Misleading screenshots
I downloaded the demo and it doesnt look anything like the screenshots. I am on my mobile data and i was looking for a small free game to pass time and now I wasted 1gig of data... Thanks dev..

I checked some of the old videos of game on youtube and those looks way better just like the screenshots is this another "the day before" lol?

Screenshots should be removed this is literally misleading

Also sound is completely broken? such a waster of time

A demo is not a free game, it's a demonstration of a game. The screenshots represent the grander picture of the game and a demo obviously does not include an entire game in it. There's nothing wrong with screenshots on a store page showing things that aren't part of a free demo of the game. Your expectations are extremely warped.

if you've been following the games development you'd know that this demo is a test of the godot port that happened after unity introduced their download tax. So ofcourse this version focused on the raw mechanics being redone in a completely different engine. All of the old content was built on unity and the tools exclusive to it/not present in godot.
They were and still are a work in progress. The dev will most definitely focus on the visual aspects alongside with other stuff that was present in the unity version after this release.
There is no point in pushing out a massive update with new content that wasn't there before if the port is not of quality and the people do not like it.
After all. This is still a DEMO

If you are looking for a free small Game you shouldn't download a Demo. With limited GB / Month every Demo is just a waste of Data, because of the lack of replayability and Playtime.

This specific Demo is still just a proof of Concept for the Engine switch. The Screenshots aren't misleading because (except of some Shaders / Color corrections) it's exactly the same.

The Trailers / Screenshots are for Demo 2. Demo 2 was already ready but a few Days before Release Unity did what Unity did. Everything you see there will be back in Demo 2.

TDB never had Free Demos or Betatests. They advertised a Game that was never going to happen and sold it to a huge Audience without any Player Feedback. You Guys should be careful what you call TDB because Antti is one of the most / if not the most transparent developer. You can check every Step he is doing and really nobody can do anything for you if you waste your Data without checking out the Development. Google would saved you a lot.

Are you guys being serious right now? A demo is a DEMONSTRATION of a full game. Now please tell me the screenshots and the demo look similar. They DONT and that is misleading.

If the game switched engines than they HAVE TO switch screenshots aswell because not every game engine will provide the same quality. A game made in unreal will look very different than a game made in UNREAL!

ever heard of Tech Demos? One google Search would show you that the Game is still very early in Development and that this Demo is just a proof of Concept.

yes and no. Engines are still just a Toolbox. What do you think is going to happen? It is still the same Artstyle. Once the SINGLE Dev have enough time to tweak some Settings it will almost look identical. Saying that one Engine can't look like another proofs that you have no clue about Game Development. Everything Unity can do is also possible in every other Engine, you just have to create the Tool yourself.

Dev portet the Demo in 3 Months all alone, how excatly should there be time to code Costum Shader Plugins? ofc the Game will look a little bit different but not as much to make a big 1GB Drama.

Don't know where are you coming from but in most countrys we also have unlimited Internet Sim-Cards for Mobile too.

Are you seriously telling me that quality of screenshots and demo match EXACTLY?
Also I am working on a remote village. I don't have cable internet. So brave of you for making fun of me by calling it "1gb drama" wow :) You dont know what people go through and how hard life could get sometimes.

I'm telling you that you didn't read correctly

ONCE the SINGLE Dev have enough time to tweak some Settings it will ALMOST look identical.

I didn't mean to put you down. I'm sorry if it seems that way to you. I am sure that your situation is not easy right now. I just wanted to make it clear to you that the developer is a single person who has made a complete port in 3 months and with this tight schedule it can happen that the demo does not correspond to the pictures. The fact that what you see in the pictures and videos is currently not the case is mainly Unity's fault. I just think that it is currently more important to bring the demo up to the level of the pictures than to bring the pictures up to the level of the demo. Your current situation, which will hopefully change soon, is rather unusual these days. I'm sorry if the demo disappointed you, I hope when your situation improves and the game is a bit more developed you'll give it another chance.

The pictures could be of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ looking game ever created or the most realistic crazy-good looking game ever and none of that would matter until the game is fully released. The fact that you spent your data on downloading the game is your own fault and problem and no one elses.

So what?

Why so many trolls... There are 2 kinds of demos: Tech demos and game demos. You are probably trolling, otherwise just too ignorant to realize this is a tech demo and you can't accept responsibility for your mistake.

REEEEE harder, dude.

You are complaining about wasting 1GB of data because you didn't do your own research. It's your own fault.
Obviously a demo is not the full game, and is NEVER representative of the full game. It's a proof of concept, but some demos have way more content than others. If you're going to randomly complain about how bad you have it, you must not have it that bad if you have any internet access and time to waste complaining on the internet. If your internet is that precious don't waste it downloading games. You're either a moron, a child, a troll, or a combination of these. Grow up, seriously. I have no sympathy for people like you.
