Totally backed this, looks awesome. Godspeed!

And who said you don’t learn anything by playing computer games

We’ve just updated our demo allowing folks to switch between our control pad setup and more traditional mouse point and click controls:

The links are the same as before, you can find them all here.

We know of a few small bugs with the mouse controls (every so often if English doesn’t hit the point he’s trying to walk to he starts to walk in circles, fortunately this doesn’t break the game, you can still move somewhere else, however we blush every time some sees it) but if you do encounter any yourself please let us know.

As ever we’re very keen to hear people’s thoughts! 

Oh, and I know a load of old Lucas Arts games have just been released on GOG today, don’t go mad and buy everything! Save some cash for our campaign! 

If anyone on here is particularly interested in 3D animation in our latest update we have a tutorial showcasing how we are doing all the lipsync animation in Her Majesty’s SPIFFING, you can view the video in our latest update here.

If people like these kind of videos we can do more, let us know your thoughts!

Posted up a new update earlier that included a tutorial for making this walk cycle:

I don’t know anyone interested in animation sure direct them to our update or the video on YouTube.

Thank you Kasper, I’m glad to hear that you like the look of our game.

I’m very fortunate to have a team of guys so talented around me, even on top of our core development team (of our two other artists and programmers) the actors we have, especially the chap that does the voice for Captain English, I couldn’t be happier with. They’ve all bought into the project and have all turned down much more lucrative work to see the game completed. Hopefully we’re able to hit our funding target as I wouldn’t want to have to loose any of these guys and doubt I’d be able to find anyone again willing to make the sacrifices they have.

I think we have a real unique opportunity to make something that will hopefully look like it came from a far bigger studio than ourselves. I’m encouraged and very glad to hear that folks have been so positive regarding what we’ve shown of the game so far!

We’ve just posted an update and added a few new reward tiers on our Kickstarter including giving folks the chance to appear in the game as an NPC, such as one backer that has been championing the game for quite some time, BigD:

Here’s a turntable of his character model:

Obviously these rewards are very limited (and quite expensive) so we don’t expect many people will be able to justify spending the money. However, we’ve added a few extra reward tiers, more information can be found in this update.

Keen to hear folks thoughts on here! 

Ha, thanks for the bump Wilco! Yea we were sitting bang on needing exactly £7,000 until a chap decided to cancel his pledge. Through the campaign five or six people have cancelled their pledges, I get an alert on my phone every time this happens and you have no idea how depressed it makes me!

Hoping toward the end we’ll see a bit of a boost, I fear come this time next week I will be a wreck of nerves

Okay I finally decided to back this game.
I had intended to put a hold on my kickstarter spendings, but it would be a shame if this game never gets made.
