Is it possible to add photos to the “sample photos” that are not currently in the game, but will be in the future?

A developer asked me to clarify if it is possible to use some pictures from the game that will be in the future (since the game is being developed).
It's about putting the game on this site.

why not? for example nlt media shows at the end of each game footage for the next game. if you are talking about something like that.

you mean in the op of the game thread here, right? then no, that would be like false advertising. same as you can't add tags that arent in the game yet

Hmm.
- Write tags as they appear in the game? How do you do that if the game's forum page is not owned by the author?
- As I understand it, let's say there are drawings with characters, but since the events with this character are not ready, you can at least show / hint what will be.

You can add tags that aren't in the game yet, as long as you specify they're "Future planned tags" under Genre as I did with my game: https://f95zone.to/threads/vox-gremory-r6-winterfire.196386/
In fact, putting the future planned tags is very useful as people want to know if you've planned a fetish they might not enjoy.

Yes, you report the game's thread under "Game Update" and specify that as of [Game Version], there are new tags, and you list them so that an uploader can update them.

You can add the previews (and other stuff) under "Developer Notes", example: https://f95zone.to/threads/overlord-h-r48-winterfire.36056/

either report the thread asking for the tags to be added or the dev can ask for ownership of the thread

the game thread is about the current state of the game, not future. if you want to show development/future stuff, the dev can create a dev thread about the game in the public dev forum and show whatever he wants

you can put them in Genre yes but not in the top tags

That's what I said, yes.

not really. what you said could easily be interpreted that you can put future tags in the top tags as long as you specify in Genre that they are future tags. so i wanted to clarify it

Oh ok, fair enough. I read it again and you're right, thanks.

Anyway, all of that info (planned tags and future previews) can all be contained in a single thread. Development threads are mostly used to gather followers before the game launches, then future development is typically locked behind paywalls. As for off topic threads, they're used to discuss the game without generating off topic in the main thread.
