Ditch that keyboard and get yourself a spaceship
Last we saw Icarus Proudbottom, he wasteaching us typing, and before that he was demonstrating hischocolate fountain. Suffice it to say, theIcarus Proudbottomfranchise is all over the place, in the best way possible. Now, Icarus takes to the stars as the captain of a spaceship inIcarus Proudbottom: Starship Captain.
Though the previous titles in the series were relatively short affairs,Starship Captainaims to be a longer, more fleshed out experience. Also unlike previous games, it will feature an updated art style; Holy Wow Studios explains that the previous pixel art style did not gel with the setting and gameplay. It is being billed as a cross betweenArtemis Spaceship Bridge Simulatorand old LucasArts adventure games.
Due to its expanded scope,Icarus Proudbottom: Starship Captainwill not be free likeThe Curse of the Chocolate FountainorTeaches Typing, and it will be seeking funding onKickstarter. Holy Wow is shooting for $50,000 as its initial goal, with plans to release on PC and Mac initially, then Android and iOS later.
