The download is 176mb, and features:
» 20 playable rooms
» 40 mins of original MIDI or MP3 music
» Guest artwork
» More than 50 teh sound effect!
» Extended ending
» NPC's that don't walk

Note: I decided not to disable skipping speech, but please be aware, if you do skip speech by clicking mouse (or pressing ESC in a cut scene to skip it), you'll knock the dialogue and music timings out of kilter. For the best experience, let the dialog roll! Just so you know

Not suitable for kids!
There's strong language & silly puzzles - but no known critical errors. A couple of music playing errors but that's AGS 2.72's fault, not mine!

Understandably, as this is just made for fun - it's not heavily polished. I'm sure you'll find some missing interactions. The whole thing is made up of pretty lackluster art. And everything I learned whilst making Lost In Paradise...I haven't applied to this game at all I've used old slapdash methods and did all the testing myself so if you have any problems please let me know! NOTT was just to get me back into the mood of games design & now I'm going to push harder at it than ever before. Expect to see some more sensible games in the near future

Thanks to everyone who helped make this exist! The question is - should it?  

Special thanks to Boob304 & Gilbert CHEEEUNG for being good sports  8) And everyone else the game abuses..

Keep an eye out for the special edition, which will be more polished, and will include the special features, improved art and dialogue.

PS: For clarity - there is no sexual imagery in the game. Just a walkin', talkin', quest solvin' bollock.

Let's go! At last a philosophical AGS game. Thanks Mods.

[m0ds]

To the city! Thanks David

[edmundito]

Mods, dunno what else to say: you're a genius of crudeness.

[Igor Hardy]

That was an awesome explosion! Currently at the professor's.

[Gilbert]

Hehe. Because of this I finally have something under "My games" in my profile page, after all these years.

[m0ds]

Igor - glad you like the Hollywood special FX!! Timed puzzle for you ahead... lol

Iceyboty - Yes! Finally! Your first credit! I noticed that yesterday too! :o Thanks for finding those ancient photos, Governor Cheung

Ed - Thanks! I think  :

[abstauber]

Incredible how much effort you've put into this - and even more that I'm currently highly entertained

[Gilbert]

Heh The timer ran too fast! Took me tries to get past it.

I'm currently stuck anyway.

Spoiler

I'm in the past with my previous self blocking the way and the past future governor rolling on the ground and I don't know what to do.

[close]

I don't want hints yet though, hopefully I can find the way out on my own.

Ahh, a minor bug perhaps...or just bad coding on my behalf. Something I'll need to rectify in the SE.

Spoiler

You'll need to stay out of his way. I didn't think about what happens if you just 'stand' there..

[close]

Dirk - thanks! Too much effort perhaps

[m0ds]

****!!!! Gilbert's error is a bit of a showstopper. Better fix that now  

Download isn't available for a couple of hours (til 6am GMT)

Fixed.

Also made some minor improvements elsewhere. Store your save games , re-download & load a saved game from an earlier point. Sorry about that 

As I mentioned before though, if you still have v1.0 and saved before this point in the game, you can:

Spoiler

Just move down out of 'your' way to keep the game rolling

[close]

[Gilbert]

Great, so it's not my inability in ruling this game .

Re-downloading.

Edit: Beat it already. Nice ending.

Nice one Gilbert! Thanks for playing. Just one question -

Spoiler

Did you bother to lay the item at the end or not?

[close]

[Gilbert]

Spoiler

Did you mean the items that prevent the rolling fool to become the next governor? Is that necessary to win the game? I thought I would get a game over if I didn't do so. maybe I'll load up the save game and see what happens when the timer expires.

[close]

[m0ds]

Thanks!

Spoiler

Just interested to see what path you might have taken. But yep, let that one roll for 1 min extra fun

[close]

[Gilbert]

Yep. I see it now, but the result isn't much different, unless...

Spoiler

there is a way to NOT be so kind to Mr Bum.

[close]

BUT:

Spoiler

It seems that you don't need to really put the item on the ground. Just talk to the rolling man without laying the item could lead to the same result. This minor glitch doen't break anything though. There are several other minor glitches (which is understandable considering that the game is not supposed to be very polished, one that I can remember is that you can go to the side of Jizz Corp, even when the angry mob are still there. It doesn't break anything though.

[m0ds]

I see, thanks for the notes, dude. Nasty globular ints! I didn't know about that one... It was only tested by me in the end and was taking several minutes for AGS to save and run it every time. But thanks! Consider yourself an un-credited tester, too

Spoiler

The result is exactly the same yep

Nice and funny, but it hung on my computer after the timed sequence (if there are more than one: the first one). Screen went black with sound only (I guess that bit was on purpose?) but then there was just silence and non-responsiveness and I had to kill the process. You don't happen to have a savegame of anywhere near before this point, do you?

Also if it helps for debugging: I was just about to leave the room when the timer went off, so maybe the beginning of the cutscene interfered with the ChangeRoom or something.

[m0ds]

Thanks Tomatos! Hmm, could that be the video file causing you a problem? I've not been able to re-create the error. That section is a real mess - I will have to make a new version asap. You can re-enter the building which kind of mucks it up if the timer is running, and Gilbert's comment about being able to reach the side-bit early led me to try but that caused no hanging for me when entering the timed sequence a second and third time. What sounds did you hear? I honestly haven't tested visiting anywhere else on the map during that sequence so something like that may mess up the programming. Otherwise you're probably onto something about the changeroom command having a tiz, but it's a hard one to re-create..!

Anyway, there's a save game here but I'm not sure if it will work because it's from an updated unreleased version. Give it a try. Thanks for letting me know about your issues

[TomatoesInTheHead]

Thanks for the savegame, restoring in this version works.
Now I've just waited till the timer went off without doing anything, but still the same problem, so it has nothing to do with the room change, but with the video file, as you said. Did you use a different codec for this video? All the other videos in the game worked fine.
The sounds I hear are from

Spoiler

a massive, probably city-wide, explosion

[close]

, so maybe only the audio from the video plays. It ends a bit abrupt though, after around 8-9 seconds, don't know if that's normal.
