And this when asked if there would be a demo of the game:

I've given some thought to a demo and I'm not convinced there is a good way to do one. So much of the game is open source that it would be virtually impossible to have a demo that couldn't be modified into an almost full version of the game.

The only way around this is to actually branch from the full release code base and create a code stream for a demo with hard coded values for quarter time and and whatever other restrictions the demo would include. This introduces a bunch of logistical issues I really can't deal with at the moment. That and the fact that you would be restricting the user from experiencing the core feature of the game, which is its flexibility.

In other words...No demo.
