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, other times I was a bit more creative :)
These changes were only done for the English version, FYI.

Aside from that, I found that several lines of text were removed from the game at the last minute before release, for reasons now long forgotten. And best of all - they have German voiceovers for them! So I hunted all of them down and restored them. There were about 5 such instances if I recall correctly.
Now Kaptain Brawe has a new line at the beginning of the game when interacting with the translation machine, and several new lines at the ending, one of which you can see in the image on this post. Brawe now says "TO WICTORY, of course!".

There were some other minor issues and typos we've corrected over the last few months that were reported by users on iOS and Android, these are all included in the new version.


This version also make some improvements in the way the game works on Steam Deck, so it's the first step in getting that "steam deck verified" badge.

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 provide a build of Kaptain Brawe without steam integration if anyone wants to try it out!

Here are some photos to illustrate this. These aren't old photos, they were taken a few days ago :)
The HP laptop below has a special place in our CTO's heart, it was bought by the very first money earned from sales of our games and is the computer on which most of Kaptain Brawe's game code was written. Still alive and kicking in 2023/2024!

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 if we can say so ourselves.

The new update is now live and you can download it on Steam. Give it a try and let us know what you think in the Discussion forum!
If you want to compare modes, you can switch between them either in the settings menu or by pressing F12 as you play.

PS: We have several more surprises lined up for Kaptain Brawe in the coming months. After all, it's a game we're most proud of in our long career and its age is not going to stop us from making a few improvements here and there. :)

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 investigate.

Also, if you play this game on Linux and everything works, we'd still love to hear from you and know which Distro/CPU/GPU you use.

We are happy to inform you that the game finally got an major update. Here's what you can find:
- MacOS supported (minimum 10.13)
