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.

Adventure-X Success!

Well... I think it was a success.  Attendances for the demonstrations were almost universally low, I think only Technobablyon came close to having a really decent number (maybe WEG's mystery game too, I wasn't there for that).  But still, more people came to see Captain Disaster being demoed than either of my other games, and to me it was by far my best presentation.  I was really relaxed, had a good rapport with the audience, and they seemed to laugh at all the right places.  (Whether for the right reasons or not I couldn't tell you, but they seemed to be as concentrated a group of science fiction and adventure game nerds as I could possibly hope to have looking at this game! :-D)

Doing this presentation actually led up to my proudest moment of Adventure-X 2014 - Theo Waern, designer of The Journey Down, came and told me that he enjoyed the Captain Disaster presentation.  Considering I'm a huge fan of The Journey Down, that really meant a lot to me.  (The reaction to one of the cut scenes was also a top moment, but you'll have to buy the game to find out...)
