Re: Golden Demos and such...
a really big company with marketing people would release a demo before the game.
A small company tends to keep the programmers working on the 400 things can still be improved. THEN chop out a few parts to release the demo. The problem is that when programmers make decisions they will wait till the game is done before cutting out a demo.
Even worse, Illwinter has us! These forums. Unless we all shut up and stop giving such good ideas to the programmers IT WILL NEVER BE DONE ENOUGH TO DEMO. It will be... "well then things slow down enough for one of us to have some free time then we will cut a demo"
(about that shut up part... Im really only half serious)
