The good folks at Zombie Cow Studios have just released a sequel to their spiffin’ comedy adventure game Ben There, Dan That! with a doubly spiffin’ comedy adventure game Time Gentlemen, Please! (and while those exclamation marks are part of the game titles, I would have used them in any case to convey the excitement ;D)
Having played through the beta, I can confirm that TGP is quite awesmoe: funny, witty, and stylish. And what’s this? Yup, I did the “previously on” art, too! :)
Check out the demo, or buy it here!

Just a small update on PAWS: going swimmingly, but as you might have guessed from it not having been released yet, it’s taking a bit longer than originally anticipated. We’re sure it will be worth it, though, and we have a screenshot (with a rainbow) to back us up!
For those of you who are not members of the Indie Stone (and shame on you if you’re not ;) ), you missed out on seeing a sneak peek at a new PAWS screenshot a good while back. Click on the pic for full-size!
Remember, Indie Stone members see all this weeks before anyone else! (mostly because I’m lazy with updating, but still, it’s a reason to join!)

Slowly but surely, I’ll catch up with posting ;)
A sculptor who seeks to create minatures so small they are invisible; a tower so tall that it extends into heaven, and takes generations to climb; a husband suddenly overcome by the abstractness of words. Just a few of the stories in Steven Millhauser’s latest short story collection, Dangerous Laughter. (more…)

Nicholas Nickleby is a young gentleman of “high spirit”, who tries to make his fortune against the odds of poverty, a rich uncle who plots against him, characters who harass his family, and the general foibles which come across his way.
I’m enough of a Dickens fan that I like Dickens even when I’m not liking Dickens, if you get what I mean ;) Nicholas Nickleby is a example of that. (more…)

…an INTERSPECIES dinner date! Think of the herds are saying! :o
Based on the work of the awesmoe artist iLKke, although it didn’t really come through in the end. I still like it for what it is, though :)

Whew, it’s been a while! ;)
Crabshack’s just undergone a server change, so you may notice some missing pictures or funny symbols in the posts, but I should fix that over the next little while :)
But in more interesting news, Lemmy&Binky and I have started up a nice, spiffy forum for indie developers, gamers, and/or well-wishes to share knowledge, hang out and have fun, called the Indie Stone :D Check it out by clicking on the ladybug-shaped button (which I learned how to make at the Indie Stone, btw!)
Still unconvinced? Read this, and you’ll wonder why you’re even still reading this terrible blog instead of being at the Indie Stone! ;D

A wonderfully lovely review of an early build of PAWS from the review site XNPlay!
Paws is not only one of (if not the most) luscious looking titles we’ve played for the Community Games service to date but it’s also one of the cutest games that we’ve played in the history of all our game playing. It’s quite simply adorable.
[...]
Each game type is just massive, massive fun to play. Special moves are easy to pull off and in general, the controls are so wonderfully responsive and just feel right that within moments the game becomes the epitomy of pick up and play. All this in a half finished game? It’s sort of boggling.
Aww, thanks Oddbob :D Check it out!

A small portion of a screenshot from PAWS! :D I don’t think I described the PAWS team in detail before, so in brief: Lemmy is handling the coding, while the art is a mix of work from Captain Binky and myself :)
[the screenshot seems to have been lost in the server change :( ]
And there are more awwws to come! ;) (and wheeees once you play it!)

There may have seemed to be a considerable lack of updatage concerning Hatmaker lately, and I’m happy to be able to announce the reason why :D
Yep, it’s a screenshot from a game in the works with the lovely Lemmy&Binky! We’re keeping details under our hats for now, so I’ll just say it’s multi-player, and the characters will put a smile on anyone’s face :D The goal is to have this finished in 2-3 months, so expect more news soon!
Yay!
