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

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.)

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.

Incidentally as well as this game, we're now in the process of creating a freeware game based on the character:

It's been a while... just popping in to say that Act I is fully playable now (though not voiced and beta tested), and Act II shouldn't take us too long to complete. Our artist for Act III says he's planning on getting the assets done by the end of this month so we're still looking (reasonably) good for a release at the end of 2014.

Hi, Captain D.
Each time I try to download this DEMO file, I get a message that says it has NOT been downloaded because "it's dangerous". I DO have an option to KEEP this file, but I'm not sure that I should. Any input from YOU would be appreciated. Thanks,
Sandy

It must be a false positive Sandy, I had no issues.

OK, Ana. I'll give it another try, and thanks for your input.
Sandy

OK, bit the bullet and did the download. Playing the game now. it's really funny. Can't wait for the full version.

Wow, Sandy - I'm so sorry that I never saw your original question to me, and many thanks for Ana for answering it. (For the record, I often get messages like that when downloading builds from my dev buddies - I think it's mainly because there's an executable in there that the scanner doesn't recognise.)

Really glad you liked the demo.:)

A small update on the game:

Acts I and II are completely playable now, have been tested but I don't have the formal test reports as yet.
Act III is in progress, with the backgrounds being done by the somewhat famous indie adventure game artist Ben Chandler! (He works for Wadjet Eye Games now, but was allowed to complete projects he'd already signed up to - thanks Dave and Janet!)

Potentially the most important news is that I'll be demoing this game at AdventureX this year, which is being held on 5th / 6th December at South Bank University.

http://screen7.co.uk/adventurex/

(I've asked Mark to sort it out, for some reason Captain Disaster has been listed as "Horror"!! blush Maybe he's talking about the horrifically bad jokes?!

I will also be demoing Troll Song and A Playwright's Tale (previously known as "The Journey of Iesir").
