Really impressive start here! Love the concept.
3d models are cute and move/function well. Hits the theme pretty good. Overall, pretty fun.
Fun little idea with some good execution. Well done
Really cool art and style! The browser version lagged a lot on my laptop, but the download was a bit smoother. Despite it maybe not being completely finished, what is in the game is well polished and feels good. Noticed that the Accusation button popped up when my killer showed on screen and I found the weapon, which was a little obvious. It would also be good to have more indication of which room is which.
Overall a pretty fun game!
I really like the concept! it's something I've been trying to do and still want to do, lots of potential in puzzle-y detective games! One of the challenge of such game is it can often be a bit complex to make and complex to grasp as a player. I unfortunately, couldn't find the killer, I wasn't sure if mechanics were missing or I was missing something, but I saw nothing too obvious. (yet, we wouldnt want it to be too obvious)
Still what was there was rather neet and I'd certainly welcome more!
Even tho its not complete, it does give the feeling of playing a board game on 21th century. I wish there was a multiplayer version.. Maybe someday in the future? haha keep on trucking guys
The game is super pretty and really loved how you guys used the theme! It's funny how everything is tense and "someone is going to die" and people are dancing. I really liked the game! Had problems only with camera going wild on web player and sometimes murder weapons got stucked on a table and because it had chairs I couldn't take it anymore. Good job!
a nice one! i stumbled upon some of the mentioned bugs but it's a pleasing one overall. i'm not sure if there's no mechanics for it or i was just wrong every time but after making an accusation i was getting only "WRONG ACCUSATION". It'd be nice if there was some clue to it, like "weapon: good suspect: wrong room:wrong" or something so people know if their whole train of thought was good at any place or not ^^ I loved the menu with suspect cards btw
@rea Yeah, the game was not optmized at all, sorry for that! ^^' The game is pretty easy when you realize how the tips are made, but based on the feedbacks I'm receiving from friends it is not that easy to find out how it works. (which is a problem of this game btw). Being more clear on what place you are was on our radar, maybe putting a small sign above the doorways, but we didn't have the time to implement. For now, you can just see it in the map (pressing space) but we definetely will improve this in the future! Thank you for your feedback! :smile:
@joh and @dane-tesla Thank you guys for the feedbacks! :smile: Finding out who is the killer is a lot easier when you understand how the tips are given to you. If you want to try again sometime and want some spoilers, read this:
``` look for the suspect which presents the most angrier emotions and if you see the red one, you found it. After that, you just need to look what places the suspect is related to (in the cards menu) and try to find the weapon hidden in this place. Doing this you have the correct Suspect/Place/Weapon. ```
@dane-tesla and @stell Sorry for the bugs! :worried: The browser version was not tested properly. :tired_face: Or are you talking about the other bugs?
@dane-tesla Christine and me discussed about making a feedback based on the previous accusations but it makes the game much more easier to solve. ^^' Thank you for the feedback! :sparkles:
@d1str4kt0r Glad you liked it! We thought about doing this at least a 2 player game and one is the killer and one is the victim. Some references for what we thought is the multiplayer mode os Assassins Creed III and the good old one Spy vs Spy. :smile:
@maxathon @izokia @pieter-uys-fourie
nice game! although controls are a little too smooth. i personally didn't encounter the camera bug. i'm on opera from windows.
I'm a youtuber, your game is very nice! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk . Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.
I like the art and the idea. There was a moment when the move buttons stopped reacting. Would be nice some improvements on camera movements, especially when character is around the corner and you can't rotate camera anymore, and you can't see what is he doing there. Or maybe, this is the bug you where talking about. Overall the game makes a good impression.
A pretty little game, and a nice adaptation of Clue. It certainly spooked me a little when Mr. Green, who I was pretty sure was my killer, danced through the wall and into the room I was in haha
great concept
@space-nomad Thanks for the feedback! I'm also on Opera and Windows and I do have this bug. :worried: But on others browsers don't. Looks a bit random. The game chooses the one who will not experience it properly. :disappointed:
@torh Yeah, I can upload there too. I don't think it'll be a problem! :smile: The video you posted is from your channel? If not, can you please send me a link to it? :smile:
@hexa3 That's totally the bug I was talking about. :pensive: Really sorry for that! If you want to, the desktop version is a little bit better. Sorry! :pensive:
@mathemagician HAHAHAHA! :joy: That was a funny situation! Thank you for the feedback! :smile:
@pee-thief Thank you!
