It takes about 3 weeks on average. The big ones tend to go just over a month. I reeeeally need to speed up. I said end of year for Chapter II but the math isn't quite working out so far...

The Blackfeather Pope:

Congrats! Looking fantastic!

Thanks! I'm not going to stop you, but I'd advise against using one of the great totems as wallpaper. Who knows what kind of cutlery curse that might bring.

The Puppeteer, who is always willing to share Knobbly Crook lore if you're polite:

Spoiler

Jack would likely hide it under some mark on the floor on the main deck of the ship so he could find it. If you walk over a potential mark, you'll probably hear the squeak.

Thanks! This community is a nice kick in the ass to keep me working on these.

I don't really plan anything. I just draw chaos, which works really well when your game is about chaos

Here's the slide room. Coogal clones are placeholders for three other Knobbcrookians I have yet to draw, just to get an idea of layout.

Great retro style here - looks like it would have been right at home on a console. Must clear schedule to try this out...

Thank you!

Or are they squids?


An invading rock Bogold warrior trapped in paper bindings.

The last time we joined O'Sirus, he was desperate to turn around the legendary Draft Horse and follow the spooky voice's call to the Knobbly Crook. Now we finally join him on the shores of the Crook and O'Sirus is going to have to convince the locals that he's worthy of visiting the upper city, where the spooky face attached to the spooky voice lives. Along the way, he will find out more about his people and earn himself a name, but there will be much trouble-making along the way. 

Update: DONE! Uploading the final build now.

Chapter 2 is well underway and I should be putting up a thread very soon.

And here it is! A proper trailer! (The Knobbly Crook is sitting around 70% on Steam. Thanks for the boost, voters!)

Thanks, it's very appreciated!

Also - I've received a couple of friendly emails pointing out that my "trailer" needs some serious work, and I agree! I'm currently playing around with Premiere to see what I can do. I love how the AGS community supports its own, in fact whenever I stall on production, you people inspire me to start working on it again

Thanks, both of you! I spent a full week with the taste of blood in my throat trying to power through all that gibberish. The main thing I was trying to do is match at least the rhythm of English so it would be easy to read. Some places work very well, others are a bit more chaotic. But! As beings of pure chaos ... it's a perfectly logical illogical language.

Thanks, everybody! It's very appreciated!

Last spam about this, I promise - but the Knobbly Crook has completely flatlined on Steam Greenlight, which is surprising for a high-quality and 100% FREE AGS game. I've been getting (and deleting) feedback along the lines of "NO! Steam doesn't need more low budget games!" which is a pretty crappy thing to say when the Indie community has been rocking it lately. So, if you have friends who may be interested or you haven't voted yet and want to see more point & click exposure, please help me get a little more publicity. I'm stuck at 37% and no new votes are coming in.

Thanks in advance!

The Knobbly Crook is now on Steam Greenlight. If anyone would like to see it there - please send a vote my way. Thanks!

Thanks! I can't say I was ever a Gobliins fan (had never played it until recently), but I too saw a big similarity in our world styles I need to catch up on those games!

The main character is selfish by human standards, but not by Knobbcrookian standards. They are a chaotic new race struggling to survive and they haven't had any real social evolution yet. You'll find out more at the chapters progress--there is a reason for the way they are. In a way, they are still children.

By "thief," do you mean the Melodeen Bard Assassin? Were you playing with the voice pack or without? I can definitely take a look.

Thanks for playing and the kind words!

(on the Patreon thing - first I need to get people to actually play the first Chapter. I'm working on that still (GOG and Steam are my next steps). Once I have some fans, I can better evaluate how people can donate if they want. My main goal is still to provide a fun free game for people to play.)
