PAX 10 INDIE games - Full version or demo?

Hello, I am wondering if the game I submit to the PAX 10 indie games contest will be available for public download, or just for the judges. I will gladly give a full version to the judges, but would rather only give my 60-minute demo if the game will be able to be downloaded by the public.

Anyone?

    good lord, your demo is 60 minutes long?
    I mean, it's great, but most demos are like 5.

    Umm, as in you can play for 60 minutes before you have to go buy the full version. Five minutes would allow to just about play the first two levels.

    How many hours of gameplay is the completed game?

    Feel free to submit questions to pax_10@penny-arcade.com. But to answer your question, during the submission process you also provide a secure method for us to download the game - whether that means a private server or some type of DRM, the build will not be made available to the public. Good luck!

    Thanks for the answers! I will be sure to send a link to a full version when I submit it.
    The store is wrapping it in its DRM now, and I will get a finished version back tomorrow.

    The game is around 5 hours, and you check out the site for more details.

    Customize your weapons, shields and sensors, right down to the wiring!

    Easy to learn, complex to master, combine parts to make teleporters that detect nearby enemies, homing missiles that follow the mouse, and shields that adapt to the enemy's weapons!"

    Thanks again!

    Christ that game looks pretty cool.

    Though your blog does not lend it any help. Can I suggest left-align? =)

    Also, for criminy's sake, provide an RSS feed. I'm interested in your game, but I'm not going to check back every couple of days or anything. Adding a feed to my feedreader though would allow people like me (who impulse-buy shit all the time) to keep up to date without having to go back and check and check and check and check, etc.

    Customizable mechs AND zombies? You might as well had said hookers and blow for all. I'm sold.

    This game appears to be made of win. Well done!
