DREW, I am ashamed, for I have not tried dumbo and cool until today. But it is awesome! Easily one of the best games made in DBP.

You've got my $10 and a swift kiss in the mouth!

I have bought the game and it is worth the $10, even if it's on the short side. I really love the vids, especially the one for the train!! This is incredibly well done and I'd easily go and start the would game over just to play through the awesome levels (and I will, too... many, many times). There are a lot of clever game play mechanics in this, as well as some very well laid out levels. It's so satisfying to knock the studs out that I've gone out of my way a few times to do it!!!

I'm seriously impressed Drew, and I can't wait for you next few games!!!

This better be featured in the tgc mag... And I they should definitely display it in the games section along side firewall.

Looking fantastic, Drew, I'm hoping to buy it soon enough. I really can't wait for your next games, and a Dumbo & Cool 2 would go down real nice with me.

Oh, and Jimmy, that has to be the most serious post I've seen you make in ages.

And long live the sexy Katie Holmes sigs!

Awesome, I swear as soon as I am back in work I am going to buy a copy, and next time beware the feature creep (I got room to talk though...I have just gone and done the exact same thing and made a serious mess outa my code..don`t know if its going to be easier to remove the additions or sort this mess out..sigh!), I hope you get NO initial teething problems, they can be a downer when you think its all done and dusted and someone can`t even get it to run, or worse it runs but all messed up.

Hey Drew, nice finished game The voice acting is fantastic, even if they repeat themselves a little too much I also love the music, especially the song during the credits.

Glad you like it Jeku; you'll find it under "music>2>loop.mp3" if you'd like to listen to it more; assuming you haven't already found it

30 new screenshots up: showing off such never before seen obstacles and enemies as the fork lift and conveyor belt ride from the full game.

I'm the real Katie Holmes and I say it's okay. Here's a pic to prove it's me.



@Drew: Like I said in the program announcements thread, you must have a hell of a lot of determination to keep going with this for so long. Congrats.

@ Drew Cameron
I will try the demo on other computers, once the demo works for me, then I will most likely buy the game.
BTW - My teacher would appreciate it if you could send permission for me to use your Dumbo model in my school project. I know its not your problem and I've been an arse to you in the past, and it's a hassle for you to do that, but only if you like. I don't like pushing people to do what they don't want to..
Thanks for you consideration...

I so second that, Drew, your work being completed has inspired me to never quit on any of my projects. What are you doing here on the forums, go start working for Sony, or Bungie. You have a lot of talent.

Yep, it's to keep the file sizes down because there's alot of videos in the game. It's not that bad though, surely?; just squint a bit or sit back.
