Exclamation Demo News

Hi all - had confirmation through now and sadly it's not the news you wanted to hear, but there will be no demo for Hospital Tycoon sadly.

The main issue with a demo for a game like this is what exactly to give you to play with: we could give you the tutorial level to play with, but then the game seems kind of dull as it’s just teaching you how to play. If we give you a more exciting later level then you won’t know what you’re doing!

So rather than a demo we'll be producing a lot more videos to show off the game and what you can do in it - promise.

Sorry for the late notice on this, but we thought as soon as it was confirmed we should tell you so your hopes aren't crushed too much!

Hopefully you'll still be looking forward to the new video out next week, along with the Producer Q&A (which, from what I've seen, is very in-depth).

And remember the full game is released in three weeks or so anyway!

Yeah, we're really sorry about that, but the decision had to made to go with a demo or not, and we decided reluctantly not to.

Really bad news for us, the demo is useful for test the game, see if it like us or not, and for an important thing, for test how it works in our computers. It's really bad that we couldn't test the game,How I'll know how the game works in my computer?
