What is it about Demo and Full Version size?
Many beginning developers make the mistake of thinking that people will pay for the entire game (full plus demo version), since that entire game will often have about the same size as commercial games that don’t offer a demo. Of course this thinking is flawed. Since the customer already has the demo, he or she will only pay for the DIFFERENCE between demo and full version, and will not care at all about how large or good the demo has been. The demo is already consumed; it can’t be sold anymore. Of course this will force you to make your game bigger than a commercial game that goes without a demo; but, again, that’s life. Best solution is probably to keep as much game out of the demo as possible; reserve all goodies for the full version.
