Don't be shy, mate: click on the screenshots to see them bigger!
Hi everyone
First of all, sorry for not speaking Polish. I'm from Belgium and I'm designing a funny and old-school point and click adventure game for PC and Mac.
Here's the pitch:
After a 10-year quest, Lancelot and his fellow Gawain have found the Holy Grail! Immediately informed, King Arthur runs to meet the most valiant knights of the Round Table. While their king brings them fortune and fame, Lancelot and Gawain celebrate their victory over a few beers. The next morning, Lancelot wakes up in his underwear in a gay bar. The keeper tells him that he has lost the Holy Grail playing cards and Gawain has been kidnapped by environmental activists. If he does not want to be killed by Arthur, Lancelot has to get back the Grail and his companion in arms before the king of Britain discovers what happened.
I've started this thread on this forum to introduce you the game's developpement. I will be extremely glad to get your comments, advices and suggestions. My goal is to provide you the funniest point and click I can.
If you have questions about the sorywriting, the making of the artworks, the code stuff, the list of all psychoactive drugs consumed to craft the puzzles and the 'creative' businness plan behind the game financing (and yes, all the rumours about the offshore accounts and the ties with the Chinese mafia you read on the Internet are true!), feel from to drop me a comment. I'll make my best to reply the most sincerely I can.
If you want to test the game, a beta is coming very soon. I'll give a download link on this forum. Or if it's handier for you, I'll tweet the link on

Thanks

Very Important (although boring) Legal Stuff
The European Commercial Court of Justice (ECCJ), held on 8th February 2014 in Brussels (Belgium), stated that:
- The author of the video game called "Lancelot's Hangover" is no more allowed to include in his playful-oriented computer program any puzzles that can be solved in a logical manner. The player, to progress through the game, must always use, one by one, all the objects in the inventory on all the different objects and characters within the game (and if possible, several times). In addition, only websites in Serbo-Croatian language will be willing to publish a text walkthrough (which must first be encrypted using the SHA-512 algorithm).
- The author of the video game "Lancelot's Hangover" will also break any contacts with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un by 23th June 2014 and will provide a urine sample, every Tuesday morning, at The European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) until 1st January 2017 inclusive.

I think that's the most ridiculous story pitch I've read this year.

What in the name of The Longest Journeys Balance were you doing while coming up with that? AND doing it in that art style.
Does Lancelot spend the entire game in his undies?
Looks like a lot of (if what ECCJ say about using the inventory is true) masochistic fun.

How far is it in development?

Thanks for your post

Lancelot will spend the all begining of the game in his underwears, until he dresses in a more... well... religious way (no spoiler, I want players to discover it by themselves playing the game
I think the very first beta with the first 30 minutes of gameplay will be released before July.

Soon then.
30 minutes for beta, how long will be the whole game approximately?
What's interesting is that Lancelot left his undies and that head chainmail thing

Obviously he values his neck more, cause those little panties don't really present much in terms of protection.
And aren't Care Bears images trademarked?

#5
You made me lol about the head chainmail thing - such a poor protection indeed
Well, the game is planned to be a 4-to-6 hour-long adventure. And about the Care Bears copyrights, well... hum... Look behind you, a Three-Headed Monkey!

I'll keep you posted about the beta

The very first playable beta of Lancelot's Hangover is available! It's 32.7 megabytes and 20 minutes of medieval fun, including 256-color VGA graphics in 1080p for later-than-1995-Pentium users! And it's free!
This first beta shows you what will be the humour, the dialogs, the main characters and the graphical style of the game. A later beta, scheduled for October 2014, will introduce you the funny puzzles and the point-and-click gameplay.
All bug reports, suggestions, comments are welome! Don't be shy! I will be glad to hear from you!
