Good Evening Everyone. I’m new to this platform and I would like to satisfy my curiosity. I submitted my CV to choice of games and they referred me to hosted games instead on Jan 3rd of last year. So I made the game and submitted on the 23rd of December last year. But haven’t gotten a response since. Is it normal or am I doing something wrong? ---

Do you mean you submitted your game to Hosted Games on 23rd December 2024? If so, it’s not been very long, especially as it’s been over the holidays - so that sounds pretty normal to me. ---

Did you run a beta for your game, here on the forum or elsewhere? That’s a requirement for publication. ---

Here is a list of all requirements before submitting: > **[Write a Hosted Game](https://www.choiceofgames.com/looking-for-writers/write-a-hosted-game/)** > > Writing for Hosted Games Anyone can publish a game under the Hosted Games label. Hosted Games are written without editorial support from Choice of Games, and you do not need to submit your ideas in… You have to run a beta of the full game on the forum, it can be open or closed, and most usually use Dashingdon or cogdemos sites to do it. ---