I love the twist on the Clue idea! I think when I played the game glitched out and I couldn't look under the chair that had the murder weapon (it was always highlighted but wouldn't let me interact) but I was able to solve the case by process of elimination. I would sometimes get annoyed by the other guests blocking my way through doorways but otherwise I appreciated that there were more people than just the 6 suspects present. I also was only able to solve the case by reading the spoilers in the other comments and I think it would have been helpful to have some sort of information other than "wrong accusation" if you make a guess incorrectly. Overall, though, wonderful game. Nice job!
Really fun idea! Played really well in browser, only small issue i ran into was being blocked from leaving a room by an NPC waiting in the doorway.
so I am horrible at clue haha, but wow you had all these rooms and guests moving around and searching. A lot of stuff to fit into a jam game. My only problem and maybe I missed something was that I wasn't sure which rooms were which. I had found a murder weapon in a room but couldn't figure out which room it was to accuse. The graphics 3D and 2D were really quite polished for a jam game. I loved the bio cards for all the suspects
The music was a bit repetitive, I think that song could of worked with a little more variation. and I would of loved to have heard sound effects like walking around hearing guests chit chat. I think there was a noise when I got the murder weapon. but I imagine sound was the last thing put in the game which happens a lot with me too haha.
@grentacular > I couldn’t look under the chair that had the murder weapon (it was always highlighted but wouldn’t let me interact)
That chair that is always highlighted is indeed a glitch, however for that reason it wasn't able to hide weapons. Maybe you found the weapon in other place but it didn't showed properly (which is another bug :disappointed_relieved:).
> I would sometimes get annoyed by the other guests blocking my way through doorways
That was on purpose because in the beginning we had other plans on how to investigate and the guests getting in your way was part of the challenge, but I agree that it can be annoying sometimes. By the way, they can stuck you forever in the doorways. :confused:
> have been helpful to have some sort of information other than “wrong accusation”
Yeah, reading the comments and collecting feedbacks that was something we could have done. :sweat_smile: We thought it would make the game much easier.
> Overall, though, wonderful game. Nice job!
Thank you very much for playing the game and for the valuable feedbacks! :smile:
@aj-jones
I'm happy that you didn't had problems with the browser version! It's a really shocking bug for those who has it. :disappointed:
Yeah, that also happened to me one time and I had to restart the game. Sorry for that!
And thank you for playing and leaving a comment! :smile:
@barret
> My only problem and maybe I missed something was that I wasn’t sure which rooms were which.
You can have that info pressing space bar! :smiley: We had plans to also putting a small sign above the dooways but there was no time to implement. :disappointed:
> but I imagine sound was the last thing put in the game
That's exactly the case! :sweat_smile: The sound was implemented literally in the last hour.
Thank you very much for playing and the feedbacks! :smile:
Nice game ! I like the idea and the modd of the game ! (even if I was stuck by NPC all the time while trying to go through a door x) I think I had the killer but since I found 3 weapon in her 2 designated place, I tried 2 but couldn't get the last xp to try my third time, even though I went through all the romm 3 times x/ Maybe having some margin for the xp could be nice =)
Wow! Really good Graphics! Especially the UI looks fantastic! The NPCs bugged a bit, when i ran into them, but overall really nice job!
This is a great entry. It just looks amazing.
Took me a few tries to figure out how it worked. Eventually got a win out of it... :sweat_smile:
I almost can't believe this was done in just a weekend.
@haoro Yeah, we agree that the xp mechanics didn't worked as we expected and is a bit uncool. Sorry for this. :sweat_smile: but thank you for playing and leaving a comment! :smile:
@guntainment Thank you! Christine was very happy with your comment praising her UI! :smile:
@krammetje I'm very happy that you could figure it out how it works and was able to win! :heart_eyes: We worked really hard in all the 72 hours we had! Thank you for playing and for the feedback! :smile:
