    Hi Everyone,
    I wanted to announce a new game I've been working on called Dickie Little. It's a point and click adventure game similar to the 90's style Sierra Adventure games.

    You can see preview videos at my website http://www.wattanasoft.com
    or here's some direct links to a couple of You Tube videos.

    Any comments would be appreciated,

    Could you please call this game something else? Especially those two words together, give it quite the inappropriate impression. It does look pretty good though.

    Thanks Upside down, I hope it doesn't offend anybody, its mean't to be humours. The games a take off of the classic Leisure Suit Larry series. I'll certainly take it into consideration and if anyone else has an opinion about the tile, please tell me.

    I think the name is memorable to be honest. It actually sounds like a 90s point n' click kinda game. Not loving a title would be a pretty terrible reason to ignore a good game.

    Yeah but having that title on your device would be weird to show to other people.

    You do know that Apple might censor your name?

    Yeah, I did think about that. I'm hoping Apple will be ok with it, but I'm expecting them to slap an NC17 rating on it.

    I was watching the video, and looking at the guy, the background, the decor, the music and was thinking "Leisure Suit Larry"!!

    I am dating my self (Im too old to be playing video games) - but I remember playing all those things. LSL was great until they ruined it. Kings Quest series - Sierra Quest was ruler in those days.

    So, you succeeded in having a LSL feel. If the rest of the game has the humor, and the attention keeping qualities of that series, I would hope it will do great. Of course those were those days, and who knows what kids like nowadays.... I have 3 of them and (not to be too sexist) their minds change as fast as a womans.

    Be interesting following this one through.

    I think the name is great, I don't think the target audience for a game like this is kids who need to share their iPods with their little sisters anyway. If the game is anything like Leisure suit Larry, the name of the game is just going to be the tip of the iceberg.

    Looks great so far, I'd love to see more gameplay videos that show a little more than just walking around.

    Hodapp, I think you make a good point about the target audience... I forgot to mention the ladies name in the picture is Cateline Coqueintake with her friends Neal and Bob. :)

    I'll get some game play videos up for you once I finish this animation scene.
