We have had issues with the demo, in that the source code for the demo and the main game is incompatible, the demo was made with an earlier version of the code. We would LIKE to get the demo out, but we have to realistically balance time and budget. When a rental for a week is, what, £1.50 or something, it isnt a fortune. I agree we SHOULD have a demo, but we have to be practical. Where a demo is possible we do it. Where is a demo is merely ‘hard’ we do it, but the sacred demo is beyond that. We have expended a good amount of developer time on it, without success so far.

That is not a Demo, that is Renting, Jusko is asking for a demo, people don’t want to fork out for something they may not like when there should be a Demo available.

Hi. I know this is wrong place to ask about Sacred, but when there be a Linux demo? I want to buy Sacred, but I’ve never played this game, so i want to test.

Best Regards.

p.s: sorry for bad English – I’m from Poland.

There is an equivalent in g++

I forgot that in our standard headers we have:

#define __forceinline inline __attribute__((always_inline))

I should probably update the article with this!

I keep wondering, which version of g++ you are using. ‘__forceinline’ is no C++ ISO keyword and if my memory doesn’t fool me this keyword isn’t known to g++.

I would remove it anyway. Crappy VC++ homebrew stuff.
