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.

 It's that time again - the weather causes prices to melt, or something.

Captain Disaster and the Two Worlds of Riskara - in 15 seconds!

Well, this "My indie game in 15 seconds" thing has been trending on social media for a while now, so I thought I'd better get in on the act - then I also realised it's been ages since I updated this blog!

So here we are:

CD3 Update

 Just a brief update...


Yesterday I coded the very final sequence that happens in Captain Disaster and the Two Worlds of Riskara. Obviously that's a pretty nice milestone, but it doesn't mean the work is done. Far from it.

In fact, I've decided to put the release date back to next year (aiming for early in the year if possible.) The reason for this is that I'm really not confident of delivering the game by the end of the year without taking short-cuts.

I would much rather release the game later if that means I can make sure it's as good as I can make it, and that it's been tested as thoroughly as possible. I hope everyone will feel it was worth the wait, once the game does come out.

Anyway, that's my update for today.

If you haven't already wishlisted the game, you can find it here:

We truly appreciate all wishlists, reposts and any spreading the word, since our wishlist count has been growing extremely slowly!

Flow Problem released

 

I had been working on a sort of follow-up to Snow Problem, but this time based on water dynamics rather than snow. It's about as finished as I'm going to get it, with real-life and devving Captain Disaster and the Two Worlds of Riskara I don't really have time to dedicate to it, so I've decided to release it for free. It's minimalistic but I think puzzle game fans should get a bit of a kick out of working out how to complete all the levels. 

Other pros: 

- very small download size!

- it's FREE (unless you really, really want to give me money for it, in which case I guess I won't stop you :-p)
