Cowcat, we usually stick to one current thread on so we can discuss in this latest one for now. That way other games have a chance to be seen too. I am glad the KS is doing well! Ana

And with that comes another good news! Charles Cecil (I think everyone here knows him, right? :p) said this to me today about my game : "The game looks really fun and very impressive, particularly since you are working on it alone! Let me wish you the very best of luck!" How cool is that?! And I also had a chat with Dave Gilbert (Wadjet Eye Games) today, who said he'll check out my game demo soon! I'm truly amazed to be able to reach awesome adventure game creators like them!

I didn't share the news here? Demetrios has reached its funding goal! There are stretch goals for Spanish and German translations! I'm also continuing my articles on the creation of a room in the game, check the updates on the Kickstarter!

Good news, Demetrios got greenlit today and thus will be available on Steam! (with achievements, cards and probably support for saves into the cloud). The Steam version will be an option of course, there will also be a DRM Free version available. There are still 7 days left to support the Kickstarter! The Spanish translation stretch goal has been reached, the next ones are the German translation (3 500 €) and the PS Vita version (5 000 €) which unexpectedly was the most requested console version! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/983902887/demetrios

Hey everyone :) I know I've been lazy on the communication side lately, but that's because I'm 100% focused on the development! I've finished developing Chapter 5 of the game so about 80% of the game can now be played, and I've started work on Chapter 6 (the last chapter). The game will have a lengthy ending with choices and alternate dialogs, which I expect to be memorable! Two early testers have already gone through the first four chapters, and they've really enjoyed it! This also confirmed that the game should have the length I've targeted ( between 8 and 12 hours on a first run - unless you keep using the in-game help, obviously) For more details, I've just posted an update on the Kickstarter : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/983902887/demetrios/posts/1452287Happy holidays! :)

Hey, everyone! The development of Demetrios is in the last stages, so I expect to release the game in a few months. Lake Kubilius, one of the few early testers of the game has finished Demetrios! He really enjoyed the game and wrote a quick review of it! Having recently finished an alpha build of the game, I can say with confidence that this is something new and wonderful!
Fans of point and click adventures will be delighted to see some fresh blood in the genre, with fantastically risky writing and art choices coming together for fun effect.
The game is driven by a ridiculous sense of humor that defies classification. Many of the best elements of the "Leisure Suit Larry" games are reborn here, excepting that most of the stuff that put off female gamers has been replaced with stuff that would feel more at home in "South Park."
Amusing mini-games are sprinkled throughout, including an optional hunt for cookies in every scene. Searching for cookies is especially fun, and finding them yields more jokes. The cookies also serve as the currency exchanged for game hints, which is a wickedly clever design choice. (If you carefully search every scene for cookies, you should need fewer hints. If you only need a few hints, and the game gives you those hints in exchange for cookies, no one gets mad and ruins the fun with a walkthrough. )
The story is fun, but almost incidental. The real treat is wandering around as these ridiculous characters, doing ridiculous things.
This game was a good time. The part about it being "something new" really pleases me, because that was my intention - offering the adventure gamers something different, a game like no other that you'll definitely want to try I've posted an update on Kickstarter with more information on what has been done and what's left, check it here! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/983902887/demetrios/posts/1495679Among many other things, I've added cutscenes, achievements, cookies and extras

Finally, Demetrios has cover art! Check out this Kickstarter update for the picture! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/983902887/demetrios/posts/1521827I wanted something pretty that would convey the tone of the game. What do you think? So, the release of the game is getting closer. I'm planning to release Demetrios at the end of May! I'll give a precise release date soon

Cowcat, I am the PR person for GameBoomers. Please email it to me. We do First Looks. If you have a DRM free version that would be awesome, otherwise a STeam Key will do. Ana

Cowcat, if you send me the updates via the email you sent me the preview, I will be happy to post your news. AS I stated earlier, I am the PR liaison for GameBoomers. When you post it yourself, it's already done and my posting is redundant. I'm trying to help! I started a new thread here. Ana
