We’re taking a look at one of my favorite adventure games in its original iteration. Georges Stobbart is an American tourist. As he’s relaxing in a café in Paris, he’s caught in an explosion which will be the catalyst to an adventure full of mysteries to uncover.I think I should link this here now that there are a few videos available for it. The series is still ongoing at the time of this post.
Feedback and suggestions are more than welcome ! :)
Fanart of the Week
A few folks have asked about BS5 and Linux - so here it is! A fully native app :) Thanks, Joost, for the screenshot…
A proper Fish n Chip supper for the tuesday evening shift - washed down with tea. Joost is now a fully fledged citizen of Yorkshire…
Great, now I’m hungry. ;)
One button, or four? I think one is much cleaner, and the functions of the other buttons are now available through the inventory screen.
It’s a great feeling to break things down into the simplest form possible.
What’s more, I’m going to look at fading the inventory button out after a short period of player inactivity. That’d be no buttons!
Just look at that - there are spies everywhere. Big security review here. We now have a wifi password that’s so long and convoluted that even if you know it it’s impossible to use. Take that my feathered fact finding friend.
Seriously though, I was talking about all those cloud services we all use and rely on. Most of them have 2-step verification which is well worth looking into if you use them. Be vigilant!
SpyPigeons aside, I also saw the word ‘goat’ scroll past several times during a full asset build. Not found him/her in the game yet though :)
Charles Cecil at Quo Vadis 2013
Last month Charles Cecil was one of the featured speakers at Quo Vadis 2013 in Berlin. On 24th April he talked about crowdfunding and the success of his own Broken Sword Kickstarter. Here are some highlights from his presentation:

I still don’t know what the two Japanese-speaking females find so funny.
Playing now Broken Sword 4 finally after so many years! George is one my favourite videogame characters ever, so it’s nice to have him back :)
