This is a personal opinion.
I think TDC is overfilled with bad and "neverfinished" demo versions. I think it shall be done illegale to submit demos to the TDC. The game collection at TDC will be GREATLY improved if betas & demos where done illegale to submit.

But that's not the point of the Daily Click. The point is that ANYONE can post there stuff here, and people are supposed to hlep them out with comments and such. That's what supposed to happen anyway..

Demos are a way for people to show the early stages of their game off, so why whould they be illegal?
I understand if 50 of one game are submitted, but other than that i dont see any reason.

I think there should be a different section just for demos myself.

It's bad thing for users. if you're searching e.g. rpg, 4/5 of the games are crappy demos, and 'cool' demos are in 'demos'-section as they should be.

I think that genre section isn't set up very good. "Demo, Engine" and so on are not genres, "action, rpg, strategy" and so on are.... i think this section should be completely revamped.....what if users have the ability to choose from 2 drop down menus for their games. 1 menu would hold words like "action, platform" and all that, and the other would hold stuff like "full, demo" etc. ...then the download section could be like this:

.........downloads
............|
|---------|--------------|
demos.................full versions
|........................|
action..................action
rpg......................rpg
platformer.............platformer


..if you know what i mean ?

Wouldn't it be better to post a demo version as part of a Preview?

Oh yeah I agree... someone posts a demo the feds should have them copping the "You have the right" speech within minutes...

I was talking along the lines of having a demo section on the right sidebar. So you could have action game demos if you want, not just "demo". If a demo is submitted in the wrong section then it should be removed.

I agree, Daniel. There should be a preview update button, because I have too keep making previews about the same game.

You should get the chair if you post demos.
