(she'll want your money, down payment plus a royalty deal, I'll bet you)

I have an actual question about the game, can you edit controls...possibly support for gamepad/joystick?

To be honest, I don't think it will, at least not in the first version because that would take over a day to implement, a day I don't have! It'll be on my patch list for the second release, I just wouldn't have the time right now

The split screen mode can be played as Keyboard Keyboard or Joypad Keyboard however, but the single player is always the keyboard at the moment.

Today and yesterdays work:

@ drew, i know this was an older post, if you really want katie holme to advertise D&C then offer her 10%, you see people think wooow 10% thats a good rate for saying something like 'Hi I'm Katie holmes and I love Dumbo and Cool, and I think the creator and seppuku geijutsu are really sexy, so come and buy dumbo and cool online today, ooh Seppuku excites me' when in truely she's prolly get about £20 a month from ya

yeah... I think that is how he named it...

Video looks good, but why do you refer to dumbo as male on your site and female in the new game?

"I went shopping to find some camoflague clothes yesterday, but I couldn't find any"

Is this suppose to mean something *Implys that it does*

Enough Katie Holmes discussion already!

Because Dumbo only recently got a gender change for design reasons.
Camoflague clothes message = A joke.

Very nice video

The only thing I could to be critical about, is that when Dumbo tags cool, Cool is just standing there looking into space, and looks very static (maybe liven him up a bit)

Ohter than that little flaw (which is just me being super-critical) it was a great vid to watch. Can't wait to see it in-game (as such).

The very first part.. Comeon, we're playing tag not hide and see... she giggles twice, says comeon dumbo twice too.. Is that a bad video/sound edit or is it supposed to be that way? Besides that it seems very good...

I'm not sure i like the whole "Yeah.... Cool part" though

A bad bit of script writing actually, when I sent off the script to the voice acting centre, it said 'comeon' twice - my fault! I think the giggle can stay twice, but the 'comeon' sounds clumsy, I agree - I was hoping nobody else would notice but if someone has, it means it's time for a change! Thanks Merix!

Okay, two valid suggestions. Any more?

The whole helicopter sequence is awesome, smooth landing, cool atmospheric transition into cloudy and raining.

Like said above, it might be good to have Cool running around as if looking for Dumbo, when I watched it first I thought the one Dumbo bumped into was supposed be cool...then I wondered why Cool would be pink.

The only other thing is that when Cool is telling Dumbo she's cheating, Cool is doing some good arm waving motions to let you know who's talking, but then he repeats the animation when cool starts talking. Have Cool stop waving when Dumbo talks and maybe have her bob up and down a bit, just for identification's sake for people who haven't played it before.

After Dumbo has jumped in the pool and she says "Thats your problem...not mine!" it goes to a long shot, I can't tell if Dumbo is still wearing the goggles or not. Im just blind

All good points, BearCDP - I'll look into all of that in detail.
Saberdude, yes, she is wearing her goggles.

The new, improved introduction film, which is about 2-3 times longer than this sample will be included in the final demo on July 31st. Thanks for the input, everyone!

Drew... technically shouldn't the studes (I spelled that wrong) be landing on the far most island, because that is where they were in the game? And to allow Dumbo and Cool time to escape?
(Unless Dumbo jumps in the water and Cool does whatever he does)

Looking a little closer I noticed that one of the studes' cigar had smoke while the other did not, just a note.

Pre Demo Update


Okay, in light of the upcoming demo (4 days to go) I thought I'd post a whole load of progress from the game.




The concept version of the game, November 2004. It was originally going to be alot more similar to Dumbo's Adventure, which I know Megaton hated



The elusive train level, which does exist. I know alot of people were curious.







Lecture - the game's villain. He is a giant Stude, with a cool crown and cape (The 3D cloth & Particles pack finally came in useful). He owns, despite some dodgy animation. Oh yeah, and Dumbo and Cool actually do meet Lecture at the end of the game, with some seriously big explosions as a result... I wish I could tell everybody more, but I guess you'll have to buy the game to see what I mean.

How's it all coming along, Drew?


4 of the game's 5 levels are done, the intro film is almost done and 6 of the game's 12 puzzle levels are done. Thankfully I have another 30 days to complete the game, so here's hoping I won't miss another deadline...

Ha ha, I'm afraid you won't be finding it in PCWorld.

It'll be on sale at my website - http://www.drewsgames.com and soon at it's own website - www.dumboandcool.com

You'll need PayPal [ http://www.paypal.com ] to buy it, but it's free to sign up for a PayPal account and your parents will probably have one already anyway. PayPal has 78 million users, so I thought it was a good option for selling online.

Good stuff,
Contact me after the release and we'll sort something out for you

It's going to be the tightest deadline I've ever had, for anything. I finished editing my skateboarding film (A Wonderful Thing - http://www.ddrw.com) with just two hours to go until it was premiered in a cinema with 200+ people, who had bought tickets - That was a close call, but I think this will be closer...

As Dumbo says in the game, "My pleasure".

On a similar note, I'm getting round to putting names in for the guys you save. I had originally had a thread where people posted suggestions, and I decided on 17. Unfortunately, there are no longer 17 places so I've cut alot of suggestions

The names that appear in the game are;

He,

cool that you sell DaC via PayPal, then i probably can buy it next time .... but its only a downlad, isn't it ? A boxed product would be cool, but doesn't really matter ....


Lets hope the Demo is great ...

Drew with PayPal, when you sell something don't you have to pay a fee or something like that?

Anyway I like the way Lecture is a giant Stude
