Alright, I'll be 100% honest, this thing is next to unplayable, somewhere along the lines, I introduced several new glitches, which I'm at a loss to fix, you can't look at what your abilities are in battle (from the scroll down sheet of classes) one scenario (which worked perfectly a while back) with the ambushing Traveler, in the Mandalia Plains now freezes the game, along with checking the Unit List in battle. Oy, so many problems sprung relatively out of nowhere...  but if you fellows still want me to release it, then feel free to ask.

I think would personally prefer you to take your time.

However, more information is needed. For instance, with the regards to the demo that you had planned to release, what exactly did you want "completed" by the time it came out?
"Sorrow cannot be abolished. It is meaningless to try." - FFX's Yunalesca

"Good and evil are relative, but being a dick cannot be allowed." - Oglaf's Thaumaturge in "The Abyss"

I think you should hold of until it's playable or you might get n00bs who "can't figure it out". Even if you tell them it does'nt work they will complain anyways so why not wait until the bugs are worked out.

I say to hell with the demo, dont feel rushed. Just release the game when its ready. IMO. Though I'd still try it out in its current state, but you wont be hearing me complain about the shit.

Well, I had hoped mainly that my events would be working right, along with all the game freezing glitches, but alas...I lost Mandalia Plains somewhere along the lines so I had to redo that, (I like the new lines better anyhow), but I lost the methods of making an ambushing unit which would have been the unique choice of choosing to save Lavian, as it stands, choosing that option new freezes the game. When a unit tries to attack. Really as it stands this Demo would only be good for the script. The classes are far from prepared. Hymns, work perfectly, Traveler's done, Knight's not... very different... oh if only I had that formuls, I'd be feeling much more confident, eh well.

Just hold off for now, there isn't much point in having a demo that can't demonstrate anything. Take your time and get it to where you're satisfied with the finished product, then release something. :wink:

I was hoping for either one but when he said it wasn't playable I figured it'd be best to wait. In 1.3's case, I did a poll too but the majority voted to wait so... yeah  :?

I just don't see the point in playing a demo that is "unplayable" in his eyes. You dig? >_>

I see the point because of fact that he can give like 3 fights that won't tell storyline alot.
Like that in Arch's video the battle where Ramza is on tournament.

Quote from: "darthpaul"Wow 20 "Take your times" to only 3 "Give it to me's".

if the editor himself says it's not worth playing it in current state I'd take his word for it
