Well ... from the Demo statistics it looks like over 200 copies have been downloaded. So actual sales of 100 to 200 would be likely.
That remains to be seen - a lot of people may have downloaded it to try on a PC, not knowing what a QL is. They are not going to fork out for a copy of QPC2 just to play the game though...
Marcel - we really need a runtime version of QPC2, then we can sell to the open PC market :-)
Trouble is that we could not really charge more than Â20 for the game including the runtime QPC2, so there is no way that we could still pay Â10 per copy to Tony Tebby....
Have you given this any more thought?
I am not particularly a 'word game' fan. Yet QWord is so good - in function, appearance, and sound - that I will buy it when it is available in completed form.
Thankyou Malcolm - just hope that it lives up to the hype. Not really bothered about sales figures, so long as people enjoy the game and it helps to keep interest in the QL going :-)
Meanwhile I am enjoying the Demo. I am regularly getting a score of between 300 to 400 at the first ( easy ) level. It does start to become addictive ... I am finding that I need to 'play' every time I use the computer :-)
You probably need to use one of the bigger dictionaries - its fairly easy to get a 1000+ score.
Also, just to say that QWord sets the display to high colour for its use, and then resets it back to whatever display was present when it was launched. Which is all very convenient and painless for the user. In other words ( excuse the pun ) it is a very well behaved piece of software.
Thankyou - only problem with doing this is jobs that are outside of the screen area while QWord is playing get killed.
