I just put my game on the hub last night. And I was wondering when do they put it up?

You have to request a review under distribution. It wont get accepted right away. I've had mine under review for a few weeks now.

Oops normally I do a scan of the games on Wednesdays and Fridays, with occasional peeks on other days.

However right now I'm obsessed with a BYOND programming project and didn't look at anything today!

I will go through things on Friday and this weekend.

I'm curious what the requirements and how strict the judgement is?

When games are involved, the criteria are normally somewhat lax. Usually the game must be playable, be without any visible errors or bugs, have a reasonable amount of content, be your own original work, and still be under development. (I.e. hosting a server for someone else's game would not be hub material.)

Another restriction is that there can only be one hub entry per game -- for example, Superbly Awesome Death Insurgent Soldier Training can only be listed once, not twice. For example, a legacy version must be kept somewhere private, like on a website -- there can never be two versions on the hub, eg. SADIST 1.0 and SADIST 1.4.

Libraries are far more strict -- you can search back in Design Philosophy for the restrictions.

It would be more sweeping to say that games must be accessible/playable for people. So it can be a finished game, it just needs to be downloadable or served frequently enough that players will be able to find it.

That's what I meant -- I was actually pondering over that post this morning, thinking that I might have been slightly inaccurate.
