2034 A.C. (After Canada) [MAGS]

Love the gfx and the overall style of the game. However, I think I don't get all the jokes, maybe due do my limited english skills or my lack of knowledge about canada,

Yeah, Ghost had the same issues when he was playtesting it. I can only hope that the charm of the characters and their world carry the day for those who don't "get" the subtleties of Canada -- which is everyone, basically.

Glad you liked the game. Thanks for playing.

Nobody "gets" the subtleties of Canada. You have to earn them.

There's a 1000 blackfly bite initiation before we start sharing our subtleties with outsiders.

As someone who resided briefly in Canada, it's totally worth the flies because Canada produces stuff like this: Bacon Flavored Beer

Canada is decades ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to beer technology. Truly, they have won the Cold (Beer) War.

A decision you will not regret, Dan. (Unless you're Canadian, that is)

Ah.... Well then...

Gosh! When did we let all these Canadians into our nice, clean forums?

I'd like to make this clear, I ALWAYS have issues. It's practically my trademark.

Easily confuddled. That's your problem, sir. That and all the beer and staying up all night on the interwebs when you should be resting up for another day of work. Those people in the hospital are counting on you, Ghost. And you're showing up hung over and trying to make everyone believe it's "teh diabeetus". You're not fooling anyone, sir.

Played the game Ponchy! MY first AGS game of the year. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beauty eh?

Xionix · Sun 24/02/2013 18:47:14

Damn, you fight for podcast rights, make ppl fly to Canada without having to go in a plane, you must be the best fictional forum cow ever!!! I will give this one a try, I hope Im smart enough to understand its complexities.

Hey, cut that out! We Canadians probably enjoyed it the most!

Another Canadian in our forums! Goodness, it's practically an invasion! A well-mannered invasion!

Stee: Thanks, dude. Glad you liked it, eh?
Xionix: Don't worry if you don't get all the jokes. Canada is very tricky that way.

Nice game, eh?

How amazing that you finished a relatively content-rich game in such a tight schedule, buddy! You never fail to surprise us, Ponch.

Well, if your Barn Runner can keep paces like this...

I wish I could, eh? Unlike 2034 A.C., with it's simple sprites, all the art in Barn Runner is hand drawn. I literally draw each and every frame of a walkcycle on paper with a pen and then scan it in to turn them into sprites. Drawing and scanning all those actors and backgrounds is very time consuming. I wish I could turn out the Barn Runner games this fast, but I haven't found the trick to it yet.

Anyhooo, thanks for playing After Canada, Airborne. I'm glad you liked it.

Will there be another tweaked version in the future? A sequel perhaps?

There will indeed be another adventure for Paige Rowsdower. But that's a donut I'm keeping under wraps for now, eh?

You're IN Canada?!?

You lucky duck! Quick! Go to Tim Horton's for a donut! Then wash it down with some coffee from Second Cup! Then grab a burger at Harvey's for lunch! Then go to a hockey game to watch a good fight. Ooh! I'm so jealous!

I hope you like the game (and the nation), eh?
