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.

A Most Momentous Decision!

Well, yeah, it's a decision I should have made a long time ago, and which my programmer has been nagging me about pretty much from the moment he started working on the game (which is probably much longer ago than either of us care to remember!!).  

It's about the graphics, and basically the inconsistency of style.  I thought we could get away with it but, the bigger the game got and the more we tested it, the more it felt like the inconsistencies were a problem.  So, we're redoing a lot of the backgrounds in a more cartoony style.  

Fear not though, this shouldn't actually push back our schedule too much.  Just so you can see what I mean, here's a WIP of one of the redone screens...

Captain Disaster on AdventureGamers

Captain Disaster is featured in the write-up of Adventure-X 2014 on AdventureGamers.com.  

"the titular captain finds a simple package delivery job turning into a quest to save the galaxy. With the questionable aid of an inept computer in this quest, our hero will be party to a series of unlikely events, including inadvertently becoming a famous rock star for a time. The game has a family-friendly approach with a retro cartoon style."
