Huzzah! Thanks for posting this

One clarification, "game is almost (?) finished" it is actually the prologue, i.e. part 1 of 4 that is almost finished. We're releasing it episodically so there isn't a huge amount of development time without anything being released helps keep ourselves motivated to finish it

We'll be sure to pimp any new info here as and when we have it!

Thanks again for your interest

(PS: That first pic is not a true screenshot ;D but another AGS member's joke) just in case you thought we were perves or something! (We are anyway, but hey...)

'fraid not. We've wrote our own plug-ins for it, not vanilla AGS.

Thx for jumping in.

Hi! Since we're releasing the game in 3 acts (plus a prologue) seperately, we'd like to do a combined "full" version at the end when the whole thing's finished. We can include all manner of extra goodies if we have them then

Ta,

Cap'n Binky

Hi guys. It is really nice of you to drop in here. The game looks very promising, and the fan-art too

Do you know of any other games in development, that we should mention in here?
And I am guessing that eMTe contacted you, so I am guessing that he asked you about interviews too, when we get that particular area up and running...?

I forgot.

Lemmy&Binky, if you have email notification for this topic turned on sorry for my useless post.

But now you are officially asked anyway. ^^

It'd be a pleasure!

Damn... I should start thinking of the interface to add & show the interviews...

Dangnabbit. What would be the best approach to this...

Anyways, back on the topic. Anything new going on in there L&B?

Damn. I envy you. The site looks nice. No actually it's plain beautifull. I wish I had such graphical abilities myself

Besides team descriptions were hilarious

A bit short they may be, but things there are are well done

Nice sites mates =)

IT really is a masterpiece. I like the simple yet very puzzling design. Makes it very artistic (if that makes any sense.) I also laughed quite hard when reading the team descriptions. I seems to have seen the idea someplace (like a comic or a book) Are the descriptions inspired by something?

And here I was thinking that the sidewalk outside Bob Geldorfs London apartement were no longer attacked by ants...

AGS forums topic, update from 23rd August of 2007:

Final Art 70%
Placeholder art: 100%
Scripting 100%
Dialogue / Story 70%
Plug-ins 90%
Music 50%

5 months is quite a long time, isnt it?

Well, I already thought that the project is dead, but here's a quote from the AGS forum:

"Not abandoned, and never will be. Just getting kinda put to the side all the time. We keep picking it back up, but then other short term things come around and it ends up getting shelved again.

We'll get it done eventually."

Don't think we will see the game sometime soon, but there's hope for the future...
