[Ep451] Zigzag Progress

This week, we talk about shower thoughts, IPOs, and demos. Crafting a game demo is an art form. You need to strike the perfect balance between revealing enough to hook players while leaving them craving more. The effectiveness of a demo is also influenced by numerous other factors like the game’s genre, the timing of the release, and player expectations. So, do demos really boost game sales? The answer is a resounding “It depends!”
