Gutting this project, switching engines


I don't want to detail specifics of WHY I'm doing this bc I don't know the GameJolt audience well enough to gague a response to that. But basically, I just realized I was never going to be happy with LMS if I forced myself to continue in Ren'Py.

So after a LONG internal debate I've made the decision to switch gears and do something different. The overall story concept is the same, but I honestly like the idea of a topdown-... "RPG" feels wrong. Adventure? idk. ANYWAY, I like that better than the Point n' Click thing, so I'm doing that. And it's being done in Godot now. Yayyy.

Plus the pixel sprites are cute, so that's a fun bonus :]

Tiny victory of the day: First stage of inventory system is functional!

I lied, I got mad at my code so I'm sketching some sprites now--

been a minute since I worked on LMS; I forgot about placeholder Avery's lil side-eye lol

girl's so sus of EVERYONE I love her <3

Two little arrows gave me SO MUCH trouble it's insane 😭

But hey, I've added 1 new room, 1 new suspect, and 1 new UI feature. A nice balance :]

Evidence Log UI is coming together ^^

Just gotta add a way to expand the testimonies to read them while in the menu

I also did some environment art but uhhhh I drew Elaine's computer way too small so I gotta make some adjustments before I can share that

This week's progress: fixed broken interaction system, added title screen, started on settings menu, added transitions for changing scenes :D Next goal: Either inventory or save system, we'll see which one infuriates me less lol

Avery finally got a much needed design update that I've been meaning to do for like ever-

They are now a falcon :]

Another house i made long time ago.

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
