I think it could bring a little value to engine recognition
Not sure if I can do it on behalf of CGE, but I could take everything from itch page of CGE to add it to itch tools DB, and then I will use it to fill in corresponding field of the game
It would indeed be cool to be listed in Top Game Engines - itch.io and be selectable for “Things you’ve used to build your project” in games on itch.io .
I admittedly have already submitted the form on https://itch.io/suggest-a-tool some time ago, and pinged them (through support@itch.io email) about it – unfortunately I didn’t get any answer from itch.io .
Looking at my notes, I submitted it around August 30, 2024 and was pinging them around October 2024 in thread “Castle Game Engine submission to itch.io “Game Engines” list”.
I don’t have the contents I used for my submission though (apparently I didn’t save them anywhere? or at least I can’t find it now). I only have my “pinging” email, which points to what I wanted to emphasize,
Some time ago (I think on August 30th) I submitted a new tool (game engine) for itch.io database, using https://itch.io/suggest-a-tool . The game engine is Castle Game Engine, an open source cross-platform 3D and 2D game engine with a visual editor and modern Object Pascal API ( https://castle-engine.io/ , also on itch.io: Castle Game Engine by Castle Game Engine ).
So far, I haven’t heard from you, and I think our game engine is not added to the database. It is not listed on Top Game Engines - itch.io , I cannot select it as “Things you’ve used to build your project” in my games.
I know things take time
Is there anything I can do to help you? Is any information about Castle Game Engine unclear? I’m the project’s lead, I can explain / showcase the engine
If you want to pursue this, to submit the engine to itch.io, you’re absolutely welcome and I’m grateful!
I shall also eventually retry this, maybe they’ll be more responsive in 2026 Something to do after 7.0-alpha.4 release (unless you will succeed sooner! ).
