Thanks. Can't post a screenshot even no :-( I'm under an NDA.
Anyway portals: Well the producer is sending this game off to the portals, but I've began contacting portals about my next game. Basically the first bit is to find out who to contact and this can be quite hard at some portals for some reason. Then I've emailed them all to make contact and introduced myself and talked about my previous games. Then of course, if I had a demo I would email them a link and get them to test it. Some portals get back to you quite quickly and others I seem to have to chase over and over (not really very good!) Some portals actually have a game submission form on their site which you have to use. Also bear in mind that some big portals get several submissions per day so your "sales pitch" has to be pretty good. Plus you have to have a finished game, they aren't interested in conecpts or WIP (except for possibly betas). I'm currentl contacting them to see if a) they will distributemy old games and b) if they are interested in my new Holiday Bonus game when it's ready (providing they like the demo of course), and so I'm trying to build up a "contact list" of the correct people to talk to and making sure they also know who I am when I send my HolidayBonus demo in a couple of weeks.
