Cassie makes a good point. Extra options are always a bonus. :)

Chicky

Thanks for your input all :) We're going to go with B for the time being and if we have the time we will add an option to switch between the two styles. Adding the option is a lot more than just creating the GUI switch, sadly; We'd have to test both systems extensively to ensure they don't cause any bugs that can only be replicated with one style of mouseover (it also involves redesigning the way our inventory windows and subtitled dialogue work, which could cause other conflicts. Best to settle with the majority vote I think, also my personal preference ;)

Hold up! An update?

Heck yeah!

Guard Duty has a brand new trailer! Check it out below:



I'm also very happy to announce that Guard Duty will be coming this Spring to Windows, Mac and Linux on Steam! Wishlist the game at the following link:

We're super close to launch now and I couldn't have done it without the support of good folk like yourselves. Thank you!

It's on my Wishlist now.  Looks fantastic!  The new trailer is great, but the voice was a little hard to hear over the music.  Still got me very excited about the game, though!

It's looking better and better with each screenshot and gif animation, can't wait to finally try it out! :D

Chicky

So many kind words from you all! We really appreciate the support  :) I'm glad to hear the Discworld vibes are coming through and thank you to those who have wishlisted over on Steam  ;-D

A release date announcement is coming soon! We recently sent out the preview build to a bunch of press folk and have had some lovely responses so far.

This one came in yesterday and it seems the writer really got what we were going for: https://vulturehound.co.uk/2019/03/carry-on-camelot-guard-duty-pc-preview/

So much awesomeness going on in that gif! That guy being terrible at darts is a nice touch as well!

Damn I need to get you on the Silver Spook podcast again in the near future before release of Guard Duty!

Chicky

Some of you who follow along on Twitter may have heard the news but if not... this is a big one!

We announced today that Guard Duty will be coming to Windows, Mac and Linux on May 2nd! Eeeeeee! I can't wait to make the Complete Games Announcement thread  :-D

That's wonderful news Chicky.  Really excited!   :grin:

So how will the DRM-free release be distributed?  GOG?  Direct Download  Itch.io?  Humble Bundle?
