  • Demo?

    Someone said a while back that a demo is coming. The site says nothing about it- anyone have any new info?

    I did not try it but the SDC shows one for downloading.

      Sorry if I'm being totally daft, but I can't find it anywhere. Could you point me to a link or something please?

        Quoting the forums at www.galciv.com:

        There will be a demo of GalCiv but not until mid April. It's going to take some work to do it because we want to get the file size down to something manageable without it detracting too much from the game.

        GalCiv is around 600 megs. Even getting it to 200 megs will take work and we want to get the demo down to 50 megs. Right now our development resources are focused on people who have already bought the game. But the demo should be done in a couple of weeks.

        =====

        So, there is no demo yet, but it should be coming around mid-april. (And in case somebody doesn't know, Frogboy = Brad Wardell = GalCiv's lead designer, so that's fairly official posts )

          Pardon me as I no longer see that entry, either I was dreaming or it was a place holder and has been deleted.

              waiting for the demo it is then. i won't be able to play heavily until my exams are over in early may, so it's just as well. and maybe the price will drop by then too.

                  After the MOO3 experience I won't even consider this game until after I try a demo.

                      Got it. Its more of a data patch (like a mod) than a code patch which will be later.
