The Vacuum

[Dave1985]

How can you enter the captain's cabin in this game? By the time I get the key, I also find the evidence that makes it undoubtable who the culprit was and the game doesn't let me explore around anymore because "THERE'S NO TIME!".

Just finished all or at least most endings (I guess).. I really loved the graphix, the story was also great..
But personally I'm not a fan of multiple endings, but that's more because I have to see them all..

Also for these kind of games I'm not a fan of using words like 'sh*tting' and 'f*ck', I don't think they make the game any better, but even worse as some people might be offended by them.. I personally don't mind, but not using those immature words makes it a lot better for a wider audience..

Really hope to see another one, as I said, I loved the look.. Next time, maybe some more puzzles, less multiple routes/endings..

Thanx for making such a great adventure..

My very congratulations for your game,

since I was betatester to this final version, I need to congratulate for your good work making a Hard-scifi game that make me think in great RPG settings like Traveller or any common but good sci-fi setting.


I have some problem too with the multiple ending, This what I said you tu number the endings, to make sure that a expensive-time player Can see all of the endings and he knows he had.

congrats

My wonderful friend zenechka made a fanart for the game. I hope you all enjoy it!

Isn't it lovely?

[herman-the-handyman]

yeah, that's my fanart.
I hope it's okay >_>   <_<

tell me guys what you think about it.

I love the game so much :3

[kaputtnik]

Hey, I like that style! Fanart, now that's something!

[punxkeg]

I played through for one ending, i really liked it, i got a kind of a "fire fly" vibe from it, which was great  .
will play through again, and try and solve the mystery next time 8).

Cheers!

I think you could have done a lot more with it. This game had the potential to be a 7 days-esque horror thing, but you sorta made it sound like that thing that happens to your parents that they insist on telling you about while your trying to play video games or whatever.

My point is I would have been happier if there was some sort of external killer like a undead thing or some sort of escaped serial killer. Also I liked the zombie chase thing from 7 days and since that's the only space oriented AGS game I've played, it scared the hit out of me the first time my girl followed me through the door.

Interesting, this game was available on one of the Swedish PC Gamer DVDs. I played it of course and I really liked it! This was one of the few PaC games I've finished, it was a really fun experience I tell you, and the story was nice! I can't remember how many murders I prevented though. ^^

The game has been on my hard drive for a while now, and I finally got time to play it through! And I'm glad I did. Really great stuff, and very intriguing story. I love the setting.

Are you serious? You'd think they'd tell me about that before they just slapped it on there. You think you might be able to send me a .iso file or something somewhere so I can take a look? I'd like to see what they had to say about it. Was it just on the CD or was there something in the mag, too?

Thank you very much for the fanart, too, seeing something like that is an awesome feeling.

There was no description on your game in particular, but the game was included on the DVD. I don't feel very comfortable uploading a 7 gib DVD here, so I took a screenshot of the folder containing the Vacuum.

Huh, crazy. Guess I'm famous? (Thanks!)

[Gamejelly]

Still, you'd have thought they'd have atleast told you before-hand?

[raitendo]

Does anybody know how to get in touch with the author, "Makeout Patrol"? His website is down and his e-mail isn't listed...

[arj0n]

eehhm, PM him and wait for reaction?

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but as David's page is still down and it seems he can't be reached, I've put up a new link to the final version.

This one contains the english original and the german and italian translations. The package is configured to run in german, so if you want to play english or italian, run winsetup.exe and change to default for english or to italian.

If someone still has the french translation (that's not included in my package), please PM me.

Hey folks. I suppose I was nowhere to be found for a while! I have, however, put up a web site that I intend to keep around pretty much permanently, so I've updated the games page about this game and uploaded the newest, most complete version to my web site and provided a working link to it. I'm really pleased to see that people are still playing this game almost two years later.

If you want the most recent link, here it is:

I have not yet finished it, or even made it that far yet (haven't really played any AGS games in a long time), but it is a fantastic game that I do plan on finishing. You did an excellent job and I am not suprised people are still playing it.

[qptain Nemo]

Makeout Patrol, let me say that I'm rejoicing about your return and your site being up again! I can't respect you more than I do for making this game. Well, at least until you make next another awesome game. And I really really do hope you will. Keep us informed!
