P.I. - Post-Jam Update (3 Months Later!)


3 Months Later...


Now, I'm not saying this is the best update ever... but I did include NEARLY EVERY suggestion I received during the jam! Is the game really that cool at all? Maybe. Did I actually live up to the title of "Chartide Cases" and have multiple levels? Nope. Is there enough new stuff to release to justify all of my work? Probably!


NEW STUFF!

  • Highlighted dialogue and clues for better guidance and feedback!
  • SUPER SLEUTH MODE to nullify the above improvement and make the game miserable again! (Accessibility option for the insane)
  • Rich Text!
  • BRANCHING DIALOGUE CHOICES!
  • "RECALL THE FACTS" command (Never get lost!)
  • Smarter "RECALL" pop-up (Only shows what you actually know!)
  • Dynamic text speed!
  • A less annoying sound at the beginning! (Though I couldn't part with it entirely)
  • A more intuitive parser! (Less arguments!)
  • More arguments! (Between characters!)
  • 2 NEW SONGS!
  • Better controls! (Two button system to avoid accidentally skipping text; ESCAPE to purposely accidentally skip text)
  • A new font! (The other one ACTUALLY LIED about being monospace)
  • A completely rewritten first level! Including...
  • A new character?!??!?
  • New things to look at! (Or rather, read about)
  • Multiple endings! (There are basically 3, but kind of 5, but technically 7 though)
  • Probably lots of other stuff!
  • ...and last, but not least: TAB TO AUTOCOMPLETE!

STUFF I DIDN'T DO! :(

  • A second level! :(
  • Include the "INDICT" command due to no second level! :(
  • Make the game lengthy at all due to no second level! :(
  • Keep my promises and retain my trust amongst the community by making a really awesome second level! :(


That's it for now, I suppose. Personally, I am eager to work on some other projects I have on my mind. But, I made so many improvements to this game that I couldn't leave it unfinished. So, here is what I call the "realized" version of my first game jam game. I hope you enjoy!
