Default Re: Concerns about lack of Tutorial and Price of Game

The only part about the demo I did not like was the 40_day limitation. There have been some games in the past that I did not purchase because I felt I didn't get to playtest enough of the game.

No one was pressed to put the game out. The demo documentation was just overlooked when the demo was put out, we have a new one in the works.

And our games are all over the warez scene, trust me I know that. We do have to balance how much we give away, because what stops the pirates is having to buy the game to get the manual.

But like I said a new demo is forthcoming in the future.

Im sorry. I didnt really mean that in a bad way. Programmers tend to never feel like their project is "done" enough to let go of it. Especially in something like this game. Someone off to the side usually has to press for a release. Ive been in that position, both as presser and as pressee.

Thanks to all who responded for help with the Demo, I see there is a new Sticky FAQ up.
