Nobody believes Billy Masters. He's been accused of taking drugs in high school and accusing his teacher of serious crimes. Sick of his attitude, his parents have imposed a curfew on him until he apologizes to his teacher. Now Billy thinks a sneaky psycho is at work at his neighbors and he will do anything he can to convince the world that, indeed, Billy Masters was right.

Billy Masters Was Right  is a short adventure game  in a Maniac Mansion graphic style and a plot inspired by movies like "The Burbs" or "Disturbia".

Really great game. Loved the references. 10/10 Well done! :D

Yummy!

Great game! Very immersive. You fully emphatize with Billy. 10/10.

Nice game, but the thing with Brockman feels really out of place in a game like this...

Awesome adventure which feels like "Maniac Mansion". Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 03:47:17. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

This game is good! But it does have some English grammatical errors.

Excelent to see some retro Graphics Adventures in the SCUMM Style.

Loved this game, really well made, keep up the good work!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES NOW! Love games like this favorite publisher! This video is my episode 1! 
THIS IS EPISODE 2!

i loved this game so much

Would be great to get a physical copy of this. Could setup a kickstarter!

Took me a while to get to actually lay this. Really cool game in the style of early SCUMM games. The English text is a bit off at times, but I love the graphics and the puzzles are sensible. Well done.

Hola ¿Cómo podemos traducir el juego en francés técnicamente hablando? hay un archivo de juego con todo el texto?

My friend and i have inquired about a FRENCH (Francais) patch months and months ago.  We was told it was coming but its not ready. We can help translate it for free  please contact me at :  Mhhoyt1963@gmail.com  mention " Billy Masters was right " in your email title and i will answer immediatelly

Looks terrific ! Any mac version on the way ?

Hey there. First of all, pretty good short game! I had fun. Second, I was playing the german translation and noticed during a phone call with Linus (I believe) that it pulled some dialogue from the wrong language. The text was: "Cuando salga, dejaré la batería en el plato donde come Arnold", fortunately I managed to figure out where to find the thing anyway :)

Fixed the wrong text in the german translation. Thanks for playing Billy Masters and reporting the bug!

Whoa, quick response! It's easy to feel motivated to report stuff when their are devs out there who will use them so promptly. Thanks for sharing your creations with us all.

I will reply within 24 hours maximum

Vaya pasada de juegazos que os marcáis... Back to the classics.

Brilliant game :-D I love it. It's so much in style of Maniac Mansion but has a great story on its own. Very fun. I beat it in about an hour.

Me lo he pasado pipa jugándolo. Sorprende por lo increíblemente bien escrito que está, ojalá haya muchas más aventuras por venir; por lo pronto estoy disfrutando también de de Urban Witch Story y me está fascinando su historia y personajes. Tremendo trabajo de @postmoderadventures, os seguiré la pista

Una versión para Mac, please.

Lo puedes echar a andar usando scummvm :)

¿Ah, si? lo probaré. gracias. 

Hola :-) Acabo de descargar para jugarlo en mi Mac el juego y ScummVM no me reconoce la carpeta. ¿Cómo lo has hecho? Un saludo y gracias :-)

No hemos podido hacerlo andar con ScummVM. He probado con la versión windows y con la Linux. Nunca reconoce la carpeta. ¿Alguna idea de como hacerlo?

Gracias.

Me encantaría poder jugarlo. Si alguien sabe cómo hacerlo funcionar en Mac se lo agradecería mucho.


Saludos y mil gracias 😃

Me encanta!!! Muy buen trabajo de Postmodern!!

I liked this game! It even reminded me of Zak Mckracken and the alien mindbenders! :D

(1 edit)

I really enjoyed your game. Congratulations, it's great! Would you be interested in translating it in Italian? I would do it very happily for free.

Thank you for your words! An italian translation is in the works and it will be launched soon. Stay tuned!

