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.

What goes into making an adventure game?

A couple of (possibly) interesting stats regarding Captain Disaster in Death Has A Million Stomping Boots:

  • Emails exchanged between team members about the game's development: over 500 email conversations (ranging from 1 or 2 to 50 or more emails in the discussion) - and that's just the ones I've kept!  This doesn't include chats and Google Group posts.  It's a fairly conservative estimate to say that we've swapped over ten thousand messages of one kind or another.
  • Shared files (again, this is only the ones we've actually kept) - currently the Google Drive is showing 3,449 files in 217 folders, taking up 1.73Gb of storage space.

And we're not quite halfway towards the finished game yet - yikes!
