I backed the Theropods game but I am not completely convinced of the approach… in the adventure games podcast, IIUC, they said they wrote a lot of puzzles, then dropped 3/4 of them because they would not be able to create all the corresponding animations. Wait a second 🙂 : this means they are throwing away content because it does not fit the graphics? Shouldn’t this be the other way round? Compare this to e.g. Darkside Detective, where they gave up animations because they wouldn’t be able to fit all the content. OTOH, I understand that in silent games (like Chuchel) , animations are the only means to _describe_ the rules of the puzzle, so it’s impossible to implement a puzzle if you can’t afford them. No big deal, I backed the game anyway. Still it’s interesting to note the consequences of choosing a completely silent style. ---

Apropos time… I’m still knees deep in making my adventure (non - The First Warp). Yesterday it finally felt like I was playing a _real game_ I haven’t felt that with it in over 4 years. I’ve made this video showing off a couple of locations to celebrate: [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2pbrF\_3wJLQ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2pbrF_3wJLQ) Development is accelerating now as I have most of the core functionality nailed down. ---

Looks very interesting and distinctive! It has a comic style but it doesn’t try to look cute and child friendly, like nearly all modern adventure games. Good luck with it. ---
