Demo Limitations

Leviathan · 04-22-2003, 11:33 PM

I just downloaded the Demo and I have to say that I am really impressed with it. The fish movement is great, and I love the 3D plants (can't wait to see a 3D backround for MA2). Anyway, after a while, the SS goes black...am I right to assume that this will go away after I purchase the aquarium...or will this strictly be a "demo" until version 1 comes out?

Keep up the great work!!!

Does nobody have the answer to this question??

I never viewed the demo. I bought the key before downloading. Never saw any black. I'm assuming then, that if you buy the demo, you get the full beta version and the black you see will go away.

I haven't tried it strictly in Demo mode, you don't have monitor sleep set do you?

No, the screen just kinda goes black after a few minutes...is there like a time limit on the demo?

Buy the demo. I had to borrow the $15.00 to do it, but I don't mind. Even if I had hated GA, I wouldn't have minded. I consider it donation to keep these guys working on my favorite software.

I know that in previous screensavers, there was a time limit on the demo. Don't know about this one.

I know that on Jim's you entered a testfish code and still had a nag screen and were limited, maybe Reichart can answer this one. I do know that he gets creative on Demo's.

" Is your gold fish in alone in the dark......."

to get your fish happy just buy the full package.....
