Btw will the game be sent on a cd to whoever requests it, or do you have to download it online?

A demo is only useful to determine if you would want to purchase a game but since A'sA is free, a "demo" is not needed. The only possible other reason to release a game demo would be for the lowband 56k-ers to see if they want to take the time to download the whole thing. And a 220 meg size does NOT fit the bill for that purpose. That would take way too long to download for them.
So the whole thing makes little sense. They should just wait until the game is finished then release version 1, and patch it later like all the other games do.
