[quote who="Zubaz" reply="10" id="2139461"]If a developer makes a demo it takes time aaway from the main game. By doing the demo after release the customers that pre-ordered or bought at retail get the best experience. Those folks that aren't sure will get teh demo later. They get the benefit of the previous customer feedback and then get the demo. Without a pre-release or on release demo . . a few early sales may be lost . . but not having a demo does not make th

Reply to Voice Comms? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'd suggest checking out EVE Online (seeing how/what they have done), I just used there in-game voice chat for the first time and was amazed at the clarity. Steams voice chat leaves little to be desired (bad voice quality). So I hope you guys do better.

[quote who="TotalBiscuit" reply="11" id="2138417"] Quoting Jaradakar, reply 10 DotA, I hate neutral creeps (hated in War3, then again I overall hated WAR3). To me DotA is an "okay mod" one that saved WAR3 from failure. Your subjective opinion has no bearing on whether or not Warcraft 3 was an objectively good title. To somehow claim that WAR3 would have failed were it not for DoTA is an outlandish and terrible inaccurate claim with no basis in fact. Warcraft 3 was

Reply to Only 7 arenas? in Demigod Demigod Forums

I'd rather have 8 good maps, than 20-30 mediocre maps. I think board games and DotA are proof that complexity and depth are not derived soly from the map/game board. (In the case from Demigod, I comes from the depth of the skill trees, the gear and of course play skill (micro))

[quote who="mewz" reply="14" id="2135412"] Quoting Peace Phoenix, reply 9 I don't think that Gamestop and Stardock are partners. As they are both selling Demigod, they are competitors. lol are you kiding me with this? Stardock affiliates with resellers to do same what stardock does, sell the game. Gamestop gets their share of money for every piece sold(much much less then stardock). Gosh i cant believe i am talking about the most basic things of selling of almost any

[quote quoting="post"] Well, as the title of the post suggests I have just very recently started looking at the game. I've been looking for a good game to start playing and since the game is coming out in under 4 days, I thought I would look at this game more closely. Well anyways, I thought I would ask a couple of questions. First of all, I'm a hardcore gamer. When I play a game, I really need to get into it. In particular, I'm an RTS/MMORPG gamer, so do you think this game

Sounds like those stores are all breaking street date. It's not uncommon for stores to get the product prior to the stree date. This allows them to start selling day 1 without having to wait for a shipment to arrive. BUT... they're suppose to put the product in the back and NOT SELL it. Often times, if some breakes stree date, they as a company get fined $$$ and it opens the flood gates for everyone to be able to get it sooner... Will see i

yeah IMO it's sort of bad that impulse is fashing and saying "hey, you need to update Demigod" and then when you do, you can't and it wants registration information.

Reply to Basic Question in Demigod Demigod Forums

I suspect it's a big issue: Art, Animation, Effects, Balance. It's much easier to create fewer demigods... The reality is time = money. To get the art, animaiton, effects and balance done = Time. If it does well, I'm sure more Demigods will be added. Like the poster above, I'm not that worried about multiple characters. In diablo did it bother you that someone else was playing the sorceress as well as you? It never bothered me... (Gran
