soft deadline is September 2010. Quite a nice long time to get everything just right..as things always evolve and change the longer you spend with them :)
If I've missed any info, gimme a shout
I like the art style, and REALLY like the interface for some reason. Very cool.

Ok, it's had a slight revamp, and I've linked a demo.
It's a little large, but should take a good few minutes to get through.
Unfortunately there's still no sound, and the movie intro is quite rubbish (unreadable)..but it's a work in progress.
Please comment, I'm more than happy to recieve some decent criticism.

Hey buddy, figured you deserved a reply!
Take this how you want (you wanted criticism!) but it seems to me like you have a very established and stylised technique about your artwork that is both unique and functional. I really like the loose vector style of your backgrounds but the vulgar humour really doesn't sit well with me. I find it it almost offensive, a line like 'I'm not wanking while YOU'RE watching!' screams immature and inappropriate. You don't have to listen to me but i get the impression that this is the reason for your lack of replies, i think a more established and less blatantly offensive style of humour would be appropriate. I haven't played the demo but why not elaborate on the story a little more, write something that will make me want play until the end, write characters that are both vulgar and likeable (think Peter Griffin, Quagmire etc).
I may be wrong and you might have the humour spot on in the demo, but this is just the impression i got from your thread.
Best of luck finishing, i'm enthralled with those backgrounds so i will sure be playing the finished product!
Thanks Chicky, appreciate the honesty,
There's quite a bit of gratuitous vulgarity in the game, and my beta testers found the game quite fun.
Though i can imagine it's not everyone's cuppa :)
