In a way I'm glad you never finished it though, becuase from the looks of it no one would have even looked at my effort!

On the contrary, the artwork in your game is great - especially in the second episode.
I've just completed the second episode and I have to say, whilst mine might have looked pretty, it wouldn't have been as entertaining or challenging as yours. I may be an artist but I'm no game designer!

I love the way you've handled the TARDIS interior too. Being able to jump from one room to another is much better than having to navigate a maze of corridors in realtime. Nice one.
I especially like the library. The fact that you can go up to the balcony is a nice touch.

...and the Dark Knight returns really is Frank Miller's finest hour

...And lo! 'twas done.

Loads of images and artwork plus both AGAST and Dark BASIC demos to download. On top of all that, a Dalek 3D screensaver. See how much I love you all?

...And there IS a Save/Load feature! Press F5. I'm not sure I put this in the 'Readme' to be honest, so sorry about that!...

Ah! That could very well be me not paying attention. Real Dads don't read instructions and all that.
Sorry!

Actually, all this has inspired me. Whilst I'm not entertaining any ideas of reviving the project, I might put a page up on my website with all the concept art and design work from my game.

The original 3d Doctor Who Adventure Game was created by a chap called Scarecrow (didn't get his real name)

The site went down years ago, but there was a demo released of the game, featuring a 3d Tom Baker Doctor in 3d environments, outside the TARDIS was some 2d aliens.

So, Geoffkhan, if you're interested, I do have this original demo released. I do not know how I stand on redistribution, or even if I'm allowed! I'd rather see if Scarecrow reads this and tells me otherwise! But I think the chap passed away awhile ago - i don't know so don't hold me to it.

That'll be me, then!

Wow! I came across this project whilst reading Mr Butchers' Series 4 speculative plot synopsis list on Outpost Gallifrey. and I'm just blown away. You've done it, Mr Butcher. You've made the game I always wanted to make but never found the time to do it.

As Mr Nagel says, I released a demo - literally two rooms - made in AGAST many moons ago (and feel free to distribute as you wish Mr Nagel)  before discovering Dark Basic and starting over in 3D. I made a couple of models (Police Box, TARDIS control room, Dalek Tom Baker and a Cyberman) and it just sort of sat there not being made for a very long time before I conceded the fact that I'd bitten off so much I couldn't even fit it in my mouth, never mind chew it.

All that remains of my feeble effort now is a render of the console room on my Deviant Art gallery.

All the best with your game, DuckButcher. I absolutely love it.

PS - if you're not going to seperate each episode into an individual game then can you please - for the love of god - include a save/load option!!!?
