It's a bit amateur (okay a LOT amateur) and the sound has to be turned up but here's our first try at trying to demo something. In the coming weeks we hope to start getting video demos of making skins, using skinnable software, etc.

This video demo shows off how Stardock Central works with Galactic Civilizations. You can find out about GalCiv at www.galciv.com (https://www.galciv.com).

Ohh . . . so cheesy. Although it gets better after the first bit.

The main problem with it is that I couldn't actually see any of the features you were describing - the video quality was too low. You need to zoom in or something. Also there were sound problems - I know, you have limited bandwidth. But I'd wait a bit longer to have a better-quality experience.

sorry brad.. but I had problems with the sound... very bad... and the sound kept cutting in and out (im using Winamp 3... don't know if that is the problem or not) But you did a good a job of showing the features of SDC and the game at least I thought so...

Thanks. I suggest using Windows Media Player for WMV files. The sound is very low on there, I have to find a way to amplify the sound better.

I assume comments refer to the commentary?

Using WMP on my Thinkpad I had no problems at all. It was crystal clear. WMP downloaded the latest Codec so that may have helped. Alternatively, is there a balance issue if using quadrophonic/5.1/7.1 speaker setups? Obviously my laptop is just stereo so maybe that helps.

I don't think there was much of an issue with detail as the commentary described things well. After all, the demo isn't there to really showcase the detail of the game.

The one thing I would recommend is when demonstrating SDC, have a version where there is an update pending and show just how easy it is to apply an update.

Good job Brad.
