I've recently noticed that "Unfinished Demos" are a thing now.

[Read the article before voting!]


MountBound did one.

Rotten Shards did one.

Project: TYRANT sorta did one, but it was a joke.

So I was thinking, should The Flipside do one as well? Here's my reasoning:

The content of the demo is nearly done. I just need to finish up Shadow City. And the only thing that IS missing is the OST, which is going to take a while for reasons that are none of your business. So would you guys be interested in that? Or should I just wait until it's fully done?

I worry that if I release an unfinished demo, people will ignore the "unfinished" part and judge it purely off of it's unfinished state.

It'd also help me to see if the game is worth going forward with-

No. Even if I get feedback like Lucid, I'll still make this game because the people who might hate it can go suck a lemon.

What I have is good. No, I'm not coping. (i think)

In any case, which do you think I should do?

  • Wait until the demo is done fully.

  • Release once the main content is complete!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."
