Demigod demo now available
Demigod has been out for months now and yet we still haven’t seen a demo version of the game. Luckily, Stardock has today announced just that, a demo version of Demigod.
Players will reportedly be able to play through all 4 of the game’s multiplayer modes using four demigods; Regulus, Rook, Sedna and Lord Erebus. However, the only map made available for play in the demo is Cataract.
If you’re a fan of the RTS genre, Demigod is definitely a game you should check out. Head here to snag the demo.
Stardock Addressing Demigod Multiplayer Issues
Seeing as how the launch for Demigod was a disaster for Stardock, all thanks to GameStop breaking the street date, the publisher has put forward an update from its CEO Brad Wardell, detailing the problems facing the RPG-RTS hybrid and the steps that are being taken to resolve them.
Multiplayer has been an issue for the game, as many players are facing difficulties getting online and connecting to games. Stardock notes that they are still working on the game’s multiplayer backend.
As penance for the problems, Stardock offers players the opportunity to play against its employees, who will offer tips and advice on how to better play the game.
Game Stop releases Demigod early, causes chaos at Stardock
It has recently come to the attention of the public that Game Stop had released Stardock’s PC RTS Demigod as early as last Friday when it was originally slated for a April 15th release date.
As displeased as they were, Stardock wasn’t as displeased as they were at the mass panic they had to endure when thousands of players began playing the game online:
it was Easter weekend. And many of us had just finished a good solid 8 weeks of massive crunch and were looking forward to the weekend to recover. Instead, we found ourselves back at work having to turn on and configure the multiplayer matchmaking servers (we had enough for a beta but not for thousands of people).
In lieu of this Stardock has decided to break the street date themselves and have given retailers the go ahead to begin offering the game to consumers.
