I got to ask. Why a Polish surname?

Bill named him Grabowski because that's the nickname for Chicago Bears football fans. (Bill grew up in Chicago.)

Bill wrote in one of our updates, "Demigod coach Mike Ditka came up with that name, probably due to the fact that Grabowski is a common working class name in Chicago, where a lot of Polish immigrants settled. It seems like a great name for a big linebacker-sized tough guy -- and Chicago is known as the 'city of big shoulders,' and Duke has some pretty big shoulders."

Selmiak, glad you like the look! Our Kickstarter was successful and we "enjoyed" a dramatic finish.
Cat, we respect your opinion, and hope our final product will speak for itself.

This is a WIP of the interior of the Inn. The contrast has been increased here to bring out the lighter details.

If Duke rows away, he'll never become a swashbuckler. Give up or go on?

We need your help to make this game!

A deadly jungle shortcut. What beasts or brigands will confront Duke here?

Our Kickstarter campaign ends October 6th!

Here, Duke wrestles a hat-wearing gorilla. (Contrast increased to bring out the detail.)

You got it, Fitz!

Here's another Bill Tiller background in progress:

Don't you want to see this in color someday?

Here's the office of Sheriff Nancy Steele, where Duke must plead his case. He's going to need your help negotiating.

Can you find the LucasArts detail that Bill snuck in?

Help bring this to life by backing our Kickstarter!

WIP background for Duke Grabowski. This is the inn where Duke meets Jane, a true swashbuckler.
