Description www.kongregate.com/games/Shire…

My coworker, Dayna Stevenson, and myself took a break and kicked out this gamejam project in a week.
Follow the quest of Algernon as he sets out to become a knight and earn the respect of his fellow countrymen (or just screw them over for fame and fortune).
It's a complete act of a point-and-click adventure (i.e. 1 town setting).  yay!

We admit it's marginally unfinished (just in terms of art assets, cosmetic bugs, and 2 deleted puzzles), but the game's playable start to finish and we eliminated all the progression stopping bugs.  Given what we did kick out in a single week, we're honestly a bit proud of it.

After judging's over we'll be updating it, and I'll be posting the complete asset collections over time.

whoa, that's a new one.

Could you tell me what you did, exactly?  Neither of us stumbled on this bug, and we'd like to make sure we can stamp it out.

k, i'll let Dayna know.  we'll look  into it.  Unfortunately we can't update this until the 18th (after judging is over).

For now, just restart the game and only click the chessboard once.  Immediately after talk to the old man.

You ask the dragon to melt the "gold" onto the little kid's sword
And then combine it with tree sap
