Hi, I'm OldPat, an italian indie game developer. I'm trying to improve as much as I can, hoping to reach a professional level one day.
I also like to draw a lot and that's another of the fields I'm trying to improve. My English is still a bit bad, so I hope you'll forgive me if I make any mistakes.^^'

How to make a demo
If even one person reads this and avoids making a demo, it's too many
Why? I mean, a demo is really useful, as we both explained in our past comments, but... it's not something that a dev ABSOLUTELY have to do. He could also avoid making one. Is it really that much of a problem? No.
Releasing a demo can have its downsides too. In fact, I agree with Cashmere's last post.
Sometimes people just stop after releasing a demo. They release something playable and that's it, the project stops there. (I mean, it happened to me and to a lot of other devs I know as well).
And if demos are the only things that ever get released then that's hardly a victory for the dev. Even if you release the best demo in the world... it's still a demo. You can't grow as a dev, nor show your true potential if you can't manage to release a complete game. That's a really important goal to achieve.
Full games are the REAL lifeblood of what we do. Relasing a demo should not be the goal. It's just another step, another development phase. An important step that can prove to be really useful, but not an absolutely required one.

You do know that opinion pieces often state subjective feelings in an objective manner to stress force of writing, right?
That is actually very true and the reason why I didn't like how things went, from "I think I don't agree with you because..." to "This is a dangerous article, back down!"
I don't agree with most of what Tuomo wrote and I explained what I disliked in a comment, that's what everyone else should do if they have a different opinion on the matter and that's it, period. No reason to flag this article as "dangerous" because it really is not. (And the comparisons with "earth is flat" and "vaccines" is stupid. Those are very different things. It's not a... "scientific fact" that demos should be made or not... and surely agreeing with Tuomo doesn't constitute a threat to our health as it would be agreeing to the whole "we shouldn't take vaccines" thing).
The only thing that can potentially be dangerous is to think that every other opinion is stupid and spit on it.
This is supposed to be a place of peaceful discussion among developers, after all.
Then again, I agree with most of what you guys wrote in the comments below. (You've read my first comment, after all).
Just... take it easy. ^^

For that trailer thing, does it have to be a new trailer for a new game incoming or does existing games count? Semi-confused on that one.
Existing games count.

Do I have to submit the Bossbattle and/or Maps separately, or will the demo count for them so long as they contain a bossbattle and maps?
They have to be release separately.

@Link: *grat grat* Actually, you're right, I can't find a way for you to delete a subscription to an article. That's odd, you can do that for topics and games but not for articles? Or have I just missed that option?

I think you can disable your subscription to this article, Link.
Anyway, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If Tuomo doesn't want to... back down, then it's not our problem. We can debate and share our view on the matter, but we can't and should not force people to adjust to our own opinions.
