s pretty good (not like super good but something around average in my opinion). And we never got to itch recommendations digests (as I see it’s a second one with LD56 games)
So I was wondering is there any particular reason or it’s just vibes or something like that :)
I would really appreciate answer here or just a mail to yegor@yogurtthehor.se :)
Also, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying you have to do it. I am just looking into shat we can make better/differently. I just believe that it’s better to ask and questions do not harm anyone
We have another post for Ludum Dare games out, enjoy :)https://itch.io/blog/815985/itchio-recommends-more-ludum-dare-56-games
