Is there going to be a demo? Not sure if that's been asked yet. It isn't too important to me (I pre-ordered already), but it's definitely relevant to the thread.

If there is a demo, I doubt it'll be out until the game is completed. Which might be many months ... no idea. I'm sure there'll be lots of impressions once the alpha is released. I'll be listing my thoughts, for sure!

A demo is a really powerful way to get sales.

Just look at the story of the iPhone app "iShoot", nearly half a million sales overnight (ok, over a month) right after releasing a demo, but months earlier barely a few hundred.

The sound... oh the sound is amazing. Might have sold me just off that "put...put...put..." handgun sound you've got in there.

Glad you like it! I'll pass that along to Matthew the Sound Guy

Exactly right for the demo - once it's just about feature complete.  Looking forward to finally getting some real-life feedback.

No argument here Will definitely have it later on.

Excellent! I think that's a great move, one that I hope pays off. This will make a lot of people watching this topic happy.

I actually had a brainfart and meant alpha and the feedback it gets (even if it might be a little fanboy heavy first) and so forth. However, yes, demo is always a great way to get more sales. Especially for a game with little marketing budget, when you can spread the demo everywhere.

Guess the alpha better come out in April like I said a few posts ago, then

So it's april... where are the goods mister!

/hissyfit (<insert comments with lots of CAPS>)

Just to keep up appearances and all that as a starting fan community... They ole back and forth, you guys mention a date (month), we have hissy fits. Just to get the ball rolling

[inteuniso]

Wait... DF2010 came out today last year. Starfarer should come out TODAY.

He said before the end of April, if I recall correctly. Alexm still has 30 days time to deliver.

I like the cut of your jib.

I'm betting (or am I?) that we'll see something around the second week of April. I have no evidence to back that up. Hope you guys are having a pleasant and entertaining April 1st!

[alexm]

The clock, it's ticking. Aaaah!

Hissy fit duly noted. <insert canned response thanking community for their patience, something about our commitment to quality, etc etc, ending with something implying that "it'll ship when it's ready and we have no clue when that is" without actually saying so>. So pretty much any Valve or Blizzard press release.

This game looks sexy as fuck and if Rock Paper Shotgun don't know about it yet then they should.

Laughin'.

Great idea. RPS is one of the few gaming sites I visit, they love independent games there. Might be cool to throw them an invite to the Alpha ... or at least send them a message when the release is ready. Check out the "Hey, developers!" link.

Starfarer progress:



I can sense it ... just a couple weeks maybe?

[Lethal Dosage]

You may or may not be correct.

Bleh, thought that buying a 360 and a bunch of games I have been wanting for it would help ease my mind on all of the games I want not being out yet (top of the list, Starfarer and Portal 2...). My fiancée is playing the 360 most of the time, thus, leaving me to sit here and wait...