Very good. Next proposal then. I was able to play Billy Masters Was Right on Linux, with a native build of the AGS engine. Would you be interested if I'd send you the Linux version of your wonderful game?

(2 edits)

Sorry for the late replay! The Linux version is online now. Since I don't have Linux, I would appreciate it if you (or anyone) could tell me if everything is working properly.

(2 edits)

Actually both versions don't seem to be working right now. The Linux one seems to be corrupted or maybe it has a permission issue. Whereas the Windows one is just the Linux one: there are no EXEs! Perhaps for Linux it's better to make a .tar.gz or .tar.xz file. See 7zip: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

My mistake. I uploaded two Linux builds. Try now.

Excellent game. I would like to pay for it. How can I do that?

Wow, thank you so much for this. What a blast I had playing this game, so good!

Thanks a lot for this cool game! It is a great tribute to the genre and games like Maniac Mansion with some innovations I love.
Technically well-made and really funny, too.
Excellent all-round job and translated to different languages.
Hope you create some new point and click adventures and we can contribute somehow to your efforts. Keep on your good job!

El toque de maniac mansion me llamo la atencion para probarlo, pero es que ademas el jugo esta genial! me encanto de veras mis felicitaciones a los programadores , espero que exista mas continuaciones de este juego y incluso lo saqueis  en fisico :)

Awesome!!

I see the game in spanish even after selecting the english language. Am I the only one?


edit: I'm having exact same problem with "urban witch story" by the same dev

A very cool little game! Funny dialogues, great atmosphere and fun puzzles. All in all, a really enjoyable travel back to the eighties.

Could you add a .zip option, please?

A really nice, short adventure game that perfectly captures the spirit of old Lucas Arts Adventure games. Good writing and some fun puzzles. Really enjoyed it.

(+1)

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game.

10/10, es excelente! Sigan así!

¡Muchas gracias!

The beginning of this game reminds me very Dark Reflection game (in the beginning). Do you play it? But your game is very cool! I really like it!

I didn't know the game, i just saw it. Yes! The kitchen and the father in the living room... it's like Splatterhouse Billy Masters! Thanks for the comment!

(1 edit)

I enjoyed playing this game so much! The dialogue between the characters was hilarious. I also liked how you could choose different dialogue options. This game was so fun to play, keep it up! I made a gameplay video if anyone is interested in watching. Thank you for your time and have an awesome day! ;D

(+1)

I'm glad that you had a good time playing it! Cool video!

Excelente aventura corta. La vi en indiefence y me llamó la atención la temática. Hace tiempo que no me reía tanto con los diálogos en un juego. Aunque no soy español, viví un tiempo en Madrid, y creo que se ha logrado captar el habla de allá a la perfección. Los puzzles lógicos y, si bien sencillos, nunca se sienten totalmente obvios, pues las pistas no son explícitas. Veré de jugar tus anteriores juegos.

Gracias por el comentario, Manny!

Thank you so much for this great game and the german translation.

I love Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken on the C64 like I love your game.

That's a lot of love! Without Elvis Tanner (the translator) there wouldn't be a german translation. So thanks to him too!

This was absolutely FANTASTIC ! I have no word for it... this is not lame copycat of the masters of the genre, it is, well, a true masterpiece of the same kind !
Everything is brilliant, perfectly executed, vibrant and exactly in the vein of maniac, zak and company.
Keeping the 'pixel style' and the color palette is really making the difference here for me ; look, I enjoyed thimbleweed park (of course ! ) but it's an evolution of the genre. It's weird to say that, but I actually enjoyed BMWR much - I felt like I had 14years old again... a gem !
PLEASe, please ! Make an episde 2 (and 3, and...) :)

Wow! I have no words to say except thank you so much!

Un juego muy bien ejecutado. Se me ha hecho corto y me he quedado con ganas de mas. El estilo Maniac Mansion lo has clavado pero con el añadido de la música, que acompaña muy bien la acción.

¡Gracias por el comentario!
