March 27 Update
Added 2016-03-27 21:53:58 +0000 UTCI hope everyone is having a good holiday. The new public version of the game is out, and with the second chapter completed I expect to get an uptick in attention. And actually, I'd like to help that out if at all possible.
Does anyone know of sites or other places that cover NSFW games and might be interested in TLS? LewdGamer asked me for a story a while back, but I thought it made more sense to wait for the chapter to be completed. Other than that, though, I'm not sure what there is out there. The field of adult games is pretty fragmented.
Another thing I've been meaning to pursue but haven't had time for is subreddits. I've seen some data from Hreinn Games, and they seem to compose separate groups of users from most of the forums I frequent. Please note that I'm not looking for places that just seem like they might be appropriate - I'm not wanting to go hawk my game in a bunch of new places. Rather, I want to know if anyone has places they already frequent that might actually be interested in the game.
On a similar note, some of you have said you wanted to introduce the game to friends, but were waiting. With the second chapter done and many new resources in place, I think now is the time. ^-^
My month of side projects will begin once I've fielded the initial wave of responses to the game, so likely March 28-29 or so. You'll still get weekly updates from me here, so see you soon!

newgrounds.com funny-games.biz and comdotgames.com wetpusygames.com are all sites with porn games. but you can just google porn games, and then select from about 47,500,000 results. XD

2016-03-31 08:23:57 +0000 UTCYou certainly do shoot for the stars—The Last Sovereign is tremendously ambitious and subverts many of the RPG clichés. When I first booted up the game, I expected goofy porn, but instead I got erotic epic fantasy in the vein of Mamare Touno's Maoyu meets Jacqueline Carey's Terre d'Ange. I'd love to see TLS get more coverage.

2016-03-28 18:20:48 +0000 UTCHmm, I can't say I was thinking of aiming that high. I tend to shoot for the stars in my creative ambitions but be way too cautious with asking anything of anyone, though, so perhaps I should reconsider. I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more in the way of mainstream coverage of the NSFW Patreon boom, it feels like something that would have attracted a few pieces.

2016-03-28 17:19:52 +0000 UTCNo problem, thanks for the suggestions! I did recently get a thread up on HypnoPics, but I hadn't heard of TFGames at all. Definitely something to consider!

2016-03-28 17:15:17 +0000 UTCIf you want to aim high, www.rockpapershotgun.com is a gaming news and reviews site that covers a lot of indie games. For instance, the site has a brief review, written by twine indie dev Porpentine, of the NSFW RPG-maker game Embric of Wulfhammer's Castle. Their S.EXE column by Cara Ellison covered NSFW games. Unfortunately, Cara Ellison and her S.EXE column is on hiatus, but you could still pitch your game to them to see if anyone else would be interested in reviewing it. I learned of your game from LewdGamer, but I wish there was a better site for NSFW game coverage. TFGamesSite.com is dominated by games about gender/sex change, but they have become increasingly liberal in what they allow submitted to their site, so I'll second that recommendation.

2016-03-28 15:05:50 +0000 UTCAn argument could be made that the sex scenes and alot of your overall narrative *could* fall into their criteria. You could always submit the game game to their panel. Worst case scenario they say no right?

2016-03-28 13:26:10 +0000 UTCI think of www.tfgamessite.com since corruption and mind change are accepted as transformation on that site and their game database system is pretty neat and their forum is quite active with a good community. You can also try hypnopics-collective.net who has a little less traffic but also a good community. PS. sorry for the bad english

2016-03-28 12:24:17 +0000 UTCHuh, that's a good suggestion I had not considered at all. However, some research turned up their list of rules: <a href="https://vndb.org/d2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://vndb.org/d2</a> Unless those are rough guidelines that they don't actually follow, I suspect TLS is not eligible for inclusion. Nice idea, though.

2016-03-28 03:27:29 +0000 UTCAnother place may be <a href="https://vndb.org." rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://vndb.org.</a> I know last sovereign isn't technically a visual novel but they have other rpg maker games on there so it may be worth looking at. Additionally manga gamer and jast USA are both big providers for adult games so it may have a forum for you to look at.

2016-03-28 01:53:42 +0000 UTCThanks for the suggestions! I have a thread on Fenoxo's forum, but I doubt I'm big enough to get anything more than that. MiKandi did actually contact Hreinn Games, but since we don't support mobile there wasn't a lot we could do together. It's definitely an option worth considering, I think, they're a big player and they probably have an audience I mostly don't reach. Hmm...

2016-03-28 01:49:02 +0000 UTCI know <a href="https://www.fenoxo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.fenoxo.com</a> is a pretty popular place and I spend a fair bit of time there. Mikandi is primarily mobile stuff but they have a pretty active blog and do game reviews so it might be worth checking out. That is where I get most of my gaming info from other than straight from the source kinda places.
