Hi everyone, We are proud to introduce to you, our upcoming classic point & click adventure game: “A Little Less Desperation”. It has been in development for the past year and a half, but we have finally gotten round to sorting out an official website for it! - yay! Game title Quick Summary So what’s it all about? Well… to sum it up in a few short words: it’s about UFOs, epic space travel, a wee side order of rock’n'roll; oh and we shouldn’t forget to mention the bloody vegetables - aisus! - a megalomaniacally inclined robot intent on suppressing the galaxy, an alien beauty - of questionable, or rather remarkable proportions; depending on the who &/or the what is doing the appraising - in distress, and last but not least: a hero to sort it all out… Well… a ‘ero of sorts… Since the list of applicants for the role of hero was a bit short - well non-existent, if truth be told - we had to pick the best… errr, I mean: the fastest… no, uhm… ok, let’s be honest; we had to pick the only applicant we had for the role. In fact, this isn’t true either; Jacob - by some unfortunate grace of bad luck; or should we say fortuitous timing for us - happened to ring our doorbell and stumble his way into our auditions trying to sell us some of his homegrown organic vegetables - aisus! yes the bloody vegetables again - unfortunately - for him - he didn’t stand a chance against our smooth talk, and we soon had him kitted out and starring as the protagonist of our epic point & click adventure game. Jacob holding hat Plot Summary A UFO crash lands nearby. Jacob full of apprehension and unwilling reluctance goes to investigate. He finds a little alien and being the good Samaritan he is, offers to help out the little alien, unknowingly setting off a chain of events that will have him traveling to the vast corners of the universe on an epic, scary, [carefully placed subliminal suggestion], bizarre, epic, humorous yet irrationally mind boggling journey through space, that will be full of crazy puzzles, and even crazier inhabitants of the extraterrestrial, vaguely human [expats; illegal or otherwise] and nondescript kind. The game is an adorable point & click adventure similar to the classic gems of the point & click adventure game genre. We have a wonderful story, out of the box whacky puzzles and a marvelous array of eccentric characters. We decided to focus more on fun, than the morbid ritual of dying awkwardly - and often painfully. You know what we are talking about. Instead of frustration induced hair loss, we’re aiming at giving you more fun for the buck. But we don’t want to give too much away on here, so please don’t forget to check out our homepage, if you want more details. Greeting Overview If you are a fan of the classic point & click adventure game genre, then you need look no further for your next fix than: “A Little Less Desperation”. Unfortunately it’s not yet ready, so in the meantime you will have to get your fix elsewhere, until further notice! We are currently working on developing the technical demo, which if all things go well, should be released sometime early 2015. All the artwork is more or less done and our developer is busy feeding the immense amount of game assets into the game engine and programming the game into something that can be played and enjoyed by all. On a side note: the music for the game is currently being produced as I type this, unfortunately there’s still a matter of sorting out game sounds and finding voice actors, but that’s all in the details, or so they say. Make sure you stay tuned and check our website, twitter feed, facebook page, this forum thread, that forum thread and whatever other form of media you can think of, within reason, to keep up to date with what’s happening at Deaf Bird Entertainment. Also if you would be so gracious as to follow us on facebook &/or twitter, then we would be most grateful, for your support. Cheers, The Deaf Bird Entertainment Team. http://www.alld-game.com

Hi everybody, there’s another little goodie for you! Check out Ray, a cool character from the first chapter! He runs a private radio telescope “facility”, searching for extraterrestrial life. He gets SO close to the answers to his questions, that he doesn’t even realize it. Since he has his place in the first chapter, he won’t be in the demo (which is the beginning of the second chapter). So If you want to meet Ray again, we’ll need a bit support from you in the near future . . . http://alld-game.com/misc/ray_leaning.jpg

Hi everybody, we just uploaded a few minutes of ingame footage! It's still not perfect, we need to hunt and kill some bugs, but it's good enough to get a rough idea. Sorry about the sound problem, We hope you like it anyway. Cheers, Marian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q5R3dIT0mk&feature=youtu.be

Wow! Really nice look and feel, and looks like a lot of fun. Nice work! I will also be looking forward to see this come out.

Cool trailer. That Elvis impersonator was really good.

A big THANK YOU to everybody who voted for our game! We just published a new video, a making-of. It shows how we create the artwork for our game and you can hear me philosophizing on 2D and 3D software! I tried to speak clearly, so I sound a bit odd . . . but nevermind! Making-Of We hope you like it! Cheers, Marian

Hi Marian, I just caught up on your videos. Congratulations on the Steam greenlight. This is looking good. I especially enjoyed the behind the scenes look.
