I've been waiting for this game a long time.
Can't wait to play it, Hillbilly. Definitely looks like a great game.

Steel Drummer · Sun 25/02/2007 22:35:22

YES!! This is awesome! Almost as good as hearing that Legend Of The Lost Lagoon is released.

thewalrus · Mon 26/02/2007 05:21:29

Great news. Can't wait to play it....

Fleshstalker · Sun 04/03/2007 05:12:07

Wowzas! This looks very nice. I laugh at the character, hes funny looking.

So close to completion. How many MB will it be? I hope its under 30 since my IP always disconnects me after 4 hours of being connected and I have a regular modem.

No, sorry. It's more like... 300 MB. 160MB zipped. I could make it a torrent though, so you can just continue downloading after a reconnect.

Fleshstalker · Sun 04/03/2007 17:43:59

Let see...

20MB takes me about 2 hours

160/20 = 8 x 2 = 16 hours

Woah!

LOL

I don't think I could be patient enough.

I think I'll wait when I get high speed internet sometime this year. So I guess I'll wait. Once I get high speed, this will be the first game I'll download.

@Fleshstalker
Try using Opera. When your download is aborted it will continue on request with most files.

@Hillbilly
Have you any games to compare this with in size? Is there just as much story in this one as in DOTT? (though I noticed early in the thread that it's a small game)

ps: I don't mean size in megabytesÃ,Â :

ps2: I realy love your graphics! It brings me back to the DOTT, Sam & Max and Full Throttle days :'(

Somewhere around "Who Killed Kenny Rogers" and "A Friend Indeed". Perhaps slightly shorter.

Wow, thanks. That's a major compliment, seeing how those were my childhood favorites too.

I'm not sure if I misunderstood, are you saying is shorter than "A Friend Indeed?" :o

Please say no xD :'(

It's been a while since I played it, but I would say it's about the same length, yes. I don't think it's shorter.

BETA testers:

If I accepted you as a BETA tester, and you still haven't got a PM from me; Send me a PM now.

...right.

That said, it looks terrific, and everything people have said before. I just wanted to put these two quotations side by side and see what they looked like.

Well you know. With the cutscenes, voices, music and the game itself added up, it gets quite large. I hope this won't be a major problem for most of you.

thewalrus · Thu 22/03/2007 14:48:36

Well, large downloads are never a problem for me. I have an ultra fast cable connection. So I say the larger the better!!! (whoa, that came out sounding quite gay)

HillBilly · Mon 09/04/2007 12:55:50

Hi again. The game has gone through its first stage of testing, and is growing bigger and more stable as we type. For everyone who's interested in the development in detail, I suggest going here:

I'll update whenever there's a major/minor development or some screenshot/media I want to share. Sorry for the extra wait.
