Hey! It’s been a while!
For those who have completed/started a project. When do you think is a reasonable time to release a beta/demo?
I currently have 3 chapters mostly finished in my project, and I would love to get more eyes on it. But is 3 a reasonable amount to release in a demo? Does the length matter? I’d hate to put something out and it kinda just… NOT be worth the time
I guess it would be better to nip the problems early?
Really curious to see opinions
There’s generally two periods when people will download your hack - when you first put up your demo and the thread seems fresh (so people go in to try out a new thing), and when you release (so people go in to play a finished product). So good impressions in those two periods is important.
My personal take is that three chapters is too short for an early demo release. Something like six to seven chapters is more reasonable for a first release. If you want someone’s eyes on it at your current state, see if you can reach out to someone personally, maybe a friend or some other person you know who might give it a try.

Funny enough, 6 is what I am actually aiming for!
So that makes a lot of sense.
I can’t imagine my project going above 15 chapters. So 6 I think is a good bit of the game to test out!
Thanks
