I'm having a problem trying to download the demo from filefront. Whenever I click on the link it just reverts to the home page.

Get it from Davidnagel's website, the link is in the first post.

Big update in the first post BTW guys. Sorry I've been a bit quet on this front lately - I've had a lot of personal life upheaval recently and have had little time to do much with this game. However, it's still ongoing and I'm now tentatively giving March 31st 2008 as the final release date. This is, as with everything, subject to change...but any further delays and I'll post them here.

just a few words:

YAY!

A great game that is worth the wait.

Those backgrounds really KILL. Good job.. Waiting to download when it' readyy..

Sslaxx · Thu 08/11/2007 08:15:48

Hurry up March...

Ooooh. Glad to see some progress duckbutcher, hope everything is okay at home.

Website updated/redesigned. Enjoy.

I've played the first two episodes, and I was thoroughly impressed, and I'm definetly hooked. I see you've progressed a bit since then, so I definetly can't wait for the full release. Looks like spring 2008 is going to be littered not only with major music releases, but also with major game releases. The best of luck to ya, Duckbutcher, you are definetly brilliant in my book for making this game, you've definetly got my vote in the AGS Awards

. Steam on, by all means!

Dear OP,
I love you.

Sincerely, a huge Who nerd.

Sslaxx · Mon 19/11/2007 15:19:14

Yup, this is definitely one of the more promising things I've seen around lately!

chaos4700 · Tue 20/11/2007 00:22:19

Oh wow. Did you go back and redo some of those backgrounds? They are, in a word, fantastic!

Also, I'm honored I could contribute to the project in some small way.

Cirius · Sun 25/11/2007 08:32:46

Likewise. Sorry you haven't heard from me in months, I've been out the country, and without the wonders of the internet.

The progress you've made in the few months I've been away is absolutely staggering. I've PAID up to Â£30 for games that look worse than this.

If you're still in need of the updated daleks, let me know, and I'll dig them out for you, but by the looks of things, you're pretty much well set. My time is still open to any proof-reading/testing you need doing, so let me know if you need anything.

I'd just like to say that I've played through most of the first episode now and I'm absolutely blown away. I cannot wait for the final game. Great work, Duckbutcher!

PBantonox · Wed 05/12/2007 19:34:41

Brilliant game, Duckbutcher, I'm hooked!

I didn't really notice any major bugs while playing- except one.

When you're in the glyph corridor in the ship, if you open a letter, when you put it away, you're stuck in the wall at the far left of the hallway. However, if you open the letter and put it away once more, you're back where you started. O_o

I can't wait for March!

Cyrus · Wed 12/12/2007 09:18:57

Wonderful! Reminds me of Indy. Can't wait to see it finished!

ShadeJackrabbit · Mon 17/12/2007 21:48:56

Looking great! Those graphical updates really make it look better! Can't wait for that release...

davidnagel · Wed 06/02/2008 23:11:19

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.

Just a quick update about the site, I have removed the old Demo1 (Episode One) because it wasn't required since it was superceded by Demo2 (Episode One and Episode Two) which, lets hope, is superceded again by the complete game.

I wonder, duckbutcher, will there be a musicless version of the game should people not want to download big ZIP files? For example, Demo2 is 40mb in size...

Duckbutcher · Sun 17/02/2008 01:44:10

Hmm, I'll keep it in mind. I honestly hadn't thought about the potential file size of the finished game, but it's likely to be huge. Is there any way to compress the music files so they don't take up much space? Hey, I'm a bit behind when it comes to technology.

I'm not going to make that March deadline, by the way. Probably. Sorry guys. I will stress that work on the game is ongoing, and hopefully it WILL be worth the wait when the full game finally materializes with that familiar wheezing-groaning sound...

In the meantine, there are now TWO (count 'em) other Doctor Who games in the works on this very board! So one of us should have something out in the next few months at least...

davidnagel · Mon 18/02/2008 14:44:57

Thanks for the updates Duck. I had noticed it was awfully quiet here, did wonder if another of my posts killed this thread! Oh dear!

Shame about the no March deadline - do you think you'll beat the new series to airing?

Sslaxx · Mon 18/02/2008 14:50:52

Any ETA, Duckbutcher?

Serth · Sat 03/05/2008 17:51:02

I noticed that we are past the posted ETA. Yesterday I was about to start playing the demo but decided to wait for the full thing. Has been a new ETA decided yet?

BTW, from the little I saw in the demo it looks like a great game, congrats

PBantonox · Mon 23/06/2008 22:37:13

Apparently he's lost his interest in Doctor Who, according to a post he made on the doctorwhoforum.com boards. :'(

I hope he decides to finish this project anyway, since it's an amazing effort, and has gone beyond anything I've seen anyone else do. Here's hoping, which is all I can do at this point.

Duckbutcher, please give us at least a sign? That way we're not left hanging?
