Things have been getting tough lately, and the demo is due out tomorrow. Sure, i could release it, but it'd have bugs/flaws, uncomplete areas and the usual that a rushed thing has. After Friday, it's the holidays for me and i'd have a whole week till the next Friday to finish it, so....

Should i delay for a week for a way better version, or release a rushed buggy version on late Friday/Saturday?

Delay it, its not worth having a demo out if it has bugs in it or some thing, and if you had anouther week you could greatly improve it.

you could just release it now and then finnish it later and release again and call it v.2

Yes, but releasing it early could make the second version not as enjoyable. Think about it, people would have played v1, known the basic goal, and wouldn't like v2 as much.

Anyway, it's the votes that count, and i haven't set an official poll lock, but in a couple of hours it will end, so place your votes now.



ps. Why hasn't anyone checked out the screenshots i posted op my other thread...? A forgotten thread?

Things are getting a little tough lately. The Grunt AI is peeing me off, and making the animation is tough, but it should be in order for this upcoming Friday (My announced date)

spartan, heres a tip: never announce dates that arent subject to change; setting down the dates in far too advance is like condeming urself... :(

just do what Bungie does; be flexible on ur release dates and you will prosper in life!!! :D

You should give a exact release date when you are finished to give anticipation.
