Demo?

Post by adherbal »

Is a demo being considered? It seems like it would be fairly simple to do, but I might be missing some obvious difficulties.

Tutorial campaign

+ 1-2 missions from (an)other campaign(s)

+ 1 MP mission that is also present in full version, so Demo can be played in MP with people who own the full game. If the demo people can see all the other challenges but can't play them it should be a good stimulation to upgrade to the full version.

Not sure how much modding should be allowed. I remember when I was active in the Total War community people actualy cracked the demo's encrypted files and created tools to do additional scenarios. Only a few units were available (some of which were not available in the official demo) but it extended the demo a lot and got people into modding. So modding a demo is good, but have to be carefull they can't just turn it into the full game.

We are going to do one but we want it to be very special so will be creating special scenario for it, rather than using existing ones. Not sure of a timeline for this yet though. We could try and tie it in to multiplayer.

New here so hi to all. Seems like a great community and great feedback from devs which is very odd and nice to see. While we wait for a demo, I would like to see some more vidoes of some gameplay. I did see the few you have and whileinteresting i would love to see more. i am a few videos away from purchasing so if possible just a few more minutes of gameplay. Thanks . :)

Its something we want to do but they are time consuming and expensive to produce so we're a little limited.
