Today marks the one year anniversary of us unleashing 'The Protagonish' on an unsuspecting world! This post aims to give a bit of background, how we did marketing and promotion, and details of sales and Steam and all that jazz, and to celebrate, it's 50% off
We are making an adventure game about the French Revolution. OK, technically not THE French Revolution, but this one. And in our research we have been looking at the shapely calf muscles of a lot of French Kings. Our parody adventure game 'Less Miserables' features a mini-game
It was something we talked about at the very first stages of the game: we had to do a field trip to Paris! It would give us a chance to see the real places we wanted to have in Less Miserables, while capturing the visuals and feel of the place.
OK, OK, I know I've not done proper updates in a while. Soon! But I attended a great live talk from Michael Liebe and Maria Burns Ortiz on their top tips for successful Kickstarters for Video Games, and it was actually great! Good data, clear tips, with why
We are excited to finally announce the next title from our new studio: a point-and-click adventure game that's a parody of Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Misérables! It's a wonderful and timely tale of revolution, inequality. sacrifice and love, and has inspired generations. Our
By far the best part of developing our point-and-click adventure game, The Protagonish, was working with professional artists. I've already mentioned the huge learning curve for me, understanding layouts, art styles, brushes, and colour palettes, and a whole technical language I didn't know! But today, we&
In most computer games, the character you play is the conquering hero. Think of Civilization, Skyrim, Doom, Mario, Zelda... Even if your job is to be a 'goody' and bring peace to the land, or rescue the princess, you do it pretty much single-handed, as the legendary savior
It's launch day, and The Protagonish is now available to download and play the full game! You can get The Protagonish on Steam or itch.io for the tiny price of US$3.99 / £2.99 / €3.49 for a tiny but fun game, with full hand drawn
Our short, point-and-click adventure game finally has a launch date! We will be releasing the full version of The Protagonish, for Windows, Mac and Linux, on Steam and itch.io on October 24th, at 6pm UK time! And we will be having a launch party in Leith! Testing is going
Ah! It's a tale as old as time, the Delayed Video Game Release Date! Externally, we were working towards a September release for The Protagonish, which seemed reasonable at the time. However, after a very interrupted summer (and lousy weather), we've decided to release towards the
It's been a busy month, but we have finally launched the playable demo of The Protagonish on Steam and itch.io! So you can download and play for free, and see the game come to life! There's been a lot of work polishing animations (although more
I love watching movies. New ones, old ones, comfort movies you've watched dozens of times before, so-bad-they-are-funny ones. There's something about being able to immerse yourself in light and story and a world for a couple of hours that I still find as magical as I
Finally, we can announce the first game from College Fun Games, The Protagonish! It's a classic point-and-click style adventure game with a twist: you don't control the adventurer! Instead, you get to guide or hinder the 'main' character's quest by choosing humorous
It's been a long time since my last confession, but we have been very busy. The recording session was amazing. We had the whole cast hanging out in B&B Studios for an afternoon in Leith, either squirreled away in glass booths so we could see our
The established wisdom for voice over work in computer games is that it's generally one of the very last things you do. You are supposed to have fully written, deployed, and extensively play tested the game (especially with adventure type games) before you do any of the audio
Hello all! It's March 2024 and College Fun Games has already been founded for three months! But we have been busy! As well as getting through the admin bits-and-pieces of setting up a games studio and company, we've started production on our first game! College Fun
