EmiWe came up with some new guidelines for the Godot Showcase page. Feedback welcome: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-website/pull/917
Adriaan de Jongh@emi_cpl I suppose that the '100 reviews on Steam' requirement will discourage 99% of the devs who'd like to do a submission and kill a lot of enthusiasm. it feels a bit hostile for an engine so popular among hobbyists. perhaps that specific requirement can be weighed internally while the public form asks for specific kpi's on the game's (potential) success
@adriaan When we had a form open we got an overwhelming amount of games with 0 reviews and, to be honest, not really good looking. I know there are a lot of people giving their all to make their game a success, but we want to have this showcase to be curated with good quality projects that can showcase what the engine can do. So, maybe we can reduce the amount of reviews, but the objective of it was for the game to be validated already. We really can't add everyone or review thousands of entries
@emi_cpl right, totally agree on that only games with measurable success should be showcased and nobody should expect you to consider every game. perhaps the point of the showcase page can be elaborated on a bit more like:
"we're proud of every game made using godot, but unfortunately can't feature them all. to best showcase the engine and its capabilities, we're looking to feature games with measurable success." etc
I guess my point is that I hope you can soften the blow a bit ;)
