1. Purpose of a Game Demo 

A game demo serves as a playable snapshot of your game, designed to showcase its potential. It’s often used to pitch your game to publishers or investors. For lawyers, a demo can help them understand the game’s content and context, which is crucial when dealing with legal matters such as intellectual property rights or content rating issues.

2. Creating a Game Demo in Unreal Engine 

Unreal Engine provides a robust set of tools for creating a demo version of your game. Here are some steps to consider:

Select Key Features: Choose the most engaging and unique aspects of your game to include in the demo.

Design a Standalone Experience: The demo should offer a complete experience to the player, even if it’s just a small portion of the full game.

Optimize: Ensure the demo runs smoothly on a variety of hardware configurations.

3. Legal Considerations

When preparing a demo for lawyers, consider the following:

Intellectual Property: Ensure all assets used in the game are either owned by you or properly licensed.

Content Rating: Be aware of the content in your game that could affect its rating (violence, language, adult content, etc.).

4. Pitching to Publishers 

When presenting your demo to publishers:

Highlight Your Vision: Use the demo to convey your vision for the final product.

Showcase Market Potential: Demonstrate how your game meets market trends or fills a niche in the market.

Be Prepared to Discuss Business: Be ready to discuss potential revenue models, marketing strategies, and development timelines.

Remember, a well-crafted demo can be a powerful tool for attracting publishers and navigating legal considerations. Spend time polishing and perfecting your demo to make the best possible impression.
