#pointandclick fans, which game had the worst puns

- The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle?
- Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots?

"Worst" can be interpreted as:

- actually the worst
- the "best worst"
- the "worst best"

Only vote if you have played both!

— CaptainD (@IndieGameNews1) November 18, 2019

Needless to say, I am absolutely OUTRAGED at this result!  (But, having played Bertram Fiddle, I can confirm that the puns are pretty awful - in a good way of course! :-D)

Just thought you might like to know.

2 new Captain Disaster projects in the works...

... before you get excited about a new point and click adventure game featuring the gormless captain (come on admit it, two people on this planet actually were moderately excited for a moment) this isn't about a new game.  Currently my circumstances don't really allow me much time or head space for gamedev.

However, I'm not idle and the CD universe is in need of expansion.  Therefore I have 2 projects currently on the go:

The Captain Disaster Revised Short Story Audiobooks - I'm taking the original 11 short stories that started the whole thing off, reworking them slightly to better fit the audiobook format, and then recording them.  

Here's a quick sample:

Also I have started working on the novelisation of Captain Disaster: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots.  I have some screenshots to prove it (though it must be noted that it is very early days with this project...):

Free for Star Wars Day - and 6 days beyond!

I was going to make the game free for just Star Wars Day, but I decided to make it free for the whole week.  If you've always wanted to play it but been too skint, go ahead and download it.

Dark Side finally gets an "official" rating on the AGS boards!

​Rated 3 /5 (the AGS ratings board are notoriously difficult to please! :-D Can't really argue with anything they say though anyway):

What can I say about Captain Disaster in the Dark Side of the Moon:  Zany? Funny?....Typical CaptainD style that we have come to know and love... 

This early episode, although quite old now and not as strong as the later stuff is still enjoyable enough to play. Overall I thought the game showed promise at the time of what was/is to come. A monster has been set lose.​

The Loot Gaming Interview - Part 2

Part Two of our epic interview with The Loot Gaming has now been posted.  Check it out!

(I mean yes, 37 questions may not appear "epic" to you, but with two people giving considered answers to each one, it felt pretty epic completing it!)

New video - by SIP

SIP (SmallIndiePromo) has done a video of the first part of the game and seems to have enjoyed it immensely. :-)

An Interview So Large, They Had To Split It In Two!

TheBitPriest and myself were reviewed by gaming website The Loot Gaming.  They sent us so many thoughtful questions that the resulting interview has had to be separated into two parts!  Here is Part One.

Latest ratings & reviews on Itch

Man I wish these were more visible on Itch itself,  but for now this'll have to do...

Photoshop Friday Disaster!

On the AGS forums we have this thing called "Photoshop Friday", where the previous week's winner pics a photo to be edited to our heart's content.  Below is what I did for my entry this week:

Featuring students hard at work playing Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots, which actual early designs for the game up on the boards.

New reviews on Itch

2 new reviews of the game on Itch, always makes my heart glad to see people have enjoyed the game! :-)

Captain Disaster now also available via BMT Micro

You can also order Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots via long-time indie-friendly distributor BMT Micro using this link.  The price is fixed at £6.99 / €7.99 / $8.99 (so depending on the exchange rate at the time it might be a better price than some other vendors).

Of course what this also means is that, if you have a BMT Micro affiliate account, you can earn 30% of any sale you make of our game.  Which is worth knowing, surely? ;-)

New comment on the AGS games page

Saw it this morning :-)

Fun game with a lot of humor. The puzzles are great. Couldn't stop playing until I finished it.

You can see all the comments here.  If you want to.
