I’m not gonna stop you!! Go wild

@FishHead this pending demo is a humdinger of a long boy. once it’s out I’ll be really curious to see how long people take with it. I went through it in 80 mins but I blasted through all the text and talked to no NPCs and didn’t do the relationship quests.

our @LotteMakesStuff spent 2.5 hours. it might be a Very Long Demo!?

Oh man, sounds great! I’ll report back once I’ve played it. And you bet I’ll do the relationship quests.

hmmmmm I forget if I put that in there. honestly I wrote half of this dialog while I had the flu or while doing something else and I go back and look at it and am like “huh!!! I wonder when I wrote that.”

It looks incredible!! So the demo will be ONLY playable in the next steam fest? From what I see is June 10-17.

correct, though it might start showing up a little earlier, depending.

Ahhh damn will miss it then :cry:. I ask from total ignorance and not hating, what is the challenge of leaving the demo on steam or other platforms permanently?

Has anyone said “Demonschool? More like Demo n’ School!” yet? If not, please feel free to use this in your marketing.

Good luck as you wrap up development!

The challenge is that you then wind up having to update a demo with the bugfixes and various issues people fine, alongside updating your main game, because they are essentially different executables. it doubles (or 1.5xes) your work for very little gain. If we had a bunch of time we might try to make the most stable demo in the world and put it out there, but time is something we definitely lack.

Another trailer today!

This one went into IGN Live’s summer game fest preshow, and the chat was full of transphobes, homophobes, pronoun haters, misogynists, ableists, frankly if there was a positive thing you could be mean about, that was happening in there. Certainly felt like a pointless endeavor. honk!!!

Cool trailer, was very nice to see a sort of mini-guide to help out players on how the mechanics work. Could have said spoiler alert though when the weak point appeared, but I did like the delivery on “There it is”!

Hope your next one doesn’t have to deal with the sort of idiots it sounded like you had there.

Are there any plans or discussions to release the soundtrack somewhere? While I’ve not heard a lot of the music so far I’m really enjoying what I have and would like to hear it more!

Yes!!! Can you make us available to listen the full track that you put at the very beginning of each trailer its a cool beat.

Excellent trailers btw… all gameplay, straight to the point. Brief and informative and leaving you eager to play the game

what if you just added like a weird bigot playable character while keeping all the other positive representation? They wouldnt know what to do. You’d have em coming and going. Plus it could = more $$$. I know it’s getting late in development so might be an idea for dlc or the sequel

yeah, there’ll be a soundtrack release! It’s ole kurt feldman again.

@yeso you jest but literally in one of the streams somebody was like “finally, a white protagonist for once.”
