BETA VERSION RELEASE POLL
🕑 Added 2025-04-22 10:13:23 +0000 UTC
THE QUESTION: what are your thoughts on me doing BETA releases of my future games? Up until now I was always strongly against the idea of releasing a game until it's fully finished, and I still am, to be completely honest with you. But, I am curious to know what percentage of my supporters share that sentiment or would rather have me release games in unfinished (and often unplayable state) while I continue to work towards the final release.
So this is your question, go cast you vote now please.
P.S. Don't worry too much about the outcome of this poll, like I said I just want to know your opinion. Even if the majority will say that I need to release games unfinished, like some other creators do, I'll probably still won't do it. ^_^ Just give me your honest opinion.

Yeah. At the moment I am leaning towards releasing some sort of DEMO version eventually.

Man as always, it depends. Personally I prefer the game to be a complete artistic vision of the creator, however if you want to get feedback on some systems it would be nice to get the community to have a way to play a beta

ok with either. i enjoy shaping the games early.

Good question. One of the reasons is the pure vanity on my part. It's tough to work on something for many month without showing it to anyone and hearing: "Well done, keep going." Another reason is generating more interest in the project. And another more reason is getting feedback while the game is still a work in progress. Although this is not necessarily a good thing and could also backfire, making me doubt my own creative vision. -_-

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and for voting.

Yes to betas. It allows for community feedback while it still has a chance to have an impact.

What would be the goal of the beta release? Would it be to satisfy our curiosity? Or to get early specific feedback to help you make design decisions?
