Yeah, bloxorz was recommended to me. I probably will check it out.
And I understand the no demo required policy. We have already had two small devs say they would not be able to release a PSN game at all if they had to take the time to make a demo, namely Novastrike and Everyday Shooter devs.
When its a small developer working out of his garage or in his spare time, if the concept is good enough, let them skip the demo and focus on the game. There is no magic "create demo" button. This was said by even more seasoned developers like the Pixeljunk guys.
Well, I totally get why developers would shy away from creating a demo, and as a programmer myself I know it's not as simple as just flipping the demo switch, but 100% of all XBLA games including the stuff made by single people, garage makers, etc all have demos.
And I'm saying that whether it's fair or not fair, I'm not apt to buy a lot of the borderline "well, maybe" games without a demo. Maybe a demo would turn me off or maybe it'd make me want to buy the game, but as-is they're losing a sale by not having a demo.
