Oh MAN has it been a while.
Working on a degree, working, and spending time with friends and family are all already a lot to juggle.
Sometimes you got to take a break with the things you juggle.
Unfortunately that meant this dearly beloved of mine 😔.

I also watched a friend play it and saw how... things could have been done better to say the least.

For now the game changes are as follows:
1. Vastly decreased the number of enemies on The Road

Just one thing.
I do still hope to make some other edits (like the sewers and less monotony with the dungeon levels), but a lot has received higher priority (like mental health for instance).
I'll be taking another crack at it this Summer. If not then, then after I get that degree I am shooting for.


Thank you to all who have played this dream of mine. I hope it has at least in some way provided some kind of message to you, whatever it may be. Fighting for what you love despite the opposition and the validity of it? Or taking the time to enjoy all the people in the world? Or maybe how can it be so hard to make a plain hamburger?

Thank you



P.S. I decreased the price of the game to $1.99 (as I should have done a long time ago)
While it is an old "first-time game" with many flaws (my design decisions included), I still love it and would love for it to be enjoyed in some form or fashion by many people.

Here is the Event Calendar for the first half of April.

Hello there,

This latest update addresses the following:

1. Added a set of tour tips when finding a Primary Scene. This helps to explain all the elements necessary to solve each case, such as the perpetrator, motive, weapon, etc.
   
2. Fixed how certain tour tips are triggered so they don't interfere with cinematics.
   
3. Fixed an underwater location so it's not in geometry.
   
4. Fixed how some of the newspaper headlines are generated so it fits what you've discovered properly.

Only a few weeks left until release!



Thanks,

Larry

-With this update, we have updated the "Help" section to help some of our players get used to the game controls faster. You can now find a description of all the necessary controls on a single screen.

-We also noticed that some players were shooting loot dropped from enemy ships, causing the game to crash. (The loot system is not yet integrated into the game, and loot boxes are only in the game for development purposes). This bug is fixed.


(In game: Settings/ help/ how to play)

• Sound button added to menu, this will allow for the adjusting of volume for players with varying setups.
  
• New segment added.
