Should we work on a new demo around the summer at the same time as the trailer?

we have already discussed this in other threads, but I can see this thread still having use.

We should have a new demo asap. But some people are not in favor of it.

Blargh stop giving away things in public >.<

Yes we're considering a new demo, but I think that some people need to understand we can't just keep releasing demos and expect it to magically make us a great project. I said to MrRean on the irc that a demo is like a promise. I can see Planet Plains because it showed people what we can do. It also got us some attention. Man, there were articles written about us!

BUT... a demo without any progress or any signs of progress is an EMPTY promise. We got people hyped, now we have to satisfy that hype. I personally don't think we should even THINK about our next demo until we get into a groove that proves to be successful. Guess how many galaxies we have done: A BIG FAT ZERO. We have one that is almost done, but it's been sitting untextured for months. We finally have someone that is working on that, but nothing else is being done. At the moment, the only galaxy I can even see being finished EVER is RHP, so if we want to finish this game, we need to step up. Let's get a fully functioning team together, set up a reasonable and effective pace, and then we can worry about silly little demos. Hey, if we set a pace quickly, we may even be able to work on a demo in the summer, but now? No.

All this talk was public anyway... so blarg.

And we should only have one demo period this year. And should be Bob-Omb Battlefield

Forget the demo. We have a project. Let's do that. It needs work.

I disagree.

Not everybody needs to work on the demo. Only about 5 staff members. For the music, level creation, and modeling. Maybe even less.

If its going to be Bobomb battlefield, we can just reuse SMG2's track

Only about 5 staff members.


WE BARELY HAVE 5 STAFF MEMBERS.

Am I seriously the only one who sees how a demo before we finish anything is an empty promise?

No, but that's what's holding us back. If we don't do this we'll never do ANYTHING worthwhile. I can see where this project is going and it isn't good. We've got to stop acting passive-aggressive and start fucking doing something, even if it is a shitty demo. Just please.
Status: It was really, really fun, guys - thanks for the ride!

Sorry if I am sounding like someone who is important and a moderator, but I suggest that this type of talk should be hidden from the public. Despite being a member of Super Mario Galaxy 2.5, I am part of the public and I should not even be allowed to view this type of talk since I do not have permission to view stuff like this.

Again, I apologize if I sound important and authoritive. I justcwant to remain as humble as the general public in these type of discussions, like most of this site's members and guests. Glem3, Cosmological, and Mega-Mario are way more important than me in these discussions.

This post is only a suggestion and is not meant to be taken as an order.

Making stuff like that staff wouldn't be very helpful. Maybe if we had a lot more new members, but as of now, it'll just halve the contributing members on some particular project.
I totally agree with Stygmax. Everybody thinks the project is dead. Most of the popularity was about the demo, and it's faded. A quick demo would help spread the word...
I've mentioned this a few times, but would a boss rush work as part of a/a new demo...? Depends on whether it's difficult to make bosses spawn Launch Stars...but if it isn't, then a few touchups to the arenas and a small healing area and it's ready to roll. Depends, though...

Fine, but IF you want to release the demo in the summer than we have to get in a groove before then. Like, by the end of this month

A demo could have more know us. Nobody knowing us = no members = very slow work. Like I said in another thread, the only reason I ever knew about this is because of Mario Party Legacy making an artical about the demo and trailers.

anyways, blarg. Let's leave this thread to the final decision, and then I CAN make a new thread in exclusive.

agreed. Not trying to backseat mod, but this does belong in the exclusive forum.

Well the final choice is no demo until 5 galaxies are done.



There.

Thread being closed, for there is a new one opening somewhere else, and the choice is made.
