keep it real 
anarchy hobo party is in the works, which i believe will be the first "wacky epic," so be prepared for a new category. but im thinking about a demo that will be normal dink gameplay, like an intro (think back from the grave, before dink dies) this will not be anything like anarchy hobo party main game because thats a suprise for when it comes out. but this will be for story purposes only and a little traditional dink gameplay. this will delay the time it takes for AHP to come out, but it will give you a demo... and AHP wont be out for a while anyway.

No. Get the full thing out ASAP, I say.

I'm inclined to agree.

that is not one of the choices. it would be:

no demo and AHP comes out in a long time.

I'd do a demo, but make it realy playable. Sometimes its the feedback that makes you want to finish big project. ( at least thats how my brain works.)

I said no, get it out ASAP. "ASAP" means "as soon as possible," not "soon."

by the way, that CD rocks; I wanted to send you a... thank-you letter, but I could not find stamps.

I'm sorry I haven't sent you a CD Tal, but I'm really lazy.

I've been having a similar dilemma with my d-mod. Release a demo or not? It's a tricky question, as there is this supposes "curse" that goes with releasing one, that will prevent the game ever being release.
But didn't 2 of the greatest d-mods have demos? "Prophecy of the Ancients" and "Stone of Balance" anyone?

Reviews could drive you on, or ake you not work as hard, depending on how good they are. Beware...

Ultimately : Yes

It's a shame, then, that I don't have many good CDs at all.

But then he may be tempted to... like... steal some food or something. You know, as compensation.

Yes both POTA and SOB had demos. I never played POTA's but SOB's demo was the first story - which was almost a complete Quest sized DMOD in some ways.
