Perhaps it is indeed better to either upload it yourself or (if it's not too large) ask someone else to host it. Like Adventurer said, not everyone uses it and it's possible to download infected copies from someone's computer if he has a virus.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashu ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

BTW, here's a Christmas Bonus for you guys, in light of Erpy's post:<br><br>1. Run Antivirus software and keep it updated (even if you don't use P2P software).<br><br>2. Backup your computer often. Backup every single file once a year. Maybe during the holidays. Unless you are watching movies on your PC.<br><br>3. Never open an attachment from someone you don't know.<br><br>4.

Being so dependant on other people to distribute your project for you is actually a weakness rather than a strong point from where I'm standing. People usually just take a program out of the shared folder as they install it instead of wasting space by leaving it in. People can screw up things by placing duds (files with the same name but different content) in their shared folder. People will be less likely to try something if they have to install a P2P util first. You don't have any control whatsoever over the distribution. If Sierra were to disagree with the existence of your project after its release and they realize there is no download link for you to take down, they'll skip the cease&desist and go straight to the lawsuit instead when they realize there's nothing you can do to stop the distribution in any way.

Wolfgang is right. It'd be foolish to distribute your entire project over the net, because everyone will be able to modify it as they see fit and you'll lose complete control over the project. The files in the "compiled" folder are all you need to distribute among people. Just zip those files (the exe, the setup, and the 00x-files) into one file and distribute it. But heck, that was what you did with your first demo's, right, so there's no real need for us to tell you all this.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I can't comment directly because I represent a team of people.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Yes, but so does every AGDI-member who posts here.

Like Relight, I'm seeing this one turning into yet another spectacle where people are exchanging low blows.<br><br>Jodo, here's my advice. Please take this well.<br><br>- People couldn't find it on Kazaa. The reason to me is simple. Assuming that you're the only person who has the file in his shared folder at this moment, people will only be able to obtain your demo when you're online and have Kazaa enabled. Unless you'll find people who're willing to keep it in their shared folder and keep their computer turned on and online all the time, your file will be very hard to get. So please, follow people's advice and just upload it like you did with the other demo's. It'll be for the better. As you can see, P2P isn't nearly as efficient as a distribution method as you assumed.<br><br>- Right now we're talking about distribution of a demo. It can't be that big. There's no need to discuss the distribution of the final version yet until the final alpha or beta version is finished. This thread should be about your demo, not about P2P.<br><br>- Please don't start with the "my files are only accessible to people who are intelligent"-kind of comments. They're highly inflamatory, will just cause people to take offense and on the whole, you'll be wanting to distribute your work to an audience as broad as possible, not just those you deem worthy. (I mean, there may be plenty of people who don't react to this thread, but are interested in trying out your work) If you stand behind your work, you'll know that it has the potential to change the mind of people who criticise. You're posting about your demo on a public message board. That means EVERYONE should be able to comment on your demo and thus should have access to it. If you just want a limited number of people to comment on it, have this thread closed, contact a select number of people through mail/IM and send them the game while exchanging feedback through mail/IM.<br><br>For short: upload the demo to some server while ignoring your own opinions about distribution for a while now. It's for the best. And just wait until people try out and comment on your demo.<br><br>Blackthorne and Deltamatrix...you posted that you couldn't locate the file. Fair enough. But that point can be made without launching a direct assault at the thread's creator. I personally find it a bit annoying when I'm taking the time to choose my words carefully, only to see someone else set the place on fire with a few blunt comments. If you want to point things out...go ahead. But do so in a civil manner, if you please.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... py>Erpy</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://members.chello.nl/c.vanempel/icon.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 12/25/03 12:00 pm<br></i>

Jodo,<br><br> I had originally posted some kind of retort/insult here, but I'm not going to do that now. I am not a spammer, nor ever have been. I have only been interested in this game since you announced it, and it has since become a spectacle.

I can only infer that you must be somewhat deranged. Perhaps too much time in cyberspace has hurt your logic and reasoning capabilities. Anyways, I will continue to search Kazaa to try and find your demo, as the Colonel's Bequest was one of my personal favorites. I hope it's worth it.

Sorry if you can't find it on Kazaa just yet.<br><br>We are looking into alternative distribution methods.<br><br>Thank you for your continuing support!<br><br>P.S.

The file is 5MB so free services would allow about 20 people that's about it. <br><br>P.S.S. ERPY, when I hinted non-intelligent people can't play my game I mean people who cannot share cannot play my game. If you don't share in the distribution of the file (via BitTorrent or eDonkey or Kazaa), then you have NO RIGHT to ask me to share my files with you. Don't want to let others download the game, then you can't download it (cauze you don't want to install the Client).<br><br>This is Christmas and I'm asking you to SHARE your time/resources/ in this case your Connection so that others can play the game. The response I'm getting is you expect me to pay for it or ask people to host it who have better things to do with their time than to respond to my stupid bandwidth request. I don't want to bug people when the systems are already in place to share files.<br><br>The power to share files is in your hands with eDonkey Bittorrent and Kazaa but if you don't want to share, guess what, you can't download! No.<br><br>It's a lesson you should have learned in kindergarten. Blackthorne... Erpy now has control of this thread (and will soon close it if necessary).<br><br>When the demo is released, it will be a large 400 MB almost-CD-Size file so that's what we are concerned about. Your concerns are 'in the present' but we want a smooth release when the game is ready. Unless someone pays for the bandwidth, HERE are the calculations:<br><br>10 people download the game? 10 special peeps? times 400MB is 4Gigabytes! The game is high quality so I'll tell you this now; get used to sharing your files otherwise you're absolutely correct, the people with files will LOCK YOUR UNGRATEFULNESS OUT.<br><br>In the 'Adult World' I would post it on a Website and force you to pay $49.95 paypal to download the game and play it. But we'll give it away free... assuming it is 100% free.<br><br>You have to share your bandwidth for this transaction to proceed. Our game will not be trifled with. There is no alternative to the clients I mention for 1. Unlimited Bandwidth 2. Free.<br><br>If you can provide a free unlimited host for our project post here. <br><br>Jodo Kast<br>LBCBR Crew<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
