Almost There!

Sorry for the wait, guys!
We’re just as anticipating Caveman Craig SE’s release as you might be. Truly, it’s in its final form, Tim just has to get some final bits and bobs done, like remastering some of the sound effects and making a few more graphics. Then we’ll package it all up, send it to some lucky peeps who get to test it for us, make a few adjustments, and then it’s all yours! Any more delays will be due to testing and cleaning out bugs – because once you buy a copy of the game, we haven’t got any way of giving you any fixes without you buying the game again. Though… now that I think about it, I might be able to incorporate some sort of update tool. I’ll sort it out!

The Caveman Craig website is just about done, with a few pages ‘ere and there to go. Check it out here: http://www.cavemancraig.autumnhouse.com.au. We’ll be getting the domain soon too.

Regards
Rhys Andrews

How’s things going?

Hey everybody.
I haven’t posted here in a while, there just hasn’t been anything special happening other than the development of new additions.

However, with only a few weeks away from release, we can safely give you a list of the new features that Caveman Craig: SE will include. We are also putting the new Caveman Craig website together. To see its progress (keep in mind this is still being designed so you may see placeholder text and so on), visit http://www.cavemancraig.autumnhouse.com.au.

Caveman Craig: SE will be a revamp on the original, award-winning indie game. For only $5.99 US, any Caveman Craig fan can enjoy these additional new features:

  • Rewritten engine for optimised performance and elimination of glitches.
  • 6 new bonuses, including pet dinosaurs, meteor strikes, and more.
  • The ‘dilophosaurus’, a frilled-neck dino that spits poison at his prey.
  • No limit on the frequency of your saves!
  • A brand new and challenging minigame – ‘Meteor Shower’ (as well as the old ‘raptor’ minigame, which is recreated to be more enjoyable).
  • Prioritise your gatherers and preparers to choose fruit over meat, or vice versa!
  • Gather up your hunters to take down dinosaurs together!
  • An extended map size, now twice as long as in CC Classic!
  • Remastered, high quality sound, and a whole new soundtrack!
  • Probably some other stuff that I’ve forgotten!

I hope this entices you guys to purchase a copy. Remember, by spending just a few dollars on this very special edition of Caveman Craig, you are supporting and funding our development of Caveman Craig 2, as well as other projects that Tim and I are working on, for both YoYo Games competitions and commercial sales.

Later!
