Demo Poll

In terms of pricing, note that

Chocolate Castle is $20 ( http://www.lexaloffle.com/choc.php )
Prof. Fizwizzle is ~$20 ( http://www.grubbygames.com )
Defcon is $20 ( http://www.everybody-dies.com/ )
Mr Robot is $24.95 ( http://www.moonpod.com/English/about_mr.robot.php )

We haven't settled on a price yet, but it'll probably be something that makes sense relative to popular indie titles like these.

Having read the latest post on the main site, i would be prepared to pay a lot more

I personally would like a demo, but don't consider it that important.  I'll be buying it anyway, (also, i agree with Cobar, i'd pay upwards of 35-40 dollars for this game right now) but a demo would be nice.  It'd give me something to do until i get the money.

Okay, that latest post on the main page was fricken awesome. Naija automatically looking at things of interest? That's a kind of small detail that turns great games into fantastic games.

I think that more stuff like that would be fricken awesome and would give me that push to purchase Aquaria with or without a demo.

Keep up the good work guys! I eagerly await hearing more and maybe even playing it!

if you do the demo right. When I say right, I mean have it where when the player is done they are dying to have the full game. Of course you guys already knew that. I like the demos that are separate of the full game that way it's like you get something new and fresh but still shows off what the game is about

I don't know all of these, but from those I do, I'd guess $30 would probably be pretty reasonable. Of course, those of us on the board might be willing to pay a bit more, but hopefully we'll be a rather small proportion of your sales

Besides, that's what the boxed edition with OST is for!

I too would pay $30 or $40 for this without batting an eye.

As for a demo - obviously I plan to pick up the game as soon as it's available, and I've been around long enough to feel pretty confident about whatever I purchase without actually playing it.  I'm usually well-educated about my gaming purchases just because I'm A- an obsessive gamer, and B- frequently involved in game journalism.  Demos mean little to me personally, hence I'd have no desire for the game's release to be delayed for that.  That said, I think it's completely awesome when developers create demos that are actually different from the main game, providing another small section of unique gameplay or even a little unique story.  That means even people who own the game will check the demo out just because it's something else related to the game they love, but something that they haven't yet seen in their own game.  I think that would be my own personal choice for a demo if I were going to do one, though obviously this takes a bit of extra work.

My only request is this - please don't release the game until September.  I took some time off of work in order to pick up and start burning through Bioshock, and if Aquaria came out during my stint with that, I think my head would explode trying to decide between the two.  Seriously.  And I like my head.

I can give you mine for rent.  Sure, it has lower than average IQ, but i think you'll manage.

I've been browsing the blog and forums for months, but you got me to register just to participate in the poll. I would definitely pay without a demo. Also, I was expecting a 29.99 or a 39.99 price point considering what I've heard/seen about the game!

[Quemaqua]

Okay guys, I think we should stop giving the guys a license to make the game cost more.   

[Alec]

$900 it is, then.

Aquaria > PS3

LOL

Congratulations Bit-Blot. The results of this poll show that you are building up a decent fanbase of fanbois!

[Tosheros]

Personnaly, if a demo is out, I think I won't download it. I want to hold the pleasure for the real game.

Still, a demo would be useful for people who doesn't know much about the game. Since it is free, why shouldn't they try it? And then if they love it they buy the game.

[Assault]

I'd buy the game anyway, but if there is a demo first. I'd check it out before anything else.

[Tosheros]

Simple question, if I download the game online, but that I have two computers at home, if I want them on both my computers i would have to pay it twice or there could be a way not to pay it twice?
