Ever wondered what it was like to be a sloth?  Wonder no more!

Creamy, Selmiak and I made "A Sloth for Both Seasons" as an entry to the March 2016 MAGS competition.  You play the role of a female sloth in search of a mate, escape from a predator, find shelter to have your baby, and other slothy stuff.

We may revisit this and expand on the game / put in some of the added detail and animation we didn't have time to at a later stage.  No promises though!

Primary download is GameJolt, mirror is Gdrive.

Game page: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2035/

Does this count as a "game" that Stu has developed?!?! :P

I vote for "Nothing" - it's a real existential experience!

Sorry guys.

But think about it... Who still uses Bebo?

Ah, so that was the hint?  Like the microfilm embedded into the "i" of Rimmer's swimming certificate?  Clever...

AN INSTANT CLASSIC!!!

I just finished playing and it was both beautiful and hilarious!!! And the puzzles are very cool too!

I have just one question about the ending:

(SPOILER ALERT)

Spoiler

If the tortoise becomes the baby sloths' godfather does that mean he has to....

***DRUMROLL***

...shell out the money for college?

***BOOM-CRASH***

(Ya'all be kickin' yourselfs right now wishing you had closed the game on that line right? )

[close]

We will use this on our PR when the redux version goes on sale for £199 per unit...

That joke man... I just have no words to describe it atm!

What a cute idea! And I got an earworm for a long time now, thanks to you, CaptainD & Creamy! It has been so much fun to be that sweet sloth lady

Glad you enjoyed it!

[TOTALLY]

Haha you TOTALLY had me going there!  In my defence it was not yet 1st April in my time zone when I read it

Very glad you'll be sticking around though

I'm edging closer to that, but I refuse to admit it.

Just a few hours remaining. How are the sloths?

Think we'll only get halfway to what we really wanted to do with the game, but it will be playable and, I believe, have people laughing quite a lot.  (Intentionally I hope!)

Well... if that's really what you want to do, of course you should do it.  But I really don't think that being a game designer is actually a prerequisite of being a great forum member (which is how I think of you).

[very]

I'm slightly behind the pace here, but just wanted to say - that is a very good Kickstarter page.

The visuals are incredible!  Giving this one a try, even I can find 5-10 minutes.

This is definitely something that I might be interested in at some point in the future.  Thanks for letting us know!

Gah double-posted accidentally, can't seem to delete this thing now

Grats on the release, this looks pretty impressive and I may just have to play it despite not being into horror at all...

(I particularly like your use of many SFX )

I don't recognise it.  The main character sprite made me think of Teen Agent but the graphics weren't as good, and I think that had a Polish developer not Finnish.  So I'm drawing another blank I'm afraid!

Imagine the lag.

I just have to share this... it was part of the inspiration for the game:

a "sloth survival game" could be kinda fun maybe! )

It would certainly be a slow game.

I guess we could maybe do something along the lines of "Sim Brick"!

Is it like an eviromental sim kinda thing: a sloth survival game....or is it an adventure game where you're a sloth?!

It's an AG.  (Though in the future, a "sloth survival game" could be kinda fun maybe! )

And can we go into those ruins?! Indiana Sloans (Slow'uns to be really on-the-nose)?!

I'm afraid you'll have to wait and see....

Finally, a screenshot!  Our game is coming along very nicely.
