Out of (Un)bounds!

LimpingFish is pleased to announce the release of his second game...Unbound!

A short follow-up to Heartland Deluxe, Unbound explores the fallout from Project Caterpillar (as mentioned in Heartland Deluxe) and introduces a new character to the story in the shape of Dr. Howard Fielding, last surviving member of the ill-fated project team.

The game is available to download here.

Spotted! A quadrilogy!

Just noticed that czech gaming site, Freegame.cz, has Heartland Deluxe available for download , along with a short review and some screenshots, here. Groovy :)

Music-asm!

Just a tune I knocked up for the current tune contest on the AGS forums:
On the Road (128k MP3)
And while we're at it:
Prowling Goblin (256k MP3)
...which actually won a previous tune contest. :D

Keep on truckin'!

Things haven't been moving as quickly on my second game as I would like, but I've added a small update to the production thread here.

Interlude

The man in the room is okay.
All the suffering in the world doesn't upset him.
What a great life you can have, thinks the man.
How happy you can be, if you just don't care.

Interlude

He watches the clock, and thinks of the things he doesn't own.
Like a big screen TV, or a waffle iron.
He decides it's for the best.
The hands of the clock haven't moved in a very long time.

Interlude

Nothing makes sense, said the man with his finger on the pulse, but I'll smile anyway.

That way maybe no-one will notice, and I can go home and watch that show that I like, about the lesbian gymnasts-in-training

The pulse skipped a beat, but the man never noticed.

Top of the World, Ma!
