Hey Seach, I seem to be following you around from forum to forum today, and commenting on this Silo sale. 
For anyone here who's wanted to try it, you can get the 30-day trial at Nevercenter, but as Seach noted, the sale is only on until May 1st, so grab it, try it, and then buy it.

Thanks for sharing the info. For some reason I thought that Silo wasn't supported anymore, but I think I was confusing it with Hexagon. If life plays nice with me I may try and download the demo to play with it and see if it's something I want.
Honestly GG, I thought the same before I purchased it because they don't necessarily do new versions yearly, or even every other year, as other software companies do. I had tried out the 30-day trial back in 2014, but didn't want to spend $159 for it, and I hadn't seen a less expensive sale at Nevercenter than $109.
That said, Steam had it for about $69 at the time, but I don't do Steam or it's games, and at the time their version was one version behind what Nevercenter was offering, so I just waited. Then Netherworks had posted on the old RDNA forums that MacHeist had it for a lot less (I'd have to check to see exactly what it was), and it was offering a bundle of Mac apps with it, which I didn't need as I'm on a PC, but all I did was purchase the license from them, ignored the download of the Mac version of Silo, and went to Nevercenter and downloaded the latest PC version. The new license I had purchased worked perfectly on the 30-day trial version I had originally installed, and then I upgraded to the latest version I had just downloaded.
So, they may not update it as regularly as other software, but there have been updates, and now we have the 64-bit version, which is always a plus.

Yes, I just checked back to July 2014 when I purchased it, and it was $19.99. I didn't think it was that inexpensive, but I knew it was lower than the $69 Steam wanted for it.
