Matrix Games Forums

Hi all,

Just to let you know Paul has finished the demo beta and it's out for testing now. Hopefully we can wrap this up soon.

Great news. Looking foreward to it.

Status?

Slight delay our internet set top box blew up yesterday and being a public holiday on Monday they can't replace it till Tuesday. This means Paul, whose taking the lead on the Demo, can't access our server. He needs to do that to wrap up some final touches. Once he does that we need to get Matrix to build the installer and test it. Then it will be made publically available. My guess is another two weeks.

NP, I'll have my copy next week on Father's day. Well I hope I will [;)]

hello, just wondering what's the status on the demo? also do you plan to release the rest of the 4 tutorial videos?  or do they come with the demo.

btw, long time lurker here,( since HTTR , love this war game engine )  finally registered today.

Would be great to play a demo than we can see what all the HUGE fuss is about this game before we shell out our life savings

What ever did happen to the "demo"? Seems to have been forgotten apparently. Well im shelving any desire I might have had to play this game. Elemental will be out soon and hopefully Vainglory of Nations will be out this year as well. Pretty much the only two titles im determined to buy at this point. Good luck one and all with this one. I do also note there seems to be a considerable array of issues posted in the tech support section some of which in thier oversight is actually stunning considering the price, and the hype that surrounded this game. Pity...

Hi,

We have decided to roll the fixes made to the game into the demo, especially the CTD errors that have been fixed, plus the Estab issues that have been identified as well.

I will be putting together the Demo build today and uploading to Matrix so they can create the Demo installer package.

Once thats done we will test it to make sure all is OK, so sometime this week it should be up and ready to download.

thanks for the update paul.

what about the rest of the tutorial videos , are they included in the demo too?

Since the fixes will be placed in the demo this week, does this mean the patch will also be coming out this week for everyone else who has the game?

I hope this also.

Looking forward to the demo too.

I will put money on the fact that the demo will get certain people on here who can wax lyrical about how the game isn't worth the money...sad but true...

I hope it gets more people buying this great game...again I state I feel it's worth the money because of the Est Editor...this will eventually give the game legs...

A demo is just a little taster of what the game offers and more importantly what other scenarios can and will be made for the game.

I´m following topics in this board for some time and am very interested to try the demo. So what will be the limitations of this demo? I guess it will include just one tutorial scenario and won´t have the editors included, right?

80 bucks really isnt that much though. If you save money, you get back what you spent pretty fast.
The only computer games I've seen that cost $80 is this and WITP. I was hesitant at first b/c nobody really wants to spend 80 bucks on a game. IMHO though, they are both worth every cent. Besides, I dont think a company would charge 80 bucks for a crappy, buggy unpolished game.

Yes that's right. The Demo will include the tutorial scenario only and no editors.

We have a few other things on our plate, but we're hoping to finish a release candidate for the demo by the end of this week. If it doesn't go out this week, it should be a definite for next week.
