Another Small Favor is now live, of course like any new launch nasty little bugs creep up. Rest assured we'll crush them quickly.

The game was conceived as a trilogy, so expect a big finale to the Favor story.

In other news, A Small Favor was nominated for E4 Adventure Game of the Year 2009. The winner is determined by public voting, so cast your vote!

Vote for A Small Favor for E4 Adventure Game of the Year

I haven't made a new post on here in forever. So here it goes...

Just a quick update, "ANOTHER SMALL FAVOR" is almost ready for launch! It should hit the portal very soon, keep your point and click finger ready.

In another news, I've added a new person to the ZEEBARF team. This one I created from scratch. My wife and I had our first baby!

Our baby boy, Logan, arrived on July 25th. What a trip!

I've duct taped a pencil to his little hand, so in another 15 years expect some great portal entries from him :)

Well Riftmaster and I just wrapped the initial production of my new game "A Small Favor". Now it needs a few good eye balls to give it a once over and source out all the bugs.

If you're up for the task go to www.zeebarf.com and join the zeebarf newsletter. I'll be sending out a link to the beta version in my mailing list tomorrow!

What's it about? It's an adventure puzzle game in the vein of "Reemus" except with a more open world and starring an alien assassin with a gun that liquefies people.

Interested? Head over to zeebarf.com!

See ya in the portal...

I've gotten a lot of emails about Reemus Chapter 3, it's on the way. I've been slowly working on the design and story. I'm proud to announce that NegativeONE will be doing all the programming for it this time around, which frees me up to spend more time creating deeper puzzles and design. I hate giving release dates since I usually blow them, but I'm guessing end of February/March.

In other news, Mitch Bowden, the composer for all my Reemus games has finally released the long awaited album from his band, Don Vail. Support independent music and buy a copy.

Digital downloads are available on Zunior.com or buy a CD copy via their Don Vail Myspace

jayisgames.com released their nominations for Best of Casual Gameplay 2008. I'm excited to announce all three chapters of my Reemus saga were nominated for Adventure game of the year! If you feel like sending me some love, cast your vote for your fav Reemus chapter!

Thanks again for all the support! Expect a new Reemus and Liam chapter very soon!

Just a quick update for those asking about the latest Reemus game...

The good news is Chapter 2 is almost done! The bad news is it took me forever! Trying out new puzzles and pushing the animation and character interaction seemed like a great idea at the time, but it really doubled my workload, destroying all hopes of hitting my October release date.

I got a little too ambitious I guess. Hopefully the extra effort makes for a better game experience, but in reality I have no idea what people will respond to. It's all a big experiment in game design for me.

If anyone would like to help me beta test and debug it, just go to www.zeebarf.com and join the mailing list. Once I get it to a place that I like, I'll put it out to my mailing list to test before I launch it on NG. That way the version I put on here will be bug free and polished...well in theory anyway :)

Thanks for being patient!

I would just like to say thanks to everyone for all the words of encouragement and criticisms. They all help me work towards making something even bigger and better.

It's sometimes hard to know what direction to go next, if you read through the reviews it seems like each one contradicts the next. It's too easy, it's too hard. Gameplay is boring, gameplay rules. So I'm putting it out there. Other than adding in voices, what other game improvements would you like to see in the next chapter?

Do you like the simple point and click gameplay? Or would you rather see it pushed more towards the classic adventure games with inventory and such?

This series is an experiment for me, a training ground to learn what goes into making the perfect adventure/puzzle game. I'm still a ways off, but I'm slowly learning!

I have my own checklist for Chapter 2, but I'd love to hear yours.

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks again
