Hey everyone!

We launched the first version of Cap earlier this year. It wasn't great. We had tons of feedback.

A couple of months ago we started rebuilding Cap from the ground up (Tauri V2 + SolidJS).

We're now focused on being local first. Cap is 100% free to use locally.

New features include a powerful editor, screenshots, hotkeys and just overall a much better experience.

Would love for you to test it out - appreciate you!

Cheers, Richie

Doesn't look anything like the Lucas arts adventure game, I fear.

    You mean Loom™, the latest masterpiece of fantasy story-telling from Lucasfilm's Brian Moriarty? It's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic. Stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects.

    But wait, there's more!

    Loom™ has no burdensome typing, mapping, or inventory management. And unlike many adventure games today, it's easy for beginners to enjoy.

    A leading game magazine says it's “Enchanting, complex, captivating”.

    Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom™ today.
