Are we doing just one vote or concept/playability/artistic execution?

To be fair: I still draw elephants like that. That's one thing I haven't learned to do properly yet.

You'll get there. I believe in you.

Here are a couple of screenshots from the project I'm currently working on, which I'll probably formally announce within the next couple of months.


It's a detective game set in an alternate steampunk-ish 1840s.


The conversation system is very much inspired by the first Gabriel Knight.

I will always love the painting of the elephant.

After you're done jaunting around having steampunk adventures, come down and have a pint, listen to some steam tech powered player piano or any of the live acts appearing nightly at the Crimson Cat.

EDIT: Went back and made it a bit more steampunky

I just so happen to be working on backgrounds currently for a game I'm making which has steampunk elements.

I may post in here when I've finished the one I started on today.

I usually have very little trouble naming games (the toughest one was Ben Jordan 5. LasNaranjas came up with the brilliant subtitle for me)

I was really proud of "A Golden Wake" because I felt it was clever and mysterious enough to make people interested (plus I got to drop it as the very last line of the game)

Shardlight came about as a complete accident thanks to Ben and stuck.

My current game, however, has been a nightmare. I can't think of a good title and it's starting to worry me. It's really hard to find something that isn't generic, but isn't too "out there."

So, we're going to be doing some special episodes leading up to #100, and I'd like to ask you, the listeners, for some input.

Have you got any questions for either Ben or me about our lives/careers? Post them here, and don't be afraid to go as crazy as you want. Nothing is off limits!

Episode 96

I am excited

Regarding Amy:

Spoiler

I feel the same way. I realized after it was pointed out that my focus was on designing a cool puzzle(indirectly controlling the raven) rather than consideration for her actions and how they worked in relation to her character. If I could go back and redo it, I'd change it so she finds a more non-violent solution.

Episode 95

Mainly because I don't feel comfortable working with the smaller pixels of 640x400 native resolution.

Yep, I did all the art for A Golden Wake. And for now, Twitter's the only place I've been posting stuff.

And I'm out as well. I just can't afford to do any traveling this summer, as much as I'd like to.
