Time Gentlemen, Please!
« on: 22 Jun 2009, 14:58 »
Time Gentlemen, Please!, the sequel to last year's Ben There, Dan That! is  out now.

There's a free demo for you to sample, but the whole thing costs a whopping joyous gameplay.

If you donated anything to Ben There, Dan That!

Featuring stuff and bits by The Forgetful Elephant's own 'Lemmy and Binky' and some glorious art from lovely Mashpotato, PARTICLE EFFECTS and everything by Nickenstein, a full soundtrack, and some adorable puzzles. It's longer than Ben There, Dan That!, with better puzzles and sheen and all sorts.

It's stated on the gamepage, but worth reiterating:

Q: Does Time Gentlemen, Please! contain any naughty swears?
A:


EDIT: the AGS game page is now set up, here.

ALSO: Strange Visitor cameos in it, as Mr. Blow the Sexual Education Clown, and should have received a free copy, but I got caught up in the release and forgot.

SORRY SV! I'll make it up to you with a pint, one day ;)

Pish tosh!  And, conversely ironic, I am also a teetotaler. :)

U've never played Ben There, Dan That but you know I am buying it anyway because I WANT you succeed! Because I CARE!!

(And because it looks fun.)

EDIT: You should really mention the VAT on the site, it pushes the price to maybe just under an overpriced small ice cream at a cinema)

EDIT2: Whoo! It's mine!

The art looks really appealing. Going to download the demo then probably buy the full version.

EDIT: Damn my graphics card doesn't support pixel shader 1 lool.

Played and enjoyed the Demo.
Just downloaded full game.  Will play tomorrow :)

[Edit]
Tomorrow arrived.  I'm part-way throught the game and am really enjoying it.  Already had three or four laugh out loud moments (and I'm very stingy with my lols on the best of days).

One thing though, is that my computer has crashed twice while playing... the monitor went all funny colours and the music stopped and I basically could not progress without reebooting.  Luckily I save often.  This could of course be my laptop (it is pretty freaking hot at the moment).  But has anyone else had a similar problem?

Played Ben There, Dan That and enjoyed it to death. Now I paid my bucks for this sequel...

And it ROCKS!

But I find that Dan's movement is somewhat buggy. Even to the point that it can become an endless loop, as happened to me while playing.

While getting out of the Pal robot-thing's Lab, Dan's movement became an endless loop. As the game waits him to reach one point instead of Ben itself (the leading char) it becomes impossible to quit the room.
And if you save frequently there's no problem, but for a spoony bastard like me (who eventually forgot the meaning of the concept "Save game") is quite bad.

Anyway. Good job on this guys!

I dunno if any of this is much of a spoiler, but anyway STOP READING IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME.

BUG: I got stuck as Dan in PAL's lab at the corner closest to Ben of the bench. I couldn't move, and Dan kept facing away from the screen. I'm gussing its a walkable area issue. But, great game so far. Laughed at some things maybe too much and too hard  ;D

Paid and tested on Windows 7 (it works). Obviously I need to finish BTDT because I'm missing out on some in-jokes.

Loving it regardless, though.

Good show!

What now: the game... or Windows?
 ;)


Will give the demo a spin first, but I'm already sold to the game. And that money could hardly buy me a decent Sub anyway. Congrats on the team effort btw, reads like a rich list of famous names! (better'n a famous rich, listed name)
