[Free Game] Zak McKracken - Hot Coffee. A classic point and click adventure game.

[Ogni-XR21]

I have made a game, I hope it's okay to share it with you.

Zak McKracken goes looking for Hot Coffee (in several wrong places) is a classic point and click adventure game. It is a sequel to Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, set right before the events of the fan game Zak McKracken - Between Time and Space.

A classic point and click adventure game that pays homage to the LucasArts adventure games of the 80s and 90s.

Development began as a test project to get to know the Visionaire engine but it slowly took on a life of it's own. Originally building on assets from the fan game Zak McKracken - Between Time and Space, adding new animations, several new locations, and reworking the interface.

Supported languages are English and German.


It's a labour of love, I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it.

Wow! I remember Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders!! Why did you decide to ship the game for free after so many hours working on it?

Edit: Should i play time and space before starting this one?

 

[JigglesBunny]

Have to be honest, this was not the sort of thing I was expecting when I read the words "hot coffee."

Slightly disappointed.

This is a fan game, I'll be lucky if this doesn't get taken down. So selling it is not an option, I won't even dare to take donations for it... It's also using a lot of assets from the fan adventure game 'Zak McKracken - Between Time and Space' which many people worked on without getting paid.

That version remains in my private collection ;-)

Ohh i see, i thought it was a free propriety, like everyone could work on his own version of the game or sometime.
I also thought you were the creator of time and space ahah.

Did you make other adventure game beside this one?

 

[Yossarian]

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Looks good!

 

[Yarbskoo]

Does it play like the original Zak McKracken, or is it more like the later Lucasarts games? Are there dead ends and sudden game overs?

 

[Zombine]

Wow! This is cool man. Congrats on completing your game.

 

[Messofanego]

Dude, this is awesome!

I only did animation work on the other fan game. Other than that I haven't made any other games. I don't know if I have it in me to start a new one.

It's a coin-interface (MI3/Full Throttle) and not 9-verb based. We released the original Zak2 back in 2008 with a 4:3 aspect ratio and a 9-verb interface. But for the 16:9 release in 2015 we changed it.
There are no dead ends or game overs, it's more a LucasArts-era game and not a Lucasfilm Games one, if that makes sense.

Cool, I'll check it out as I loved the original game and the catchy opening theme. Might have to play the original again (while looking at a solve to avoid dead ends sigh) and then move on to this game - glad to hear that there aren't dead ends.

It's the same opening theme, this one was done by my brother. He was the one who kind of got me involved with the original Zak2 project. I personally really like the version I used in the savescreen menu.

Thanks, downloaded and will check it out at some point. Never heard of the original games but I like point and click games so I'll check those out too.

Nice, that's a plus in my book.

Zak McKraken (the C64 version) is the first adventure game I ever owned. I like this thread.
