Changelog: http://banov.blogspot.com/2010/06/dubloon-complete.html
Notice: Because of bug in earlier versions of the game, you might find a situation where you lose crew members or have a crewmate who has a blank name. If that happens, I highly recommend you REDOWNLOAD as the most recent versions fix these bugs automatically upon startup. All you need to replace is the EXE, so the Lo-Fi download works just as well. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Downloading this now, slow connection tonight so it'll take a bit. But wow, this looks like an immense undertaking, congratulations on finishing it!

EDIT: Hahaha, I love your loading screen! Very clever.

Anyone else reminded of Earthbound/Mother by the graphics? Familiar style, I guess. I like it.

edit: I've played about 2 hours of it so far and I really like it. Music is top notch, but a bit loud. Turning down the volume turns every thing down, unfortunately.

I feel bad pointing this out, but you spelled "doubloon" wrong.

This is a pretty fun game, though the music doesn't play in game, but the sound effects. still work

Congrats on finally finishing this Banov! I'll give it a run through sometime this week for sure I'll have to get further than the first boss this time

This is pretty awesome.  A little cliche, and the bright blue menus make my eyes burn, but there is a lot of substance here.  I found a game-breaking bug though: in the stealth area, attempting to run produces a "cannot find sound" error.  Since it appears I have to run to get by the second guard, there is a bit of a problem here.  Also, is it intentional that the blond spiky haired dude has a blank name?  Given that some NPCs refer to him by name pretty early on, I'm guessing not.  I may have selected a blank name by accidentally clicking on the accept button, but I don't recall getting a name-select menu for him so I don't know.  It's a bit annoying for his name to be rendered blank, for obvious reasons.

Still, I have enjoyed what I've played so far, good job!

I'm so sorry! I made a few nervous changes right before uploading the game and now it cost me. I'm uploading a fixed version now with those bugs gone. This is really embarrassing and I'm sorry to those who had to deal with my awfully unprofessional mistakes.

That however I am aware of! I chose "Dubloon" to scavenge for unique web search results and because I like the look of it better.

Post'd.

Found another bug: In the "step on all the hidden tiles" section, solving the puzzle sets the "move the camera to the chest" animation on loop.  Well, the first time I solved it, I tried going up the stairs and it kinda glitched up.

Don't feel discouraged though, I've had tons of fun and you've been really quick to fix the last bug I mentioned.

This looks like a lot of fun, downloading as we speak.

Awesome game. I remember when you posted an early version of this is in the feedback section here a while back. I played about an hour of the game so far and it was great. I'm looking forward to playing though the rest of the game too!

I just checked and that didn't come up for me--and it's never come up for the few dozen people who have played through there before.  Which is to say, I will look into its causes and upload a bugfix sometime, but, it's a rare enough happenstance that if you play again on this version it will work ok.

EDIT: Figured it out! It happens when you try and go back downstairs after making the chest appear. Again, embarrassing. Bugfix forthcoming.

EDIT2: And fixed! I also added compatibility with GameJolt trophies.

I find this emoticon gains news significance given the subject of the game, too.

[lasttea999]

I've followed this game from way back, and I must say, it's lots of fun!

I found a really unfortunate bug, though...

*SPOILER*

After I beat the final boss, I tried both saving the crew and saving the Golden Chest, in that order. When I loaded my save file after saving the chest, my crew had been reduced to one person, and I can't seem to get back my other crew members, even though in the cutscene with the Golden Chest the crew are still there.

*SPOILER END*

How can I fix this?? 

[Banov.]

*SPOILER*

I guess in some sense that's ironic justice, but, that wasn't intentional! This one is really odd, because not only do I remember this happening to me, but I also remember fixing it and testing it and it working. I just went back to check and the code I had written was mysteriously missing  I'm not even kidding, this is freaking me out. Been uploading bugfixes all day and now I know the game's just messing with me or something.

Send me an email at (banov g at g mail dot com) with your save file attached and I will PERSONALLY fix it for you. Also uploading a bugfix post haste.

Guys I am really sorry about all these dumb bugs you don't even know how stressed it's been making me every time I think I ironed out the last one and another one shows up.
