Thanks Blackjack, I’m actually programming the end credits currently

That doesn’t mean development is finished though, there’s still a lot to do especially on the art and music side. But this means the game can be played from beginning to end now

Someone preordered the game today, and told me he just added Demetrios on GOG.com wishlist :

I’d really like Demetrios to be available for sale on GOG when it’s released.

To be honest I don’t know if my game will ever be accepted there because they are very picky and I know a few adventure games that were refused, so if you can vote for it I’ll be very grateful

Thank you!

I’ve just posted an update on the Kickstarter. The last chapter is finished!

The programming, the texts and the art are there, so this means the game can now be completed from beginning to end. And that’s quite a relief! I’m not too far from schedule. (I planned to have this completed for the beginning of the year)

I’m not quite sure if I can call this a “beta” version yet because not all features are implemented, but it’s “story complete”! This is a significant achievement from a personal point of view, when you consider how many projects never get to this stage!

This means I’ll soon reach all the backers to ask the name you’d like to see listed in the credits!

I think you’ll really enjoy the game. It’s quite long and varied for an indie adventure game made by one person. Not to mention fun-filled! (Some people *might* not like some of my jokes though, but at least they won’t leave anyone indifferent!)

Hey, everyone!

The development of Demetrios is in the last stages, so I expect to release the game in a few months.

Lake Kubilius, one of the few early testers of the game has finished Demetrios! He really enjoyed the game and wrote a quick review of it!

Having recently finished an alpha build of the game, I can say with confidence that this is something new and wonderful!

Fans of point and click adventures will be delighted to see some fresh blood in the genre, with fantastically risky writing and art choices coming together for fun effect.

The game is driven by a ridiculous sense of humor that defies classification.  Many of the best elements of the “Leisure Suit Larry” games are reborn here, excepting that most of the stuff that put off female gamers has been replaced with stuff that would feel more at home in “South Park.”

Amusing mini-games are sprinkled throughout, including an optional hunt for cookies in every scene. Searching for cookies is especially fun, and finding them yields more jokes.  The cookies also serve as the currency exchanged for game hints, which is a wickedly clever design choice.  (If you carefully search every scene for cookies, you should need fewer hints.  If you only need a few hints, and the game gives you those hints in exchange for cookies, no one gets mad and ruins the fun with a walkthrough. )

The story is fun, but almost incidental.  The real treat is wandering around as these ridiculous characters, doing ridiculous things. 

This game was a good time.

The part about it being “something new” really pleases me, because that was my intention - offering the adventure gamers something different, a game like no other that you’ll definitely want to try

I’ve posted an update on Kickstarter with more information on what has been done and what’s left, check it here!

Among many other things, I’ve added cutscenes, achievements, cookies and extras

Wow, man, for a one man team you sure move fast! Glad to see it’s coming along, cheers!

Thanks! Well I dedicate pretty much all my time to work on it To be honest I can’t wait to release it so I can come back to regular activities like… playing games lol
But I’ll take all the time needed and won’t rush things

I hope to be able to announce a release date soon!

Finally, Demetrios has cover art!

I wanted something pretty that would convey the tone of the game. What do you think?

So, the release of the game is getting closer.

I’m planning to release Demetrios at the end of May! I’ll give a precise release date soon

It’s not a “casual” game!

This is a classic adventure game like, say, Broken Sword or Runaway, with the same level of difficulty you’d expect from these. Yes there are mini games, but they’re definitely not the main focus.

The only difference is that it’s played from first person view, but it really feels like a 3rd person game when playing it.

I suggest you try the demo and see for yourself!
