  First off great game guys.  I've been a King's Quest and Sierra adventure games fan from the time I played on the computer.  To be honest I didn't have much hope on this team because it was going to be such a big thing and freeware.  You don't see much of that.  But now that's changed.  Anyway back to the topic at hand:

Can't we save in this demo version?! Or is there something wrong with my version?  Why not allow people to save on a demo?

Another thing if the demo of shadows is 75 MB then how much is the read full shadows version going to be?

Keep up the good work.  It's awesome and might make adventure games come back to life once more.  (I know, I know there not dead.  But believe me they have gone to the very edge of the gate of the realm of the dead)

Saving was intentionally disabled in the demo. 8)  The reason was mostly because it wasn't completed properly at the time, so we just removed it entirely.  The demo itself is actually pretty short and you can't die in it, so there's no real need to save. :P

I wish I could tell you how large Shadows is going to be, but it's still being developed so I can't. ;P  There are some things that are in this demo which will be common throughout (i.e. Graham, game engine, UI, etc.) but there will be quite a lot more added.

Plotwise, the demo represents 4.5% of Shadows so there's plenty more things to add.  We've estimated it to be a GB before, but I would estimate it more around 500-650MB.  Still though, I have no idea how large the videos and other scenes will be, so I'll say 1GB now just to be safe. 8)

No official date has been set for further updates of that nature. Project Director César Bittar announced some weeks ago that there would not be another demo, but that all our efforts would instead be placed into completing Shadows. I suppose this could conceivably change if the team's circumstances change.
Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes...
