Kaptain Brawe *New Upcoming Adventure*
 
Anyone heard of this upcoming game? I actually just stumbled by the website by accident (typo) and came about something that I actually am pretty impressed with. The game features a point-and-click gameplay in a 2D world ala Monkey Island 3. There is actually a demo out currently out that was enjoyable and has left me wanting for more.Seems as though the game isn't due to hit retail until Christmas this year, so we have a wait, but I though I would share the demo with you all.

Oh and here are a few screens:

I played the demo a couple of weeks ago and it looked pretty cool. However, the interface didn't work properly, and I was unable to interact with more than half of the objects in the game. Needless to say, it wasn't much fun.

I don't recall having any glitches or bugs throughout the entire demo. That's unusual.....hopefully they will get that fixed for the main game.

The developer has posted about this a few times here (albeit in the Underground section :)). But I remember her saying she would eventually charge a bit for future episodes.

I also played the demo a while ago - Had no problems with the interface or anything.

I enjoyed it quite a lot. Lovely 2D cartoonish grafics that reminded me of Curse of Monkey Island. And the same sort of wacky characters and humour as those Lucasart games from last decade.

I really look forward to the release of the full game - but sadly these kind of independent game projects have a tendency to be abandoned by the developer before they're finished.

Amazing graphics! And new screens too!

No... she seems pretty tenacious (I get that impression reading the threads I linked to). :) It may possibly be slow going (because she's the only one doing it) but I think it'll get done.

Actually, I don't know many details, but the game was picked up by a publisher. Instead of being episodic it will be one big game.

TangentBlack 03-15-2007 07:26 PM

Yeah, Green is right. She confirmed that on her website. The game would come out in one whole version with a small charge (she suggested perhaps $10-15) for the full game. She claims that the game could be about 10-12 hours long, which is pretty decent for an adventure game, not to mention an indie one.

Thanks for posting this; this is now another indie game I'm really excited about! :)

Not my cup of tea.

beautiful graphics. Downloading the demo...

Nautilus 03-23-2007 05:10 PM

Beautiful game, but there is no story nor voice on the demo. That's a pitty, because the game looks promissing.

TangentBlack 03-23-2007 07:04 PM

Yeah, that is a very common pitfall for indie games. Voices can add a lot to a game but sometimes, if done poorly, can detract from it too. Maybe they realized that?

Crapstorm 03-24-2007 03:44 AM

I imagine the cost of hiring good quality voice actors is very high.

TangentBlack 03-24-2007 06:11 AM

Exactly, which is probably why they chose no voice acting instead of poor acting.

damirko 03-24-2007 06:58 AM

Any ETA on its release date?

TangentBlack 03-24-2007 08:46 AM

Winter is what I hear from the site.

The demo would require only two dubbing actors. It's not very expensive (at least not here in Brasil). Anyway, it's good to see a new adventure in the market.

JohnGreenArt 03-25-2007 04:19 PM

The demo was made LONG before the game had a publisher or any sort of budget. I'm sure the final game will be far more refined than the demo.
