Saving a spot for one thing I’ve been engaged on for fairly a while (the work has began in July 2021 however solely not too long ago has it reached a state the place it is considerably showable).

As said within the title of the submit, the sport goes to be a tiny, super-short thriller journey drawing inspiration from a Commodore 64 sport “The Detective”. The participant takes the function of a Scotland Yard inspector invited to a British countryside mansion to resolve the case of a mysterious deadly accident.

Or perhaps it was not an accident in any respect? And did the butler have something to do with it…?

Anyway, the sport is being created in Unity and the visible type is a consequence of two components: my deep affection for mixing low-poly 3D with pixel-art and the truth that I’m principally a programmer, not a graphic artist. Gameplay-wise the sport can be reasonably just like “The Detective” – the participant walks across the mansion and gathers clues by speaking to characters, interacting with objects and gathering objects. The time will move in real-time () and there may also be a tough time restrict (identical to in C64 unique). Control scheme is reasonably easy (motion, motion, cancel) and can assist each keyboard and gamepad (together with touch-screen controls, trace, trace  ).

Most of the story, characters, dialogues, objects, objects and mansion structure is established and determined upon and at present I’m specializing in precise manufacturing utilizing Aseprite for graphics and Blockbench for 3D modelling (have you learnt Blockbench? OMG it is so cool!). The work goes reasonably slowly (however regular!), so I anticipate this thread to be up to date considerably commonly, even when not too usually.
