A stunning background (as I've come to expect from you guys!).Ã,Â I have a few crits, but as this isn't the CL, I'll keep 'em to myself!

I like the name of the town 'Old Sierra' ... is this a tribute to company Sierra?Ã,Â If so, nice touch.Ã,Â And the name fits perfectly in the context of the game's setting (either way).

I can almost hear the dry wind blowing and see the tumble weed bouncin' down the desserted streets ...

Feel free to PM me or email me with your crits... always looking to improve, if not this screen then at least not to make the same mistake for future screens.

It is a tip of the cap to Sierra On-line. There are a bunch of these scattered throughout the game, actually. I think I might set up a little contest when the game is released to see who can find all of the easter eggs.

Look for the next Adventure Architect design journal at AdventureGamers.com in August.

Looks fantastic from everything you've shown so far. Really looking forwards to this one.
And is there an approximate date you think when the game will be completed? Best wishes, and keep up the good work.

Right now we're leaning toward releasing the game in four periodic episodes, each with a cliffhanger ending reminiscent of the old Saturday afternoon adventure serials that inspired this idea. We're looking at Summer 2005 for Episode I. (We don't plan to release it until it's perfect, so we're being conservative with the date at this point.)

I don't want you all to forget about us, or think we're not working our butts off to bring you the best damn Wild West point 'n' click comedy-adventure freeware game ever... so with that in mind, I present you with a recently completed background screen!

Whattaya think?

Can't really think clearly right now... :o

That picture simply rocks!

The Jackalopes ears look a bit funny, but then again, you put a jackalope in your game, so its even. Such a wonderful background. Promotions all around.

Coming along. I wish it would go a little faster, to be honest, but we at least make a little progress every week. I'm still very optimistic about a 2006 release. Right now, the big holdup is coding. I'm dreadful at it, but I keep chipping away. $:-\$

Meanwhile, it's full speed ahead on chapter two, as you can see from the scene above!

wow! first time i see this! its simply amazing! i was wondering when adventuring gaming was going to go wild west.
(although, wasnt there a tex char somewhere . . )

anyway, absolutely astounding! and you guys have a real professional website going on there.

i k a r i · Sat 05/11/2005 22:28:04

Mordalles you have to be happy, those who saw this since the first time chapter11 announce it are literally going CRAZY to play this!...I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT!!!...anyway...I know the wait will be worthy...I'm sure of that... this will end up being a professional (and free) old style adventure game, a classic...

Good luck Josh Roberts, and all the chapter11 crew...

PS: hurry please

I really love the look/feel/plot of this game, but I think the talk button in the GUI should change. I mean, all it is is a resized version of Jake's head, it's not too clear that it should be used for talking. Other things can be found on heads besides mouths!

Anyway, keep up the awesome work.

Wow, it's beautiful. I can't wait!
