Yes folks it's taken quite some time but eventually my co-dev and I have decided to unleash the beast on Steam!

It's been available for quite a while on Itch, GameJolt, FireFlower Games and BMT Micro, but this is the first time it will be available on Steam. Designed to look and play like the classic adventure game of the 90s, the game takes place over three acts, taking place on two planets and the captain's own ship. The game is fully voiced and contains plenty of references to classic sci-fi and adventure games, but it has its own unique identity.

Winner of 3 AGS Awards and receiving a further 4 nominations, Captain Disaster will provide you with 6-8 hours of fun and head-scratching.

Available to wishlist now:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1298280/Captain_Disaster_in_Death_Has_A_Million_Stomping_Boots/


Release date: 29th May 2020

Notes:
1 - This is identical to the game existing on other platforms, I'm afraid we will not be adding achievements and the like to this game. Our time and resources are limited and we would rather spend them on creating a new Captain Disaster game... more news on this another time!
2 - If you have bought the game on Itch already (as in, paid for it rather than been gifted a copy or claimed it during a free promotion), you will be able to claim a Steam key shortly after the game launches.

Alright CaptainD! And thanks for the option to claim a Steam key if already bought on Itch. I may take that offer up as I also like Steam.

Wasn't sure whether to put this in a separate thread or not, but decided to keep it in this one.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1305500/Captain_Disaster_in_The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon/

Releasing 18th May 2020.

Captain Disaster in: The Dark Side of the Moon now has Steam achievements!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1305500/Captain_Disaster_in_The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon/


This will both open the Trophy Room as usual and add all your Steam achievements.

Please note - the game only adds Steam achievements when you visit the Trophy Room, not during the game itself.

[EDIT - sorry it seems old saved games won't work.]



Just a gentle reminder also that Death Has A Million Stomping Boots his Steam in just 2 days!! laugh

Seems one or two do, 15% of players have all 16 achievements!!

Unfortunately it looks like I was wrong about old savegame files working, sorry. Thought I'd managed to work the system to avoid a typical AGS problem but looks like I was unsuccessful.

- 20% off during launch week -

If you bought the game on Itch you will be able to claim a Steam key there as well, but please bear with me while I get this sorted out - I'll publish a devlog on Itch when it's ready.

Anyone who's been my patron for 6 months or more will be sent a complimentary key on Patreon.

A request - if anyone bought the game on Itch and left a review, now that you have your Steam copy would you mind awfully posting a review on Steam as well? Sorry to be a pain but it's really difficult for small indies to get noticed and most often if you don't ask you don't get! smile

Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots is currently half-price as part of the Itch Summer Sale. Steam key is included (I can't include the game in the steam Summer Sale unfortunately as it was released too close to the start of the sale date.)

@Lex - oops sorry I never saw your post before! Unfortunately our plans to port onto other formats stalled and at this stage seem unlikely to be viable, sorry.


Also:


Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots is half-price this week on Steam:
