Be a Fan, Man

Two fan-alicious competitions in the works:

In the first one, you are battling for the opportunity to appear as a character in Time Gentleman, Please, the sequel to Zombie Cow’s hilarious adventure game Ben There, Dan That!. All you have to do to enter is let Ben and Dan know what kind of character you would play in the game. Leave your entry in the comments section of the contest post.

The second competition is a promotion for Jill Off Harder, the upcoming expanded version of Auntie Pixelante’s Mighty Jill Off. Submit your Jill fanart to vie for either a pair of running shoes or a notebook, both hand-painted to your liking by Mighty Jill Off conceptual artist James Harvey. This particular Jill Off ends on Halloween.

To help inaugurate their new company, called Zombie Cow Studios, Dan Marshall and Ben Ward have released Ben There, Dan That!, a freebie adventure game starring none other than… them. It will sit side-by-side with Gibbage, their popular multiplayer deathmatch game (which is now half-price at £3/$6).

Ben There, Dan That! is funny, self-referential, and dutifully pays homage to all the Lucasarts classics (while poking a bit of fun at them). Definitely worth a look if you like old-school adventure games. Or humor. Or things of that sort.

By the way, whether or not they were a product of laziness, I absolutely love the walking animations.

(Thanks, seregrail7!)
