I have 92 demos left on my list that I'd like to try/cover, and on a good day I can record 5-8 of them. It would take 12-18 days of constant recording to go through them all (assuming they're all good).
Please keep your demos up devs. It helps us out tremendously.
One piece of advice I would give is DONT TAKE YOUR DEMO DOWN when the festival is over. I usually mark dozens of games but I have time to hit 1 a day. Leaving your game up for another week or two after the festival is a really good plan. I only get 7 videos this week.

How long would you recommend keeping a Next Fest demo up for? Would a month be enough time?

Hard to say, but unless your game is coming out soon it probably won't hurt to keep a demo up.
I'd recommend at least 2 weeks if possible, since my coverage of Next Fest games will likely extend into July keeping the demos up means my fans can still try them out.

Wow, impressive that you can cover 5-8 per day, that's a ton of work!
I'm keeping mine up for quite some time, it has been super useful for gathering feedback to ensure the final game is awesome

I think it's absolutely crazy how many devs think making their demo a timed exclusive is going to somehow drive more traffic, not realizing there's thousands of demos waiting to be played right next to them.
They're only hurting themselves. That's the worst part.

It would certainly help me with my list of 66 demos. Especially with trying to record these while working a full time job, I could barely do 2 a day if I'm lucky 😅

I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one who fell victim to this wealth of new demos. Mine is over 100, and I haven't looked at every category yet...

Really appreciate all the content creators trying to give more attention to all these indie games!

I find that about 60% of the time if I installed the demo I can get away with the old "Browse local files" and then launch it directly from that folder and it'll still work.

hiya! dunno if gulch guardians happens to be on that list but if so, please feel free to move it to the end of your queue, it’s not part of the festival and the demo will be up for the foreseeable future :)

Ugly is one of the best demos I have played so far. It ends just before I would like it ok though. Great puzzle platformer with Braid Vibes with a playdead dark undertone.
