LE 3.1 Demo or Eval version

[YouGroove]

Well buying a product or not buying is buyer responsability, but we should at leats be able to test something before buying like any software product.

 

I would want to know if it will be at least for non LE3 owners or Leadwerks 3.0 owners some little demo showing the features or some accessible 30 Days eval version for 3.1 ?

Josh stated before that the trial will be updated to 3.1 once it's out

[Josh]

...at some point after.

Don't you anticipate that when you release and announce the full, paid version that people will want to first try a current, working trial version to test it? There are 385 backers who didn't pledge enough to receive the engine plus whoever else your announcement will draw. Seems to me you'd lose some potential customers if you don't have a trial ready at launch.

Owners of Leadwerks 3.0 will mostly buy the upgrade anyway, but it does make sense to get the trial running as soon as possible.AND eep it free of bugs.

I mean up to date.

I prefer not to delay it.

If it would delay it past December then I agree. If it delays it to later December, I think it'd be worth it. Don't know how much work goes into preparing the trial or what else you need to do after relase (besides evaluating feedback and bug fixes).

[YouGroove]

A trial can come after, you will just gain new customers more later.

From a marketing point, annoucing on 3D sites LE 3.1 is here, would be better to have the demo version for new comers to try it out.

Some new comers will need to try it before buying.

[Josh]

Or you can use that to stretch the news out over two different events, the launch and the availability of the demo.

[gamecreator]

Sure, if you release the demo first. I'm sure there will be some people who will want to try the trial at launch and won't come back a second time. But I couldn't guess how many people that would be or how many would have become customers out of that group.
