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.

Quick Update on Captain Disaster Development

Basically after feedback from the testers there is a lot of "under the hood" stuff being done to make sure things work really nicely.  Not a lot to actually show you, but we're working really hard on it... well, actually, my co-dev is working incredibly hard on it whilst I'm collating stuff for marketing purposes when the game is released.  The shame of it all is, this work is largely going into things the player will inevitably never notice - if the work wasn't being done in this then you probably would notice and view as a slight negative, possibly a minor annoyance.  

Still, it's all going towards making the finished product better.  The work continues...


Editor’s note (updated 2026): This post was originally a short development update from 2017, written while Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots was still being refined following tester feedback. While the original post reflects that moment in development, the game is now available to play, and new visitors looking for the best place to start can check out the latest demo, full game details, and related Captain Disaster pages here on the site.

The game manual's getting there too...

Fairly close to being finished.  I wonder if anyone will actually look at it? 😆

A little news about GoldPieces (and Captain Disaster, of course)

Nice to see that things are moving again with GoldPieces(GP), the cryptocurrency that sponsored the development of Captain Disaster in: Death Has A Million Stomping Boots.  Among other things it's got new official website, where news will be (hopefully) posted regularly.

In terms of the game itself, we're almost at the point of sending out the initial test version with the complete Act III.  Of course we do a lot of testing ourselves before it even gets to the test team.  We can now play the game from start to finish with all puzzles in a working state.  It takes nearly an hour and a half even knowing exactly what you need to do and skipping all dialogues / cut scenes!

Act III Update

It's been a while so you deserve an update...

Act III of the game is now feature-complete and almost ready for preliminary testing.  Basically a quick test of the puzzle logic and pointing, to make sure there are no logic flaws with the puzzles that we've overlooked, that they're not too easy / difficult, and that the game contains sufficient clues for the player to be able to work things out.  We'd also be looking for things like continuity errors in the dialogue etc.

After that it's polish, polish, polish, add animations, voicing and what have you, and finally get it all thoroughly beta tested.  Exciting times!
