@CaptainD -- I don't remember exactly. It was just something about Roger Wilco being a Janitor/Captain on Space Quest. The tone in this demo reminds me of the tone in Red Dwarf. Sarcastic, but funny and forgiving with it. That's the best I can put it.

Anyway, I think you're off to a great start and I look forward to seeing the whole game. Keep up the good work!



Edit: Forgot to add the little cameo of me at the end of the message.

I watched the trailer. Looks like a fun little game for sure!

I'm curious... has anyone found it tough to get the ring? (It's part of the hand scanner puzzle) - I only ask because the last 2 comments I've had on the game on the AGS forums mention that they're stuck. I didn't think it was that difficult, but if people are genuinely struggling with it we may add a subtle hint somewhere in this section while developing the full game.

I haven't had a chance to play again CaptainD, but if possible, I will tonight and let you know.

Ana

Okay thanks Ana.

Anyone else feel free to answer the question too!

CaptainD -- I didn't have trouble finding the ring. I am, however, having trouble



I enjoyed the humor in the demo.

Becky:

If you need me to be more specific...



When you've completed it, can you post your time for me? I'm interested in how long it takes people to play through it.

Fun game! Looking forward to the full version also. I've been at it for about 80 minutes (with breaks), and have fixed up my hand less the ring, which I simply cannot find! What am I missing? Subtle (or not so) hint anyone?

I hope that helps without giving it away too much!

Excellent CaptainD! Nice nudge. Was the only place I hadn't tried that....and I've been adventure gaming since the early 70's! Shoulda known...

Cheers! Mike

EDIT: Well CaptainD, I thought you'd like to know that the timer said 116 minutes, but I really only played for like an hour when I finished....left the game up while I took a lunch break. Anyway, great fun! I'll be watching for updates on the full release!

That's good because I had planned the demo to take about an hour to complete!

I know what you mean about game timers too - Steam's timer frequently adds on hours to my game completion time because it's still on while I have to do other things.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.


Also, if you encountered anything that you felt was crying out for a funny response / something you were disappointed by when you got a generic response, please post about it in this thread too. I'll try to make sure, as much as possible, that everything players felt really deserved a unique response actually gets one!

EDIT: I've added a poll to the dev blog to see if people thought that puzzle was too difficult - head over to http://www.captaindisasterthecomputergame.com/ and cast your vote now!

(We'll put an extra hint in the full game if people thought it was too hard.)

I played it and I LOVED it!

This is a request for a favour from people who have played the demo (whether or not you liked it!) - could you possibly head over the the AGS Game Page and give it a rating? We've had 224 downloads so far but still not enough ratings for the system to give it an average (I believe 5 is the minimum number).

Thanks everyone!

There's also a poll on the dev blog about the ring puzzle - so far no-one's said they found it too difficult! If you disagree, let me know.

I will certainly do that when I get home captainD

Thanks Tigre!
