Sarah --
We have gotten a lot of feedback that many of you really have enjoyed getting to know the team a little bit better. That was my main reason for writing that post. As a team, we feel strongly that we need to be open to you guys and really let you in on what we are doing...etc. I look at many projects out there and I wish I could know more, not just about the projects themselves, but about the people behind them.
As for not knowing anything about programming, you would surprise yourself pretty easily I would guess. I plan on making some posts about how AGS works (starting with the basics) and I'll even show some of the inner workings of QFI. The truth is, anyone can make a game with AGS, you just need to know where to begin.
Really seeing the Steve sketches over the years, Steve is getting better and better. He sent me one just last night that really got me excited.
Steve Sketch montage. Too meta?
Nah. I want a special edition where every background from the finished game is replaced with its original Steve Sketch...
"Look out, or else Mr. Roehm will fall into that blue squiggle -- I mean, the Volks river !"
Now there's an idea!

Nice find Bt! If you guys looks closely, you can see the original resolution was 320x200. Having been there from the beginning, I am amazed at all the little (and big) changes that the game has taken so far.
Backers can see some screen shots of the final combat system in the backers forums.
Anything else in there?
We've been swore to secrecy, so if I did tell you what has been released from the Cave of Wonders, then I will get dragged off to the secret dungeon.
On my own notes, there is only one thing I want to add at this point (since I am only half way through testing it myself), I hope there are more funny death moments. When I was in the pharmacy and the narrator was saying "You really don't want to touch that", all I could think was "OK, create a save file here, and lets see how I die", but no funny death happened
But I know that this is only the demo, and we will see many funny deaths in the game itself. You only have to look at the "trying to pick up the fishing pole" part for one such example
Cool!
One last thing I'll add, I don't know if this is planned or not, but it'd be nice if the main character had some kind of armor, and a way to measure his attack/defense level. It seems odd he'd fight without even a leather tunic.
Also, some kind of weight carrying system would be nice too. As for buying stuff in the game, I don't know if buying fancy rare items in investing in special business ventures (thief hideout? New Brigand gear? WHOREHOUSE?!) would work best, but it'd be pretty cool!
