Looks like quite a task ahead of you guys. Good luck developing the game. I hope you finish it because it looks stunning and the story sounds intriguing!

Nightbreed?

Gee, that was a quick one Yep, it's The Gate.

This is fun!

Big trouble in Little China! One of my favourites with Kurt Russel

In the name of the king?

Well, I finished Shivers 1 years ago but I don't recognize this one so I guess it's Shivers 2.

Correct, CaptainD!! Lost Skeleton. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. True indie comedy gem.

Here goes:

Conan the Barbarian?

Dracula 1, 2 or 3?

HAHAHAHA! Brilliant! Fantastic voices!

Come on, kconan. You found it with Google Images. Admit it

I also wanted to make a point. Where's the fun in posting super old games published just only in one country? I mean, that "German game, based on German novel and published only in Germany" It only grinds the thread to a halt.

Or that Russian plasticine game.

There are many great well-known games to guess. If you want to make it harder cut out interface, or character, or post non-gameplay screenshot. I mean, take that "Death Gate" post for example. It was clever, and I had my slap facepalm "Of course!!!" moment when I saw the answer. And I was hoping to get many of those here. I wish somebody posted a King's Quest V screenshot I could not guess, or some other widely known game. You get the idea.

Clue you say? But of course: it's a nearly 18 year old niche Polish adventure game.

I was hoping for older Poles to come out of the forums shadow for this one

Come on! I know you're out there!

Nobody?

Thanks, selmiak! I'm glad to hear you liked our game

first bunch of

Patience, my friend, patience. There's more to come

[The very first Gribbler's sketch of Bum's alley:]

Hi guys! I got first bunch of trivia and fun facts for you about The Bum:

- Gribbler IS sort of colorblind.
- Gribbler created concept sketches and drew first locations by himself. You can laugh at them below.
(at locations that is, cause sketches aren't that bad I think, or at least I like to think that )
- Busker's dog is a real-life Parafia's dog, named Pixel. He was the dream dog of Parafia and his girlfriend
which they always wanted to have. They got the dog almost the same day the game was released.
- Evil Man Thomas was previously an elderly man and was last minute (although his creation lasted months )
addition to prolong the game.
- The game was a first time (ever) programming task for Gribbler
- Gribbler and Parafia are long time real-life friends. They've known each other for nearly 15 years.
- Years back, first concept for sock personality was to make him resemble Tony Clifton (Andy Kaufman's character)
- Due to the above, the game had many profanities.

Spoiler

- Real Madrid idea was added very late into the production to ground the game in reality. At first,
it was about fictitious team in a extremely low division of some fictitious league

Spoiler

- At the beginnig, like 2007, instead of RJ there was Kaz Hirai, at the time head of Sony Computer Entertainment.
He was supposed to be secret wisdom master, sitting in a cave full of Japanese and samurai themes.

[close]

- Both Gribbler and Parafia are also devoted console gamers
- Tracksuit thug's "demise" was one of the very first ideas for the game and it's based on an old Polish joke.
