We've been working on some improvements to Kaptain Brawe here and there and are now ready to share an updated version, here's what's new: Optimizations We've optimized all graphical assets which contained translated texts. This was long on our bucket list and there were a lot of full-resolution graphics that contained only a few lines of text that were duplicated for each language. We've also applied image compression (98% quality) to the original 800x600 graphics, which yielded huge size reductions. Together these 2 optimizations reduced the game by a whopping 250MB! So the game, even with ne

A few months ago, we took over publishing for one of Bill Tiller's beloved adventure games: Duke Grabowski: Mighty Swashbuckler! Since then, we've worked to bring the game up to modern standards by restoring the original 4K artwork, adding support for many new languages, fixing known bugs, and making numerous other improvements. Duke Grabowski is a charming pirate adventure and is a love letter to classic games such as Monkey Island. Featuring Bill Tiller's signature art style, memorable characters, and plenty of humor, it's a great choice for fans of traditional point-and-click adventures. If

Hi Everyone,Time for another update for our beloved game :)Aside from some minor text corrections, we fixed a few small issues and a few bigger ones.The most notable are:Thanks to the help of a player from Germany, we were able to fix a rare bug at the end of the game. In this bug, the player got locked in the ship's engine room and couldn’t get out. The fix also automatically unsticks the game if anyone else is affected.After many months, we finally fixed a slow-creeping memory leak that affected the Linux version! On some computers, the game would crash after about 2 hours of gameplay.The ga

A new version of the game is now available, with various smaller fixes and improvements: Improvements: Subtitle sync fixed Some users experienced subtitles not syncing to voiceovers properly. This should now be fixed for good. The game now uses the actual playback position from the sound card instead of an arbitrary timer. If you experienced desync in the previous version, please give the new version a try and let us know in the comments if it's working ok now on your PC. PS: Only English subtitles have been fixed at the moment, another update will be made in a few days with German subtitle sy

A long time ago, in a modest office not so far away - Cateia Games began work on Kaptain Brawe... It was 2009, most of us were still in College, and we were living the dream - We were finally developing games full time! Sure, the games we worked on weren't blockbusters, but we poured our heart and soul into them, making best of what we could do and afford at the time. Kaptain Brawe was our 3rd point and click adventure game and the first one that looked really, really good! Needless to say, we were all very excited to work on the game and enjoyed every minute of it. To this day, dozens of game

After replaying Kaptain Brawe (yet again :)), I realized a few things that can be improved. And if that makes the game even a fraction of a percent better, why not :) There were many instances where different playable characters would comment the same location or inventory item - in the exact same way! Which, in hindsight, is not good. Every character should have its own mind and a slightly different take. It's not only natural, it makes reading/listening to these comments more interesting. So I've re-written several hundred lines of texts to address this. Sometimes the changes were slight, ot

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to point out that most of our games still run on old machines! It's not by accident, we make sure to use older development tools that allow this. While not many players use Windows XP these days, we think it's a shame to deprecate old computers, especially if older versions of our games used to run on them. Aside from XP, some of our games actually work on old Macintosh computers, and we're talking PowerPC-old OSX machines, before apple switched to using Intel CPU's. PS: Unfortunately Steam no longer works on these OS's and thus our games won't start, but we can provid

As the 15th anniversary of the first release of Kaptain Brawe approaches, we've decided to take some time to give the game a fresh new look! We had to comb through a lot of backup CD's and DVD's to find the original artwork sources which we then upscaled with various tools and scripts (and a lot of manual labour!). Additionally, we needed to adjust and optimize the game's code to properly support these changes. Thankfully it was all worth it and the results are pretty great! Originally designed for 800x600 resolution, the game now supports both Full-HD and 4K graphics, which is quite a glow up

We're happy to announce the release of the Linux version of Kaptain Brawe! As far as our games are concerned, Linux is no longer a "second-class citizen", we're rolling out Linux support for ALL games in our catalogue and we will continue to support our games on all 3 major Steam platforms with updates from now on. Everything works nicely, we tested the game on many Linux distributions as well as Steam Deck. We built the game for Linux according to Steam developer guidelines so we don't expect much problems, but if you do encounter issues, please write in the Discussion forum and we'll investi

A mild eruption of excitable comments on Twitter drew my attention to the Kaptain Brawe 2 Kickstarter. Having just launched, it’s a long way from its $150,000 goal but there are 34 days to go and there seems to be a fair amount of good feeling for the original game. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here at RPS Towers where news of the crowdfunded sequel to the comedic sci-fi point and clicker was met with confusion and fear. I think I’m the only one who clicked on the link but all of our responses are below. …
