A Little Bit 'o This!

2010-05-01T19:10:00.000Z

Hello!

Just thought I'd share a new game.

Well, I say "game", but there's not really a lot of it to play. It was made in a hurry for a friendly competition on the AGS forums. It's really short. :D

You can find it by following the link...here!

It's called "Dead Hand", and it's about a mysterious serial killer on the loose.

The controls are simple. Hold down the right mouse button and drag to rotate the environments. Click the left button to interact with things!

It's pretty rough around the edges and, like I said, there's not much to it.

But...enjoy!

The return of...that guy with the...thing?

Hello! Haven't been back in a while, so my apologies to anyone who may have been wondering just where I was and what I was doing.

Oh, nobody was? Oh good, then I've been here all the time! Where the hell have you been?!

Some news:

The downloads for Heartland Deluxe and Unbound have been experiencing a little hiccup recently, and I'm currently creating alternate download mirrors. As in right this very minute! In fact, typing this post is delaying me in doing so, so I'll cut it short. :P

I'll add a little "Everything is fine!" notice when the games are back up.

UPDATE: Everything is fine! I've mirrored both Heartland Deluxe and Unbound. (Un)Fortunately, Mediafire was the answer. You can access the downloads from the regular download pages...

HERE and HERE

Sorry to anyone who was trying to download, and thanks to everybody who brought it to my attention. :)

Heartland Deluxe...again!

2008-01-26T21:21:00.000Z

Just noticed that the good people at download-free-games.com have added Heartland Deluxe to their database of adventure games, with a nice review and some screenshots.

Visit them now! :D

Out of (Un)bounds!

2007-12-22T00:18:00.000Z

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!

2007-07-20T00:00:00.000Z

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!

2007-05-18T23:45:00.000Z

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'!

2007-05-06T21:00:00.000Z

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

2007-04-21T19:40:00.000Z

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

2007-04-21T19:34:00.000Z

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

2007-04-21T19:26:00.000Z

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!

2007-03-30T19:48:00.000Z

Heartland Deluxe has been featured in Independent Gaming's Top 20 Adventure Games of 2006, clocking in at number seven. Whoo! :D

2007-03-15T00:38:00.000Z

Production has begun on my second game, Unbound. Another vignette from the "Wound" universe, an official production thread can be found on the AGS forums.

Spotted!

2007-01-21T23:54:00.000Z

Heartland Deluxe appears in this months Games For Windows magazine (US).
It seems to be connected to the 1up.com feature mentioned in the last post, as the the write-up for each game is identical and both are Ziff Davis Media properties.

Heartland Deluxe 101!

Chimps Ahoy!

2007-01-05T18:59:00.000Z

Recently watched Phenomena again. Apart from another groovy score from Goblin, it features a chimp (armed with a straight-razor!) out for revenge! How could it not be great?!
