Where yo demo at?

This will be a short post, but let me get some things out of the way first.

First off, I apologize for posting this so late into the week. I got into a bit of trouble recently and I really wasn't in the mood to do anything.

Secondly, something I neglected to bring up on my last post for some reason; I thank everybody that contacted me both about the spriting job and just motivational e-mails. I really only expected 1 or 2 people to message me about the job, but I somehow got double that. Thanks again guys, you're all my property now =).

Third, if you are a tester, Build 037 will be uploaded within the next few days. If there's any confusion regarding anything please let me know.

And finally, another apology...

On multiple occasions I've promised a playable demo and fell short every single time. I continuously underestimate the amount of time I need to make any progress. Which is weird, considering how long I've been working on this, you'd think I'd know how much time I need. There was also that long very problematic period of time. If you're one of my testers, you know what I'm talking about. The demo will come, definitely, but I can't say when. I really want to give an estimate date but my second most hated thing to do is breaking promises (The first is quitting), so I won't do that. But when it's ready I will definitely say.

The beginning portion of demo level I started that's about a year and a half old now. The final demo level may or may not look the same way but the theme will be the same for the most part.

The engine will be going through a bit more testing, and once all the major bugs are worked out, I will be focusing all my attention to only releasing the demo. That means I won't be adding anything new to the engine for quite sometime, so the posts here will likely get very lackluster. I'm debating if I should post any progress of the demo during that time. I actually kind of want it to be a surprise for when I drop it.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding anything, feel free to post it below.
Take care for now. Thanks for reading.
