Demo/Proof of Concept Released


As of today, the first official Demo/Proof of Concept for Project Silence has been upload and released. The link will be at the bottom of this page. But first, an explanation on just what "Proof of Concept" means in this case.


When someone plays the demo of a video game, it is (generally) using somewhat final graphics and textures. Should the game have voice acting, the final voice actors are the ones providing the voices. Usually the final soundtrack has been inserted as well. You are basically playing a portion of a game that is mostly finished, with the team spending a month to polish that one part.


However, a Proof of Concept is something completely different. Unlike a demo, most of the graphics and textures are place holders and generic. Any voice acting is not final. The soundtrack is also mostly a place holder. However, it is used to show what the final project will become. It is a way of saying "This is the bottom line," and that the game can only move up.


Though marked as a demo, what was released today is more a Proof of Concept. More will be released in a few weeks, after the past few sleepless nights are recovered from.
