Merry Christmas For You
Dec 25, 2008 quarter to three pm
Because I forgot to get you any else, here are two never before seen pieces of DeathSpank concept art done by Clayton. Sometime soon I'll start showing actual game art done by the crack team of Hothead artists and animators.
I have to honestly say, I have never felt so good about a game and it's design than I do about DeathSpank. This thing is going to be huge. Although, after you buy 50 copies (as promised), you may not want to play it because it will wreck all games you play after that.
Up first is the demon witch Ms. Haybenstance. There is so much to like about Ms. Haybenstance, then you kill her.
Next up is Bong the Potioner. Him you don't kill 'cause he's got all the good stuff you need.

We all trust you with our entire faith in game industry, Ron! Don't fail us!
Ok, maybe I trust in Tim too. Tim has Jack Black you know.

Mostly because whatever the post is about, there will always be funny, unrelated to the topic comments.

The reason this reply was in response to this comment is because I read Ron's comment wrong.

but...
how can i say...
...if is there chance... i know is not so ease, there could be big diferences and maybe there isn't a big market...
but it would be great, realy great if you can consider or sugest the linux plataform or make tests with wine/cedega.
i'm not a console user, i don't have a mac and i dont like windows. I will buy my 50 copyes plus the 27 that gnome won't buy.
jokes apart, i can understand that the free software people is a bad market, but dont forget about us.
ps sorry about my english

Any dates for the release yet??

This year, I ripped "On Stranger Tides" out of Santa's cold hands. So far, it's a great read, and you really can tell which characters inspired Guybrush and Le Chuck. Thanks for the recommendation, years ago! (-:

Great concept art.
I hope we'll be seeing more of the game in the coming weeks. Why don't you update the official site?
Bye,
Dom

The funny thing is I held up one of my own hands like I usually do for reference. I suspect the problem was huge tumbler of gin in my other hand. Updated version over on my blog, for those who like their fingers in the right place.

Can we see art by the team that isn't on drugs? :)

Why can't people just be contented with a PC version? If they don't have a PC they won't be able to play it. Maybe Bill Gates could buy exclusive release rights for it under the Games For Win(Fail)dows banner. Then it would sell. Oh, how it would sell.

Will there be a linux version? I hope so. If not I'm gonna cry...
(and then install it using wine)
