Captain Disaster the Computer Game is the main home of the Captain Disaster adventure games and related projects by Dave Seaman. The site brings together information on the games themselves, along with screenshots, trailers, walkthroughs, media coverage and occasional side projects. Most of the focus is on comedy adventure gaming, with a mixture of freeware releases, commercial titles and experimental smaller works. No generative AI is used in any of the Captain Disaster games. I do experiment with AI in other contexts, and where I've blogged about these, I clearly indicate this.

Alien Marketplace WIP - developing a location

Since I haven't heard from our background artist for a long time despite repeated requests for updates, I have to assume he won't be able to continue working on the project.  Therefore I decided to have a go at creating the background myself - still needs work but here is the development from the basic concept to a more detailed location.  I'm not happy about how flat a lot of it still looks, but at the same time I'm quite happy with how it's starting to look and, while undoubtedly not as good as the previous WIP by our artist, it fits the cartoony style of the existing backgrounds already used in the game better.  Once it's in the game with characters and animations in place, some of the scene's faults will be largely hidden I hope!

Editor's note 24.04.26 - well, looking that this, I can only say I didn't try to rely on my own extremely limited graphical skills for the full game! What could have been... and thank goodness it wasn't...
