Devlog 006 - Getting back into things

First devlog for Sunofest :3c

Here’s what I got done this week :

-Went back over all my writing in order to re-familiarize myself. -Added a bunch of flavor text to the demo section of the game. -Fleshed out some of the decisions you can make in the demo section that directs the investigation. -Nearly finished up the first morgue section, just need to tie up the ending of it.

I was able to figure out the exact layout of the murders and how your decisions affect the story. It’s something that I had put off figuring out for a while since it definitely ramps up in complexity as you progress through the game.

I knew I wanted the way you treat Sheriff Douglas to heavily affect some of the areas, and I wanted to develop on the idea that both of you have different perspectives on the 20 years you’ve spent apart from each other.

That being said, I wanted the detective to be able to lie and keep secrets. He’s forced back into a place that holds many traumatic memories for him, and he’s not sure who he can trust.

The decisions you make change the dynamic between yourself and Douglas, either bringing you closer or permanently tearing you apart.

What’s next :

-Wrapping up the morgue section, only a couple of sentences left :3c -Heading into the first night investigation section

Thanks for reading!!
