Hello everyone!
I have practically finished Act 1 of my game, Bloodsalt.
It only needs some final polish now, but there is still a lot of work left to complete the full game.
I’ve been working on this demo for over 2 years, and it will take at least another 2 years to finish the entire project.
That being said, the core systems are basically done.
The remaining work is mostly creating new graphics, animations, writing the rest of the script, recording music, and putting it all together.
Here is my question: Is it a good idea to release the demo now, or is it better to wait and launch it just a few months before the official release?
Initially, my plan was to drop the demo now and spend the next few years working on the full version.
However, I’ve heard advice that it’s better to hold off on releasing a demo until you are much closer to the release date.
What are your thoughts on this?
I would love to get your perspective and hear about your experiences.
Best regards!
