Hi everyone,
I want to publish my first game on this store. Since I don't yet have a developer account, I filled out the "Release your game on GOG" form providing all the requested information.
Since after a few days I didn't receive any feedback about it, I contacted support asking if I had made any mistakes or if I had skipped any other steps.
After receiving an automatic email with a ticket number, I received no feedback. It's now been almost a week since I provided the info for the preview of my game and still nothing regarding the possibility of publishing it.

Is all this time spent waiting and without feedback something that just happened to me?
Is it possible that a developer has to wait all this time without still having a response from the GOG team?
GoG doesn't have the legions of support staffers standing at the ready 24/7, response times are bound to be slower than what you may be used to.
Just give it another couple days and/or contact them/send a reply to the initial ticket confirmation again.

A week is still a lot and GOG obviously still has some improving to do with their processes.

On the forums, the only thing that might happen in this regard is a blue (forum moderator) taking notice and forwarding/urging the the proper channels.

As for getting the developer color on the forum (orange), I think forum mods might be able to do that.

Hm maybe this is the reason why so few games are being released on GoG...
Developers waiting for a GoG reply...
With all due respect, have you read the short FAQ they linked on that page?
When will I hear back from you?

Rest assured that we'll be in touch if we decide to release your game on GOG. However, please keep in mind that if the game does not meet our quality standards and/or includes content not eligible for being published on GOG, we reserve the right to refrain from directly reaching out. [...]
What's the game in question, if you don't mind sharing that?

If I understand their post correctly, this is someone who wants to get their game onto GOG, not someone with whom GOG already has a deal or has even been in contact. I'm pretty sure GOG don't hand out dev accounts to randos (no offense to the OP) who merely want their game distributed here.

Did you try this link from the bottom of the page?
(the one labelled submit your game)

If not, try that and fill the forms/info out. Best of luck to ya :)

Yeah but only AFTER the game is released.

Which is incorrect English. Reaching out means starting a conversation, not replying to an enquiry.

Of course it sounds business-y enough so I'm sure they don't care about the bad English, or the OP for that matter.

Thanks!
It's exactly the form that I filled out.

With all due respect from me too, it is clear to me that GOG can also decide not to contact me if it deems my game unsuitable for publication. What I would like to know is if any of you have experience with this and if you managed to publish your own game, how long did you have to wait before getting positive feedback.

Yes, I confirm. It's the first game that I want to publish on GOG and I do not have any deal with GOG yet.

Oh, and uh, it's a weekend and GOG operates on Poland time, and there's a chance people may have taken the day off for Dzień Służby Celne, so good luck.
Poland really has way too many holidays :|
