Update and Playtesting

Playtesting has been ongoing, and I’d say it’s going well! The players who have completed the game have told me how much they’ve enjoyed it! I’m thrilled to hear that. It’s always nice to hear that people enjoy the work you’ve poured into a project. There have been some bumps along the way, but that’s to be expected. I’m still working on any issues that come up and fixing any details I may have…

September 2024 – Upcoming Trailer Premiere

Updates

I’m getting over a cold as I’m writing this. I haven’t been very productive the last couple of days (except on my farm in Stardew Valley XD). My brain has been too tired to code or write music, so I took a much needed break to let it rest.

Before I got sick I got a lot done this month! The final scenes in the game are almost done. I just have one more scene to put together after that, one more puzzle to code, some music I need to write and then it’s just small things here and there that I need to add or polish. I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made so far, and I’m still set for the game to release in the first half of 2025.

Playtesting

Soon I’ll be doing playtesting! I playtest everything when I put it together to make sure everything works as it should, but there are always little things I miss, so that’s a really important phase in development. I have a group of people who will be doing a first round of playtesting, but I will be asking for more playtesters either at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. I’ll make an announcement when that opens up. Keep that in mind if you’re interested!

New Trailer Premiere

I’ll be releasing a new trailer at the end of next month! A developer friend helped me put it together, and I’m so excited for you all to see it! It premieres October 25 at 8:30pm CT. Click “notify me” in the video below or save the link from YouTube so we can all watch it together as soon as it goes live! I’ll see you there!

That’s all for now! Thank you for following me along on this journey!

August 2024 Update and Other Mystery Games

These past few weeks I’ve gotten so much done! A few more puzzles are coded, a lot of the logic is setup and another song is written. Things are going pretty good, but my brain is fried. Here’s a sneak peak at one of the puzzles in the game: It’s been a challenge to make this puzzle hard enough to be a challenge, but not so hard that it’s frustrating. I think I’ve gotten a balance in there.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about a few other mystery games that some friends are developing right now! You may have seen the game announcement for Penelope Pendrick and the Art of Deceit. If you haven't go over and wishlist it on Steam. My developer friend Julia has been hard at work on this game for years and she's excited to share this game with you.

A few other mystery games in the works are Super Spy Academy, What Was Found at Raven Hill and Amelia Darnell.

It's a good time to be a mystery game lover right now. All of these developers are putting a great deal of love into these games so keep an eye out!

July 2024 Update

It’s already the middle of July! It’s crazy how fast this year has been going by as I continue my work on Alex Hill. My family has been asking me when they think I’ll get the game released. It can be hard to know exactly when a game will be done because it feels like a huge puzzle I’m slowly piecing together. I have large parts of the puzzle done, but I still have large chunks missing as I search…
