(To the tune of Waltzing Matilda)
In West Australia, near the town of Doodlakine,
Lived young Ben Chandler, a good man was he,
And he kept all his candy, in a little metal tin,
Ben Chandler's Sweets Tin was something to see
Oh no! Ben's sweets tin has gone missing! How will he ever enjoy life without his delicious candy?!
This is where you, the player, come in. Guide young Ben Chandler (aka Ben304) through the wild and rugged Australian wilderness as he goes searching for his beloved tin. Who knows, he might even encounter some paranormal phenomena along the way.

Now that's the sign of quality storytelling. The viewer experiences the full range of human emotions!
Based on a true story?
:D
Haha :D Great concept.
Great stuff! Will I finally get to know Ben ouside in? :=
Most of the stuff you see is reasonably well researched, so perhaps :=
You play the accordeon?
A real hard challenge without any sweets to be solved â€" funny idea! ;D
Since Chandler is outed now as AGS'er in your screenie,
he deserved to be saved and I will be sure to have enough sweets aside me while playing ...
and a lot of coffee to be able to make it through (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smiley_faces/birgits-tired-coffee-smiley-face.gif?1302011313)

Not only that, but the instrument in the game is modeled on the exact one that I own (http://i.imgur.com/c25Tw.jpg). 8)

Now
that's nice to watch (http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/userpics/12962/ja.gif)
(... and I won't answer any questions about how this is to be meant ;))
YES. This looks fantastic. I am looking forward to hearing what Ben has to say about his lack of sweets. Remember: Add more LEGO!
Hooray, Can't wait to voice Minge Patterson :)
Hah, I'd forgotten how much Ben looks like a character from Grease! xD

Haha :D Great concept.
IN FACT BEST CONCEPT OF ALL TIME, THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO BAD.
Is your room really that empty, Ben? I expected to see stacks of porn tapes everywhere and taxidermy snakes and at least one sheep skin rug!
Let's stay on target here people...
You had me at Grim Fandingo.
They had me at G'Day of the Tentacle. :D
Personally, I'm assuming that the giant mountain of porn is in the foreground, blocking off the rest of the shack (?) and preventing us from exploring the bedroom, the bath, or the kitchen. No sir, young Ben has all he needs in that one un-pornified corner of the shack: a computer, a musical instrument, and a door to go exploring the outside world in the never ending search for fresh porn. :=
I tried clicking on the NPC, the door, the accordion, the light...nothing seems to work. I'm stuck. Please help.
Well. Once Grundislav has made a game about a man-whore. A great, fun game, mind. And now he's making another one with the very same premise. Oh boy, personally I'm simply overjoyed!
Love the Aussie theme! Posters cracked me up. ;D
I am personally offended by the blatant Australian stereotyping.
Ryan Keepence

Tobias Walker.

What's with all of the Australians?
Robert Wriedt
Australian
We breed with sheep, somehow maintaining a population that way. :P
But anyways, I'm really looking forward to some fantastically tacky stereotypes, so don't let me down!
Also, for what it's worth, I'd be happy to throw my voice at a microphone for a good cause like this. ;)
Australians up in arms already? My goal is complete!
Rile up your anger further as you check the first post for a musical update!

Didn't you do it by yourself above in the first post ???
Where the hell did all these Australians come from? Are we really letting that sort in our nice, clean forums now? They're sure to get kangaroo poo and vegemite all over everything. Goodness, there goes the neighborhood. ;)
Do we have to catch and shear sheep too in this game?
I am in need of someone who has a good quality microphone and can do a good Tim Curry impersonation. If you think you fit the bill, please get in touch with me at grundislav@hotmail.com.
Thanks!
Double post?! Gasp!
Anyway, the game is fully playable and (hopefully) bug-free. It just needs a couple of minor cosmetic touches, but I will be sending a final build out at the end of the weekend.

Yay! It's all coming full circle! Cake and sweets and Australian voice acting!
