The reaction we have when you update the game : :shibe:
Ohh, now you're just being too kind xP
Dropping by in my unceremoniously busy time of the year to say that the Patreon count is up to three.
Totally not me in that count, but it's a good thing to see regardless. #PoorInternetUser #FirstWorldProblems

Hey all you depraved ones 
I could use your help testing something out for me, something new to the game. See if you can figure it out and then tell if it's self explanatory enough or it was too hard and needs further polish.

I'm actually surprised this hasn't gotten more attention. How much have you been advertising the game?
Thanks Karuna, it's much appreciated
Well I advertised it on here and on my FA. Other than that, probably not enough. I don't know if it's a failure, but even if it were to be a failure on my part, then there's something good in that. You can learn from failure, look at what one did wrong and let that new perspective strengthen your future decisions
That's what I intend to do. Every misstep and wronging I do shall only help this project become better!
If you don't mind, some of us also visit other forums and can help spread the word for you. We can link to to your patreon in many cases and in some forums, we can link to whichever main forum you'd pick whether it be here or at FA. If we can get that info, we can go and start posts at the other forums and gain you a lot more attention.. I know of a few with several thousand active members each.

It's also worthwhile to look at other projects and see how they got successful. Eldet, Blackgate, and Seeds of Chaos (which is also on this forum) all had/have reasonably successful crowdfunding campaigns. There should be meaningful strategies and tips to pull from them. I'm sure there are plenty of other good examples, but @TheDarkMaster is probably a better source of info on non-M/M projects that I will ever be.
I asked because I've seen a lot of games with a lot less content than Valor and Glory, that have been around for less time, get a lot of support on Patreon.
I certainly wouldn't deny an outstretched hand (or paw) to help me climb out of obscurity. I'm not very skilled in prowling forums and promoting my lovechild game, neither does RL work leave much time for it. A small nod or mention every now again would be lovely. Actually, I think the game might have enough content for me to brave asking to be featured on the index of games in development. One moment... (tippy toes off)
I've looked at the ones you've mention, and I must say that they have some really delicious products. Blackgate and Seeds of chaos: I understand people why love them. A second thing is that their patron pages is kicking mines bum xP I could really stand to improve it. Mainly the top banner I think, like changing for some action packed drawing of the main character battling off a wave of horny ratlings and brownies, ohoho
I played with the thought of buying some banner space on FA or F-list maybe, but I'm not sure the content amount is right for that yet, so I'll likely wait with that.
Really? Well now I just feel sad :C

I think the main problem is that people just don't know about it. Most of those games are posted all over the place and some people really aggressively advertise their games. Most of the forums I frequent have threads for all those games and I also see threads from time to time on reddit for them too. I have a few threads for my games, but am somewhat hesitant to post too much since I have a harder time getting people really interested without artwork and I really want to time my first post right. The other option is to get a shout out from a person with a big audience like Fenoxo, but that's mostly on chance.
Yeah, if you can get popular association with another project, people who backed it are much more likely to back yours as well. That said, getting the other creator to endorse you is the real trick since you're not only their colleague, but also their competition.
Oh, and don't feel too bad, @Leopold visette; Name recognition and advertising are usually how those underdeveloped projects get off the ground. For example, regardless of whether you idolize him, hate him, or fall somewhere in between, chances are that if you're into this sort of entertainment, you've heard of S-Purple at least once, and that notoriety makes it much easier for him to get starting capital for his new project. It's the same way Star Citizen got it's first $20 million. Chris Roberts was famous, and people had loyalty to his previous games.

I don't know a lot of places one could promote their game besides here, and getting a shout out from someone like Fenoxo would likely cause me to faint.
So my way forward is promoting it. I guess I can save up a little and make a flash banner in hope of some more renown.
Here are a few sites that I know of off the top of my head that would probably make sense to start a thread on:
http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/index.php - Lots of different porn games on here. They tend to prefer stuff with images in them, but I haven't been there in awhile.
https://www.futanaripalace.com/ - Site mainly focused on futa stuff, but there's also a lot of general porn games shared as well. Slave Maker 3 started here, as did Fenoxo's early work.
https://legendofkrystal.com/forum/index.php?cache=1 - A bit notorious this place, since it's focused on furry content and a lot of games developed there are built on very similar templates. Notably Breeding Season originated on that site.
https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFWgaming - Subreddit for adult games. Best subreddit to start with for a game like this.
http://www.4chan.org/ - Some of the boards are appropriate places to share porn games, but I think it would be best to save this one for later. Especially since 4chan has a history of disliking furries.
I know of several other sites as well, but they tend to be more focused on specific content that Valor and Glory doesn't feature. So it probably isn't worth it.
Game version 0.0.2f - 16/10/2016
New features:
- We've got our first puzzle in the game!!! Yay! Arriving in the farmlands, walk two tiles east and find a scene.
- The first healing spell, Mend, is in the game.
- New Player victory scene against the moohmin. Works for M/F & F/F
- The first patreon poll item is added to the game: the faeblade! For now you can buy it from Smiggins. (Its stats also got boosted a bit)
- It had never hit me before but your character starts out nude :I I've made it so new characters have some shitty starting clothes, for RPG reasons!
Fixes:
- Fixed a bug when creating a new character after losing to the spider boss, the new game encounter would skip the fight.
Notes:
- Next scene to be added is M/M
- Reporting bugs makes me squee of joy. Especially if related to the puzzle or new spell.

Found some smallpeens uploading your stuff. http://svscomics.org/download/357998/valor-and-glory-version-002f
No words. Only the thought that the idiot who did it gets face-fucked too hard and loses some teeth tonight.
The Patreon grows. Maybe all that funding can get you motivated and we can reach the place where I wrote that one scene for :^)

Yeah. This game is free and it's hosted on full speed sites.
That dork took that and put it up on a slow ass site unless you pay for membership of which he gets a cut of the pie. He's making money of a free game and if people don't know any better, they're helping this guy get money. That's why I put info on there redirecting them to the Valor and Glory site. That usually lowers their traffic only if the people coming across take the time to read the comments at the bottom.
If you're gonna be a pirate, why not set it up so you can make it a free highspeed download with a link to Leopold's site? The people coming across that will thank you because if they had any questions or got stuck, you've just told them "go here and he will help you!"
