New gaming sites....

[BasiliskWrangler]

Fans of Eschalon-

As we enter into the final few months of Book 2 development, we are looking to expand coverage to additional gaming sites. Right now we get coverage from RPGWatch and GameBanshee, and some from RPGCodex and Blues News. There are a handful of quality Mac and Linux sites that run most of our news bits as well.

So, my question is: what additional gaming sites do you regularly visit that we might be able to add to our contact list? Did you discover Eschalon through a gaming site, blog or community that we should know about? If you have any suggestions, please list them here or send us an email.

Thanks!

-Steam. lol.

-You can provide maybe a..'preorder' kinda thing. And they will get your name out a month before release or whatever.

-Also they can place it in the news feed. blahblahblah.

-I find most of my games through steam news on releases and such.

This site is great. It's how I found out about such titles as EB1, Age of Decadence and Mount & Blade. All games I would have never heard of.

I visit 'Versiontracker' (has PC & Mac listings) and MacUpdate. The latter I saw Escalon mentioned after I had already gotten it (not to mention beta testing ) Never did see it on Versiontracker.

I found Escalon by searching Yahoo for 'Macintosh rpg turn-based games'. Came in on it before it was still in the alpha stage. It was exciting to see it unfold.

Searching google or Yahoo is how I find many of my games in their early stages.

I found Exchalon through a (favourable) review in MacWorld. Have more or less given up looking at sites that are specifically for games because there are so few for Mac OSX

I found it on http://www.macgamefiles.com . I thought it had an interesting title (rpg-like), contrarily to the mass of "casual" games. All the reviews were favorable (5/5) and the screenshot was nice, so I tried it, and of course it was awsome!

The simple fact that it has "Book 1" hooks you on as it indicates more/future content. Had it been just "Eschalon" it might not of caught my eye.

I'll be happy to feature it on my site when it is released, along side Book 1.

I've generated some Book 1 sales for you, so I know some of my customers are interested. I can feature it on my blog and in my monthly newsletter. I'll probably write a full game review also.

Make sure you post an announcement on the IndieGamer forums. There are a bunch of Indie RPG developers there who will probably affiliate your game and get it in front of their customers.

Jayisgames is another one

It's more of a hardware site, but I'm pretty sure I heard about Book 1 on the www.hardocp.com forums. The only other video game-related sites I visit on a regular basis are Giantbomb.com and penny-arcade.com

Never go on gaming Sites and I found Basilisk Games through Google back who knows when

[King_ov_Death]

I found EB1 a couple of years ago in the BlitzBasic official site...

About the sites, try contacting Gamespot. I visit it often, I even did some reviews.
