Masahiro Sakurai talks game demos in his latest dev video
Who doesn't love the demo scene?
Masahiro Sakurai is back with yet another installment in his game development video series, and this time around he offers up a feature that slots into the ‘Marketing’ category.
According to Sakurai, demos can make for great promotional opportunities for your games, but the act of making them is far more challenging than you might expect…
We’ve seen countless demos released over the years, with some wooing consumers in droves and others killing a game before it even launches. Sometimes those demos are indicative of the game’s quality, and other times it’s just the wrong slice to share with the public without context. We as gamers certainly love demos, but they can be a death knell for a game if things aren’t handled expertly.
