Just not ringing any bells with me, sorry...

Nice one! Link sent to nieces and nephews

Let's hope they'll still speak to you after this...

Updated first post - man so much of that was well out of date, I should have done that a long time ago.  Sorry!

(Also - thanks Shaun! )

Found the pesky bug and corrected it.  Updated the download on Gamejolt and Dropbox.

Hope your little one enjoys it!

Ah, yeah, seems that bug is there, I can't find anymore cages but it still not letting me pass through.

GAH... will let you know when I have fixed it and uploaded a new version.  Sorry about that... was very careful with testing, I really don't know how this happened!!

It seems like it's just a slice of a story. Almost like reading a chapter in middle of a book without enough of the beginning or continuation of the story. It would be great if it could be expanded that way.

Shadow, I think I can say with confidence that if we manage to turn our plans into reality on this one, it's going to make you very, very happy

Looking good Shaun!  Hope development goes well.

Thanks Shaun

I'm just tying up details of a pre-order / investment plan for the game using the crytpocurrency that sponsors it, "GoldPieces".  I don't know how much interest this will generate in the crypto community, and suspect that very few regular gamers are going to want to invest in an altcoin (basically any type of cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin) just to pre-order our game.  But we feel it's something worth pursuing, especially as it will be (to the very best of our knowledge, "us" including the dev of GoldPieces) a world first.

I have posted about this and another Captain Disaster related update on the dev blog that people who've played the other CD game (Dark Side of the Moon) might be interested in: http://www.captaindisasterthecomputergame.com/2016/03/updates.html

Your artwork is absolutely incredible.  It actually jumps out of the monitor screen at you!  (Especially the Toxic Shack.)

Here are the nominees.  I need to make the formatting match other years', but you'll get the gist of it.

Thanks AGA!

Hi Daz!

I was wondering what had become of your and your game.  Looks good, all the best for the Kickstarter, I've featured your game on my PC gaming blog which I hope will give you a little more exposure (don't get many visitors so don't expect too much, but might give a little assistance!).

[A Sloth for Both Seasons]

Okay folks we are ready to announce - we have a game!  IT's getting there... (mainly thanks to Creamy) - I think Selmiak's doing something (where are you mate?!) - and I've definitely been involved, I'm almost sure of it.

Anyway, our game is... A Sloth for Both Seasons

Set in the Amazon rain forest, you play a female sloth who has to do... sloth-type things.  Slowly.  Well there's more, but for now I'm not going to tell you, as it would spoil things.

Features:
- Flight of the Amazon Queen style graphics
- Animal noises made by me!
- Puzzles of a puzzling nature
- Some degree of accuracy in terms of what happens in the natural world
- An accelerated day / night cycle to reflect the sloth's slow actions (if we made the player character incredibly slow it would drive everyone nuts, so we've made the player speed normal and the world around her faster)
- If you're really unlucky, you might find I've performed a short song


In the Amazon there are only two seasons - the Dry Season and the Wet Season.  Both of these will be portrayed in the game.  (We were actually planning the traditional 4 seasons before realising this!)

@CaptainD. Is it 400 Years? That came to my mind in an instant too Maybe a good inspiration for participants

You'll have to wait and see - but I think we're nearly ready to give out some details.  It's not the game you mentioned though, I hadn't heard of that until about ten seconds ago when I visited the "Name the Game" thread!

I feel oddly compelled to play this

There's a catch...

I see what you did there...

Hmm... something could have gone wrong I guess, but Mark will be able to confirm if your nominations have been received.

[You've already nominated]

Cassie do you have this message at the top of your page? 
"AGS Awards nominations close at 17:59 GMT on Tuesday 15 March 2016. You've already nominated, so you've got 2 days and 20 hours left to wait before nominations close!"

I think it's done so you can re-nominate if you want.  What I'm not sure about is whether what you nominate after your first set is added to what you've already nominated, or completely replaces it.

Okay it's a real shame to see no posts here?!?!

Anyway, possibly too early to say definitely, but Creamy, Selmiak and I may have something... hope to be able to elaborate next week.

The Last Starfighter?

More screenshots... I think we're done now.  Will be sending the updated screenshot pack to adventure game sites etc soon.  Will be updating the first post in this thread with the up-to-date screenshots and information too.  I also need to give the dev blog a bit of a rehash and update it more frequently.

These are all partial screenshots - we don't want to give too much away, but we want to show you as much of the game in action as possible.
