4.15 / 5.00 16,913 ViewsIt's FINALLY FINISHED!! God has this project bin in development for a long time; I was starting to think I wouldn't get it in for 2008.
This is a contemplative art game I made where I try to communicate what I went through with a life experience I once had. I really put my heart into this one, and I think it leaves me very emotionally vulnerable, but as long as I get my message across I think I'll be satisfied. I won't explicitly outline what the game's ABOUT or what you're SUPPOSED TO take away from it- I'll leave that up to you, the player, to make your own interpretations.
Now I know that some of you will be asking about a sequel, and believe me my inbox is allready full of suggestions for DUCK SIM 2009, but as I've mentioned in many interviews, I don't really BELIEVE in sequels. Saying that, DUCK SIM is planned to be a trilogy. I'm experimenting with this new episodic games trend and I think DUCK SIM is a perfect candidate to test the water (pun intended).
Thanks to everyone who offered help and gave support along the development of this, I am in severe financial debt to alot of people right now, but I'm confident that this is step 1 to making it all back.
So for anyone still reading this, I'll stop biding time and let you enjoy the game- Although I don't like calling it a "game", but more of an interactive experience.
Oh- Also, can you please report any glitches to me by way of either PM or E-mail, thank you.

Was good but theres a problem.
I was very close to giving this a perfect score but sadly there is a game killing bug.
Like you said in the intro screen you can hit "q" to skip the dialog. I didn't skip any of it as it was actually quite entertaining. But then I get to the boss with the pop-goes-the-weasel music box thing, and he (it?) asks a question that I'm supposed to answer yes or no. The problem was I was skipping through his dialog and then ended up skipping the question! I saw it for a split second before the dialog ended and the boss fight music started. The life bar shows up, I start attacking, but the boss is still standing there and its life doesn't go down. The game pretty much ended there for me because I couldn't make anything happen. I even used the "mysterious blue feather", which had a nice visual effect but still nothing happened. I had to restart the game.
Other than that one bug, the game is great. The pixel art really works well with the music too. Good job! I want to see more.

It fails in one thing....
The duck won't drown if you keeps its head underwater. Apart from that, it's kind of realistic...

This has got to stop.
This game sucks, period. The authors comments propably took longer than it did to make the game. Newgrounders, stop giving this a ten becuase you think it is funny to pretend that it was good. It wasn't, and it's not funny.

Uhm, wtf?
I don't get this... I click on the duck and that's all!?! I'm sorry... But I really don't sense of humor of yours :(

K, i get the joke.
But sincerely, sir, you fail :) Ducks aren't quite as much white as this swan.
I really enjoy jokes, but if you'd post something like this on *chan you'd be called troll, and your threat would 404'd.
So, happy 404ing, here's a 0 for epic fail.
