I don't know myself so I doubt anyone will be able to answer you on that one. That's the kind of secret ultra confidential info that we will unveil only at the time of the release :).

If it's more that 15mg I can't get it! :frown:

If thats so, then how do we demo it, and then decide if we like it? If I buy it, I would expect the complete version would be on CD, but what about a demo/unregistered shareware? Hey, maybe they'll let you download parts of it. Like the Name Gen, the Map editor, Event Editor, etc. in seperate parts.
I found this under another topic on this forum:

It's about (full sized with all the crap...uh,bells and whistles) the size of pog, I'm almost certain there's a trim or lite version, besides I believe they ship it to you when you register(CD,docs,engine)

<Rant> Beenox's page is about as up to date as the Coldstone FAQS, if you see what I am getting at. I remember there was a FW demo, maybe there will be a Coldstone demo. Personally, I am buying it the day it is released (or soon thereafter) </Rant>

this one will be around 17-20mb in size with all the bells and whistles included, if they were to distriute a frill free version just the engine it would be about 8mbs in size...

Well I can be thankful for speed download, a 1000 ethernet card and cable, and a fast computer (Speed Download can make DL speeds on a boardband modem up to 500kbs a sec.) Thats just me. I don't care how long the download is and as long as it isn't a giga dl then I am fine. Also on a side note me and a bunch of guys from another message board are making a rpg story skript and so far its turning out really good. I'll have a good size game engine with pleanty of power to create a good rpg off of. I don't think it will be to large. Besides if it is they can divide it up into sections: Music, art, animation esc.

What part of the Coldstone FAQs do you consider to not be up to date, exactly?

Of course, this is entirely inaccurate.

Maybe that part where it says it hasn't entered beta yet...
That is pretty much it GlueBubble.
