After two years of working secretly on this little hobby project of mine, I present to you: “Wright Files: Egerton's Pickle” – a tiny, super-short mystery adventure game – a love letter to Commodore 64 game “The Detective”. Still work-in-progress but recently it has reached a state where it's somewhat showable.

The game is being created in Unity and the visual style is a consequence of two factors: my deep affection for mixing low-poly 3D with pixel-art and the fact that I'm mostly a programmer, not a graphic artist. Gameplay-wise the game will be rather similar to “The Detective” – the player walks around the mansion and gathers clues and evidences by talking to characters, interacting with objects and collecting items. The time will flow in real-time(-ish) and there will also be a hard time limit (just like in C64 original). Control scheme is rather simple (movementactioncancel) and will support both keyboard and gamepad.

The work is going rather slowly (but steady!), so there's no publish date set for now but you can expect somewhat regular updates regarding state of the project, even if not too often.

Round anniversaries are always a good time for retrospection so here's an update describing what's been going on with “Wright Files: Egerton’s Pickle” since I've publicly revealed it last year.

CSI: Character Scale Investigation – The “Wright Files” Chronicles

A deep dive into the artistic and technical challenges of marrying low-poly 3D environments with 2D sprites while maintaining the charm of classic retro-gaming visuals.

Heya there! I really wanted to show you all a little gameplay preview of the first boss fight i'm currently working on i hope you like it ^^

Family band complete!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

a drawing I did because I was bored😪. But I love how it turned out.😊

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

not the greatest house, but it's a house! :D
