[Nyxerie]

I would really like to read your story. And to rate it when the time comes, of course.

[chris_chris]

Would like to read and rate the story

[Uniqueth]

I would love to get a read through, happy to offer any feedback!

[Quaintrelle]

I’m more than willing, and shall still fling my coins at you when the time arrives.

[Relic]

I would love to test this game out of it isn’t too late

[Charles_Parkes]

Great. I think that’ll probably do. Thanks everyone!

[Seven7h]

This sounds interesting, I’d be willing to read through it, if you’re willing.

[alliebee]

I would like to play it Also- I have an iphone and also steam, if it’s also released on steam which version do you prefer I buy and leave a review on? I will also send feedback if you still need it

[Algernon_Cleverlang]

I would love to read the full story, and giving it a rating on the App Store wouldn’t be a problem

EDIT: Oh I didn’t see your that’ll do post … my bad !

[SpiritWolf91]

I’d love to do this and I can give it a rating on amazon app store and Google play store

[Revolt_YT]

I would like to test it.!

[OScott]

Ooh, I remember reading the demo and digging this.

I think I’m willing to break my ‘leave no reviews’ rule to get a glimpse. I generally only play CoG/HG stuff on my Kindle, though, so the review would be on the Amazon AppStore.

…ugh, I missed the ‘that’ll do’ post. So… y’know, if you’re still willing to share at this point.

[Navy]

I would love to test your game

Made my first press kit

Presskit: ‘The Aegis Saga – Blood’

The whole process behind creating your ‘brand’ is both fascinating and ridiculously terrifying!

If anyone has any ideas about what works for them when it comes to press / promotion / love to hear from you.

Any feedback on the press page I’m building would also be like gold-dust!

I’d find any links to cool indie games / ebook release articles that you thought were particularly well done really great too

---

Some cool examples I’ve been looking at of different ways of doing this:

@dfabulich’s MetaHuman Inc. press release
@P_Chikiamco’s press kit for Slammed
@JimD’s Zombie Exodus press release
@Goshman’s Best of Us website page
@Cataphrak’s Guns of Infinity website page
@MizArtist33’s So You’re Possessed facebook page
@Eric_Moser cool fan art page on the Community College Hero website. I have no idea how you get people interested enough in your fiction to do fan art, haha
Zachary Sergi’s Heroes Rise has a very active twitter and facebook presence

Still scratching my head over the best way to do some screenshots!

[Xero_Espadas]

Depends on how you want to get people to read/buy your products, some post it in their Facebook/Twitter page and ask their friends to let others know about what your doing. You can ask around in the CoC forums to see which websites will be the most popular to expands more curious readers to take intrest in your stories. For me it’s the storyline and characters development.

Personally, when I first heard that this didn’t have Stats, I was disappointed to say the least. Guess we were thinking of different kinds of Stats, because I’m really enjoying the Demo! As for suggestions, I looked at your website and IMO found it easy to understand and some parts(such as the Furry Muses) were very entertaining. Looking forward to buying!

[Charles_Parkes]

Yay, weekend!
(and nose to feedback grindstone)

So, HG review of the game files pulled up a potentially massive issue - the chapter return appeared unlikely to work with split screen stats/story (like on ipad when held landscape)

Been working on that since I got back to work and believe its now resolved (this represents a large change to the most complex code in the story!) So I feel I can go to bed not feeling too bad about things. . . for the moment

---

Thanks @COGZealot - really glad you weren’t disappointed, and glad you liked the site Sometimes I feel like a bag of nerves Throw in an attempt or two to do something new with the choicescript and it feels like pushing a boulder uphill! But I think - progress is being made

---

I’m also getting excited because I’m hoping to see a preview of the wip cover art for Blood this weekend. ( I’m way too dignified to be squealing in anticipation . . . yeah, much too dignified )

[Charles_Parkes]

Wow this week has been tough! It’s been hard to get some time to spend on the Aegis Saga, but a couple of really cool things happened.

1. I got my ending soundtrack!
   Trains, rain – and an awesome song – Charles Parkes

2. And my partner offered to sculpt my spirit animals some time in the future if enough people like The Aegis Saga.

This is ridiculously cool because I don’t think anyone’s ever sculpted an evil water spider
or a jewelled panda !

[Charles_Parkes]

YES!!

New cover art - sooo pleased with Adrienne’s awesome work:

[Charles_Parkes]

Still plugging away! Map sketch (still being developed), spirit animal icons and chapter header images now in the demo.

Demo has also had another proof-read prior to the whole thing going to an editor. Very excited!
