Unlocked, cracked and whatever demo versions

[Slavic Magic]

Thank you for respecting my decision to lock the demo for now. I did not put extra measures into 'protecting' it - I thought it will in the end only harm people who enjoy it the way it's been intended.

I want to work in peace. I don't want to worry about outdated builds flying out there, people complaining about bugs that I might have already fixed and anything else. I want to work at my own pace and present you with a new version that I'm happy with, when it's ready.

I will be deleting all the info to how to play outside the locked time-frame/download the demo from non-Steam sources etc. and I appreciate all the people who respect my decision and work as a developer.

I totally understand and respect your decision. And I wonder if you were aware how much we all would love your game before you let us play the demo ;)

Thanks for that! There was always far more support than I ever expected, but there's always fear of showing your creation to the world, fear of disappointing people, especailly since the game is not yet finished. So I'm very happy that it was fun enough to overlook the imperfections for now.

I thoroughly enjoyed the demo! I cannot wait for the real game! Keep up the good work!!

[Goodvybe]

This is the way. You got a lot of impressions the last days, enough i bet.
I'm excited to see the future changes :)

Thank you for letting us take a peek into the beautiful medieval world you are creating – and have a lot of fun too. Now we wait patiently and keep our fingers crossed while you do your Slavic Magic :).

To me, the game was especially relaxing in the last few days (and still), I loved playing in the normal speed even 10+ hours in one session. The atmosphere was so relaxing, it gave me mentally strength when being stressed.
I totally (even as a modder, not a game dev) understand the pressure and the different expectations from a dev perspective and which words could end up differently, so that you decided to make it time limited on steam.
Then again, many would love it and it is such a peaceful experience to me (like a therapy), so that extending the time for its official access would've been even more outstanding and loved.

All in all, looking forward to it. Thank you.

I live the game so much so far. I am very saddened that I cant play the demo anymore but I understand your POV so much and my highest respect for your work and decision. We can't wait for the game to be finished and trust you'll have put all your heart and hard work in creating a masterpiece!

Thanks for giving us a taste of your game, it look really good. I will purchase it as soon as it's available on steam.
Thanks again and take your time to make the game as you like it to be. Even if an early access would sounds great to me. ;)

Darn, I only became aware of your great game yesterday and was only able to play it for three hours.
I spent the whole day at work looking forward to playing a round tonight... :/

As a software developer, I can understand your decision very well. Your own healthy pace is the key to success.

In the meantime, we have no choice but to wait eagerly for the release.
I was absolutely convinced by the few minutes of your demo!

[Rasmus]

Very unhappy you pulled demo

[bc02]

The demo was fantastic, wouldn't want to rush things if you feel the game isn't finished, though we are all eagerly waiting for release!

[Here to build]

The demo is awesome. Good luck with development!

Incredible work on the demo. Was only able to get in a few hours, but it's clear you have a great vision and the skillset to bring it to life. Congrats again, looking forward to the release!

The demo was very impressive. It's probably unavoidable to get a ton of "are we there yet?"-questions when people get exited. Don't worry about that, just work on your own pace.

If the feedback side of things gets overwhelming, there is probably a lot of people in community who could be moderators or to help sorting it out.
