I want to thank everyone who has downloaded the demo for Rise of Legends. We really appreciate the time everyone has taken to play the demo and post feedback on their impressions. We are aware of a number of issues with the current build of the demo, including problems with crashes, AI, and performance.
In retrospect, Big Huge was over-optimistic about the quality of the build. We allowed our excitement to get the build into the hands of gamers to override our concerns with shipping a demo made from unfinished, pre-release code, and I regret any inconvenience that resulted. I'm posting a similar message to other discussion boards where people have reported problems.
In the future, we will be more careful to be sure our demo releases are more representative of the final game. It's great that most people are having a good time with the build even in its unpolished state, and please keep sending us both positive and negative feedback so we can make this game even better.
We are looking forward to getting a new demo out to the community so they can get a taste of Rise of Legends in its final state. The next version of the demo will be based on final code, have new content to check out, and will be out before the game is released.
Thanks for all your support, feedback, and encouragement!
(And NO thanks to One Dead Angel for the heart attack I nearly experienced on seeing his April Fool's claim that he had modded the Cuotl into the demo...)
