CaptainD has posted some *exclusive*(!) screenshots for Boryokudan Rue on IndieGameNews: http://www.indiegamenews.com/2010/03/exclusive-screenshots-from-boryokudan.html

Hey, not so much with the exclamation marks...  I've got to try to make screenshots sound exciting somehow!! 

I'm really hoping there'll be room for:

Albert
Ace Rimmer
Lister's socks
Rimmer's mother
Stasis pods

This could be awesome... will Lister learn to play the guitar in this game?!? 

Really, really looking forward to seeing how this one progresses.

(Sadly) I had a dream last night that this game was out & ready to play!  Gahhhh.....

That sounds a bit obsessive and just a little creepy... 

Just goes to show how much people are looking forward to this game though!

You can never have too many Indy games! 

If you manage to make this game into what you're evidently aiming for, it's gonna be pretty damn amazing.  I may just have to interview you on my blog after you release this.    :

Looking good so far! 

[UPDATE:]

UPDATE:
Okay, school's been hectic, but I've managed to get these up, showcasing the most recent backgrounds and my new, buggy and incomplete GUI!
I expect it will be a while before I update again, but I'll keep working on it.

Yay, buggy and incomplete GUI!   

This is beginning to look good, I'm glad to hear you're still working on it.  Just think of the feeling of accomplishment when you release the completed game!  (Something I'm never likely to achieve myself... :)

For the record, I also think the graphics are fine.  If anyone complains about them, just roll your eyes and tell them that you deliberately made them retro.  That should shut them up - retro is cool (officially). 

Very nice little game, awesome graphics and music, some great puzzles packed into a small game! 

Looks cool, downloading now  8)

Found 3 endings btw - are there any more?

Since we're talking reviews...

I've just posted my review of The Marionette -  http://captaind-pc-gaming.blogspot.com/2009/11/freeware-adventure-game-review.html

Sorry if the formatting of that review looks a little strange - it'll be odd in lower screen resolutions.  I blame Blogger! 

Seriously, this was a fantastic game, one of the best AGS games I've played this year - or, come to think of it, ever (and I don't even like the genre you chose to make a game about!)

Wow - this is an incredible game.  Great graphics and music, good puzzles, strong writing and amazing storyline. 

Yay!  I was looking out for this one... hundreds of Star Wars games around, Star Trek hasn't had too many (so far...)

I know I'm just repeating everyone else, but that looks superb.  Really looking forward to this game. 

It's ready with the first plan, but the plan has changed in the meantime. Anyway, I want you guys to know I'm working on some suggestions on the interface and all, and I'm going to have a short demonstration really soon.

I just know you're going to hate me for this, but...

How soon is really soon?  :o

Thanks a lot.. thats the wat to go ) i did it !!

Glad to help!  Enjoy the game.

Duzz - the shooter sequence had me puzzled for a little while, as did the giant robot... another very entertaining game, thanks! 

~~~Direct3D 9 (albeit only in 640x480
~~Config" from the DuzzQuest2 entry in your windows start menu:
~~Graphics driver: DirectDraw 5
~~-graphics filter: 2x nearest-neighbour filter.
~~-Smooth scaled sprites [this is an optional setting not necessary]
Guys..all above is dark forest to me ) :o
Even if i configure it after hours trying..i will never return sistem back to normal..i will simply forget wat i did ) No..no way..
Thanks..you v been very kind to advise..i really thankfull to all of you..but i can t do this..
Respect,.

One last try... have you tried simply unticking the "Run in a window instead of full-screen" at the top left of the config box, then pressing Save & Run?

Can run it in fullscreen fine in Vista by setting it to use Direct3D 9 (albeit only in 640x480).  Run the config.exe as an Administrator or it doesn't stick though.

By the way, I LOVED the animations! They were superb!

Yup, the animations were special.  But the whole game was good.
