Hi Community.

We are 'Falchion Games', an indie development studio based in Staffordshire, England. Our first title "Go to Hell Dave" is currently in production and we're hoping to have a pre-alpha demo avaliable and ready to download by the end of September.

'Go to Hell Dave' is the epic saga of Dave, a normal guy with a typical life until he smashes his car into a lamp-post, with his girlfriend Sharon in the passenger seat. Waking up at the gates of Hell, Dave discovers that his girlfriend has gone, Satan is missing and Hell has become a dilapidated mess.

'Go to Hell Dave' is a hilarious adventure in which you will take Dave on a tour of Hell's nine floors, none of which you'll never read about in the Bible or the Divine Comedy.

Our facebook page can be accessed here:

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy our game.

Ben Burns & Alex Byrom (Falchion Games)

our latest environment, the inside of Abandon All Hope nightclub.

Triple-breasted supermodels?? 0_0 Sounds bizarre even if it is hell.

Judging by the screenshots, I do admire the background art, but I find the protagonist's pose too static. What I mean by this is, I'm seeing him standing with his face slightly turned in four pictures (including your signature). Are there any shots of him doing something else? He doesn't walk around like that does he?

Yeah he does :-). It's just we are still collection all the animations for Dave. Got some humorous ones planned that take a bit of time. We just wanted to post what we have at the moment to get people interested in what we are doing. We should have a big update soon with lots of animations.

You've succeeded, in that I'm really interested in what you're doing.  The storyline here is very creative and very compelling for a dark comedy.  Keep us posted!

Looks good. I am definitely looking forward to downloading and playing this. 
*sigh* Why do I punish myself by looking at "Coming Soon" when I know I'm so impatient?

Thank you very much. I'm reading the Divine comedy at the moment, going to try and inject some of that darkness into our game. Whilst keeping it funny :-)

I had the great pleasure to test drive the game last week. The humour was spot on, and the puzzles were very well thought out.

Cover art looks amazing and the design for Dave has tons of personality.  Also, you draw hot women very well.

Hi Folks we have been away for a while working hard on Getting "Go To Hell Dave" published on Steam.

We have just got through the Greenlight process so once the game is finished it will go straight to STEAM (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=109393605&searchtext) (We will be releasing a Stand alone version as well)

(http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc510/sgt_alex41/1537963_506949349424451_1920773981_o_zps78fc0c20.jpg)



So Progress Update: 100% of the Audio for the demo is complete (GTHD is going to be a huge game so it's going to take some time to get all the audio done and dusted)

[Picture of us in the studio with our awesome voice over artist Dom (Plays the character of Dave)

The Audio is currently being coded into the engine.

Trailer is still in the works

and the Opening cut-scene is still being built

Also our Freelance cover and logo artist Kamil was featured in ImagineFX Magazine (Issue 104 January 2014.)

I salute you for reading The Divine Comedy. I found it to be so dry and so political (with references to politically important people from centuries ago). In fact, in some parts of Inferno, the people he describes as having their head stuck in pits and that sort of thing, it's like political satire. Anyway, this game looks nice. I like the strong outlines. Everything looks so waxy. I look forward to it being a dark (but not dry) comedy.
