Posting information about a game that is currently Patreon-only?

[scarlettyoung]

I spent some time looking through the different sub-forums, but I'm still unsure about this. Is there a forum dedicated to games which do not currently have public releases but are for Patreon supporters only? Can one list information about a game without providing the game itself, or is a copy of the game required to be listed? Thank you for your help.

flawed logic there you don't get patrons, if nobody is playing your game
you put the game out there first so people get a taste
once the player gets hooked, then they go looking for more product

As polywog said... it's illogical to do that unless something of the following happens:

-It isn't your first game
-You are collaborating with people that did a game before.

In those cases there is already a reputation, but even so you would always need a demo to catch more people.

Great advice, guys. Thank you for your input.

You can make a thread in general if the game is not released, in req if it's released and waiting for upload of it goes in games if we have any version to share.

Oh, okay. Perfect! Thank you for your help!

So, it's 9 months later and I've got a small fanbase, monthly support, and tons of new features. I would like to start offering a slightly delayed version of Kronos Time Titan here to those people who want to play by cannot afford to pitch in. However, I prefer spending my time working on the game rather than uploading copies here. Would you recommend I look for someone to assist me with this? I don't mind sharing the game, even though I'm trying to use it to pay for food so I can continue to work on it, but I think active financial supporters deserve to have the latest updates and bonus features.

I appreciate any suggestions.

What kind game? 2D? 3D? Renpy, RPGM, Unity?

Turn based, Strategy (sort of D&D-type grid battles with hex overworld map), with 3DCG scenes and semi-VN dialogue. A mix of a lot of stuff because it's written from scratch (not Renpy, RPGM, etc).

It's at the point where most of the game mechanics are programmed and I can start ramping up the content.

Ok.
