Ever since I first saw the pitch it's been sitting in my "waiting on" list, mocking me. The time is now!

Won't you pour me one more of that sinful Old Janx Spirit"

You can always volunteer your time to test the shit out of an amusingly buggy version of it if you like!  ;)

Actually, I better shut up before Steve thumps me.
Lambonius...Rarely has our moderating team encountered a forumite as consistently unpleasant as you, and you've burned through far more chances than you deserved. A person really has to try hard to be so obnoxious that they're banned from AG, but you've managed it and then some.

As a programmer of the game, I would think that I should be able to finish it...

I beat the game last night I think. I was drunk though so I can't recall.

Well done on the KS campaign all!
I now wait with bated breath.

'Bated breath'....I always envisage rotten prawn breath.

Probably an obvious question, but since it's been literally years (decades?) that I've owned an old-school hint decoder book, I gotta ask...just how thorough will the hints be in your book?  Are we talking like vague hints to "point you in the right direction" or more of a straight walk-through from beginning to end?  I know you said it's not coming out until a few months after the game does, but if I can't finish it (I've even had trouble with the beta, despite the "cheat outline" written for us)... I'll simply go nuts, berserk, insane.  I really will.  I might even have to resort to watching a "Let's Play"... :'(

Haha, I've been designing it with several "layers" of hints - the first part to reveal with be a hint, and then if you continue reading with the lens, you'll get the exact answer.  So you can choose the level of help you want.

Jen had an idea from one of her old childhood books "The Eleventh Hour, by Graeme Base" that you put the "walkthrough" in a section of the book at the end with a sticker folded around the pages, like a seal. You have to break the seal to get the answers (and unbroken seals become collectors items)

I thought it was fun anyway :)
