Hi all,

the Xbox version of Your Doodles Are Bugged! has been out since a few months (see TIGSource guest review here), and I am now wrapping up work on the Windows PC version.

If you want to test a pre-release demo version of YDAB!, and give me your feedback (especially if you encounter problems), that would be great!

Download Your Doodles Are Bugged! - 0.7 - Demo (WinPC)

Game homepage (currently still mostly about the Xbox version): http://www.spyn-doctor.de/doodles/
More stuff, including some videos, on my development blog: http://spyn-doctor.blogspot.com/

Primarily I am interested in feedback about bugs and compatibility issues:

• Did you have any problems with the installation?
• Does the game start and run properly?
• Any problems with the full screen mode?
• Any problems with the mouse control?
• If you have a pen tablet, try playing with the pen, any problems with that?

All feedback (also about other issues) is welcome!

Some screenshots follow below...

Thanks for your help!

Installed and ran fine. Currently using tablet-mouse because my pen is missing, so I wasn't able to try that.

* Did you have any problems with the installation?
Not at all
* Does the game start and run properly?
Yes
* Any problems with the full screen mode?
Nope
* Any problems with the mouse control?
Nope

Everything works well about issues you're interested in.

I didn't find any bugs in game so far...but I'll keep looking for

PS: On the start, when logo is displayed, disable "ESC" key so it doesn't throw you out of the game (you know, most of people tries to skip logo display with "ESC")

Thanks for the feedback, both of you. Glad it works without problems (so far ;-).

About the ESC key: Good catch! Esc was only supposed to exit the game once you are on the start screen (when it says "click to play"). It shouldn't have exited the game on the splash screens or during loading.
I won't use ESC for splash screen skip either however, since during the time the splash screens are showing, the loading is going on in the background anyway, and loading takes longer than the splash screens (at least in my tests). So if the player would skip the splashes, he would only have to look that much longer at the "Loading Game Data" message anyway, but game start would not be faster. So having changing screens is probably a bit less boring. :-)

Thanks again,
Doc
