This has been bugging me for a long time, considering I'm almost ready to release another demo of my YI hack (halfway done now)

I'm not sure if I should release it or not though...there has been a lot of praise about it (no I'm not bragging, I'm stating) but if I do release it, I would need a lot of feedback and advice for the last 3 worlds.

I don't know what I should do. If I get a fair amount of votes/comments, I will.

I know if it was me working on this hack, I wouldn't release another demo. Besides the fact I don't like demos much, if at all, one demo would be plenty.

It's better just to finish your hack than making another demo. If you did release the demo, people will be tired of the first three worlds by the time you release the hack.

Just keep the demos through PMs incase people want to play it that badly. I'll be waiting for the full version.

I hate demos, especially when people put out demo after demo. If you want feedback select a few close friends and give them a beta, have them help you find problems, rather than releasing an unfinished hack to the public.

Plus, you should let us beta test before the completed release for any bugs, glitches, etc.

Hello,
I'm not sure if you should release a demo,but it depends if you get a lot of feedback,I guess. Maybe you should do up to the end of World 4 and see what people think of it.

I could do it. You already know what I'm capable of from your previous demo. Oh, and its best to finish your hack before you release another demo. Three worlds is a little too..."complete" in my opinion (even if it's only halfway done).

Yeah, thats what I was confused at. Didn't know whether I should release the demo or not I finally decided to go with not releasing it though, and just let anyone who wants to play, PM me.

Oh yes please I guess you're right about the halfway done thing. That's still a big chunk of my hack.

Well, I've already gotten about 3 PMs about beta testers. I'll try to take in about 1 or 2 more, then that should be plenty. To the people I've already replied to: the IPS will be sent within the next couple of days, as I am clearing out the obvious bugs before you guys delve into the harder-to-notice ones

I dunno. Demos barely get feedback, is all, and the real reason we're all on this forum is to hack games and then show off.

As I've learned the hard way, middle-of-a-world Demos get very bad feedback. Complete World 3 or something, and then don't release it again (except for a few beta testers, maybe) until you're done.

A demo at half completion and then the final.

What I meant to say was if you're not sure what kind of feedback you'll get,do like 2 or 3 more worlds maybe and then release it.

Oh,and I PMed you about being a tester,but I got a message that Acmlm went down so I wasnt sure if you got it. Well,keep up the good work though. You've progressed pretty far, I think.

If you want, I can beta test it for you, since you tested my game a while ago, and I love the original YI game and other YI hacks, and I have plenty of time on my hands now since my classes are over.

Ah, I get you now. But then, if I DO release it that late, that would be like 5 worlds done. That would be the majority of the hack completed

That would be great I appreciate it

Alright, so I have all my beta testers I need then. I will send you all of my hack up to world 3 within a few days, so keep your eyes peeled, and thanks again
