[h1]Getting ready to ship, captain![/h1] Alasdair has been tweaking and polishing (and breaking and fixing) Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! for many months now. 1920x1080 HD resolution and a FULL VOICE OVER in English are the obvious highlights, but read on for a full list of the improvements we've made to the original 2007 game. [h1]New resolution[/h1] The game now runs in full 1920x1080 HD, (as well as other widescreen resolutions). This is flipping massive compared to the tiny, square original graphics (see trailer video). [h1]Full voice acting (English only)[/h1] Extremely cheap voice acting by Alasdair Beckett-King, real Nelly and literally no one else. Think of it as a director's commentary where I get to do a load of dodgy accents. (Yes, this feature CAN be switched off.) [h1]Support for more operating systems[/h1] Full support for macOS and Linux as well as all recent Windows systems. [h1]Other improvements[/h1] [list] [*]Streamlined point & click interface. [*]Improved launcher app. [*]Bad jokes replaced with good jokes (I wish). [/list] [h1]New "business" model[/h1] [list] [*] Cheapest price ever. [*] ABK's year 1 revenue goes to the birds. [/list] We've put a lot of work into this remastered edition. However, Spoonbeaks Ahoy! is a shorter game than The Fowl Fleet, and the original was freeware. So we've decided to make this release super, super-cheap. We won't announce the price yet, but we're looking at an amount so small, the publisher will find it hard to discount it. But that didn't seem like enough. So, for 1 year after launch - after fees and taxes are deducted - Alasdair's share of revenue will go to the RSPB, a British charity taking care of our feathered friends (birds).
