Good Forums / Websites to Promote Game?

Greetings, one and all!

I'm looking for suggestions on good forums / websites where I can promote Sanctuary in Time. With this being a text-driven, adult experience, it tends to fall within a fairly narrow and specific niche. So, it's been challenging to find good places to promote it. Where do you normally go to find out about new text-driven adult games, such as New Life, Sanctuary in Time, Free Cities, Corruption of Champions, etc.?

Additionally, any hang-outs where topics such...

Early Screenshots of New Dark Mode

Hello, one and all!

I've been hard at work on a new (optional) dark interface mode for the game & I've got some early screenshots to share. This is what the new dark mode will look like at present, but I'm looking for feedback to see if people find it readable / pleasant to look at, or if more tweaks need to be made.

Also be aware that the standard light interface mode will also still be available, and players can switch back and forth between them whenever they like.

New Accessibility Features on the Way

Greetings, one and all!

I've received some excellent suggestions from players so far, and I'm currently working on new accessibility features that should be ready for the next content update. One of these is a dark / low-contrast mode for the display of narrative text, which should make playing the game in a darkened room easier on the eyes. More details will be forthcoming when the changelog comes out.

In the meantime, have fun & keep those suggestions coming! I appreciate an...

New Economy Features on the Way

Through playtesting of the Beta build (0.2.9), it's become evident that players need more ways to spend their resources (silver & energy) beyond just upgrading the settlement. This becomes especially important in the End Game, when settlement upgrades may be exhausted (or fewer and farther between).

I've already got some side story events in place that ask the player to donate silver or energy to aid worthy causes, but I think we also need outlets for those resources that are more r...
