As much as I love the Jason the Greek graphic style and animations, the demo is terribly buggy and not really fun to play. Before I played the demo I wanted to back it, but now I don't think I will.

The title of this game contains a colon.

The typographical or anatomical one?

I envy you guys, sadly I can't be there this year . I wish you all a great weekend with interesting talks and fantastic games to play.

When I make a new game, I always carry a small notebook with me. I write down every idea that comes to my mind. Then I try to connect ideas, add different thoughts and think of scenes where the events take place. Then I start to do very rough sketches of backgrounds and characters in the notebook. I do not write a script, not even for dialog. I write that on the go directly in AGS.

The next step is starting up AGS. By then I usually have decided on a graphic style and resolution. I don't use placeholder art for backgrounds, I usually add one background after the other once it is finished. I do the coding and drawing at the same time, although I do use placeholders for characters. Animation is the most difficult thing for me, so I tend to do postpone it to the end of development

I recently found old notes from various games, I might upload some of them.

Done! Thanks for the teaser, Sunny Penguin

Agreed! If only someone could write a teaser for it...

How many frames are there? Can you show the animation frame by frame?

> GRANT AUDIENCE to the TRAVELLING MERCHANT and ASK HIM about the south and where he came from.

Lancelot's knights are currently exploring the east, so it would be nice to get to know about the south.

>> ORDER JESTER TO LIST NAME AND BUSINESS OF ALL VISITORS & PETITIONERS WAITING FOR AN AUDIENCE

But this would be the last thing we can do today. Who knows which of the visitors will still be here tomorrow?

German:
Ich bin der Froschfänger. Ich fange Frösche.

(This is a marvelous example of weird German Umlauts. Just watch how they swap between "Froschfänger" and "fange Frösche"!)

WHAT do we do with a live cow?

Milk and make cheese!

Very nice short game. Took me about 25 minutes to complete.

The graphics are very good, the sound effects fitting and the music builds up great tension in the final scene. The dialogs introduce the characters very well and give a nice amount of background information.

I love that after discovering the dragon he comments on your actions.

I found a few typos/glitches:

Spoiler

• Have you ever hear of a Time Stone?
• all of the professors at Unseen University - Pratchett's "unseen" slipped in here, should be unheard
• when putting the unlit candle in the candlestick and standing in front of it, the candles appear before Elle.

I think the jester is our advisor and he did a good job till now, so let's just

> Summon next audience;

+1

Happy birthday, CJ!

Waitasec! Isn't anybody a bit creeped out by that shadowy traveller? We just shrug and say, yupp, mage? What is that danger?

You mean something like

> ASK JESTER about SHADOWY TRAVELLER

Still: Another audience?

You could probably walk down a busy highstreet and count on one hand how many people saw that movie (or willingly watched it to the end).

You seem to have very big hands...

I agree with Ghost. As soon as we decide to kill peasants we can still hire someone else

> HIRE LANCELOT and order him to SEND a DELEGATION to EXPLORE

We could keep the rest of the guys as guards or send them to search for grails later on...

Wheee, I am a farmer

>ASK Dennis for a LIST of nations we had trading with;

As far as I understood the list is lost, we have to send out someone first to explore the surroundings and find other nations.

> Ask CONSTRUED to start CONSTRUCTION of a BALLISTA TOWER near the city gate, unless we already have one, and to provide a list of all relevant buildings currently found in the city.

That's pointless unless we have someone to operate it. We should
> EMPLOY a CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD
and
> EMPLOY an EXPEDITIONS EXPLORING the land

> EMPLOY a CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD

What if any of the guild leaders tries to kill us?
