Devlog 005 - Third Victim Mostly done

Hello!!

A little bit late on this one, but here’s what I did this week!

Third Victim

I started on designing the third victim this week. I wanted her to have some parallels to both the detective as well as Doctor Reyes. Your first look at her is in the morgue section of the first day. Since you only have time to examine 2 of the 3 bodies, & breaking into the morgue at night is optional, it’s possible to miss her examination entirely.

I’m happy so far, but I still have details to iron out & evidence to begin extrapolating.

Demo section revisions

I went back to revise some stuff in the demo to work with newly written stuff. A couple of decisions are added regarding evidence, as well as some flags regarding how the player treats the sheriff. The sheriff & your relationship with him is an important one throughout the game, so I wanted to add more weight to the decisions made regarding him.

I still have some more edits to make in the diner scene with the sheriff, but overall those revisions are completed.

Morgue B&E

I also wrote some more this week for if you the player opts to break into the morgue at night with Reyes’ key. This is where you get your second look at the 2nd,3rd, & newest body. Some additional documents have also been delivered to the morgue in Reyes’ absence.

next week

For next week, I’d like to have the entire first morgue section done, but we’ll see how that goes. I’ve been jumping around each section & slowly building things up per victim. Once all that is done, it’ll be writing out the entire investigation.
