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.

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.

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!

'__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.
