Our philosiphy is we want the demo to be code-wise just like the final game so you get a 100% guarantee that the game will play like the demo does. Major publishers can't always publish it.

Also we have a much longer shelf life cycle. Major publishers have to sell their games in the first few months or they loose their shirt. In our case our sales don't even start to peak until at least 6 months in a release. Sometimes longer.
Since you put it like that, it does make sense. It did seem that SEIV Gold became more and more popular as time went by, just from what I was able to tell from the forum Boards. Let's hope that PC Gamer or some other company does an early review so more people will find out about it as soon as possible.

The demo has just been recieved by us testers, so it shouldn't be much longer for you guys. Aaron just wants to make sure any little bugs and errors are squished! After all, he did make a new mini-campaign for the demo!

This was a song I sang with the late Johnny Cash some time ago...
*guitar srings*

"I hurt myself today to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain that the demo not quite here
The Abbidon tears a hole in a old familiar ship
try to kill them away what have I become?
my sweetest friend Aaron I know goes away in the end
give me a demo before my empire turns to dirt
Don't let me down
Don't make me hurt
I wear this crown of pain on my captain's chair
Full of broken hearts I cannot repair
beneath the stain of armor the love dissappears
I am still right here where is my demo?
Don't let me down
Don't make me hurt"

Thank you Johnny Cash 1932-2003
