Our demo is dropping tomorrow, don't miss out!

Smack Talk | Global Game Jam Hurry! You have the save the princess! But watch out, everyone wants a word with you! Just don't lose your cool.

Ill be away this weekend starting Friday to attend the Global Game Jam. For those who don't know, it's an event where you make a game from scratch over a set amount of time. This one will be 48 hours long.

Here's the one we did last year. The theme was Make me Laugh

Ive been working on revising old and outdated models. As you can see with these arm chairs: the old ones were poorly textures and UVed. Not only that, but the cardboard was far too thick and the variety left something to be desired.

Old top, new bottom

Lol, we have quite a few cameos already! But this one I could get behind

It'll be less point and click and more 3D environments with tools to collect clues. We're also trying to make it so the player needs to interpret the evidence and make a case against who they think is guilty without a whole lot of guidance. I think we pulled more from Ace Attorney there.

Paper Mario was a massive influence for me! One of my top 5 franchises for sure. Im really glad it reads! It'll be more the aesthetics and less of the RPG, but Id love to make one like it someday. We're still working through the gameplay loop. Turns out detective games are really hard to do...

Oh you know it! Im a big Paper Mario fan and the train chapter from TTYD really influenced me.
Well, that and the Rawk Hawk of course.

The old version was a college project so polish to things like moving just weren't there due to time constraints. We plan on making a few varied animations for characters depending on who they are.

Our player movement has been updated since the last build. Along with a smoother animation and quicker turning, we also slowed the player down slightly. We were downright running before.

New on the left, old on the right.

Our main character D the Detective has gone through a few color palette changes over time. We realized that on darker monitors his original jacket almost seemed pitch-black, and his ascot clashed with the colors overall.

Something that wasn't well shown in our Hotel Noire trailer was what traveling between rooms looks like. We have rooms fold and unfold as the player moves between them so that only one room is loaded at a time.

We are currently going through a second iteration with this project to tighten up the aesthetic and gameplay, add more varied animation and to improve the quality overall.

I plan to be posting updates, so stick around if you wanna see more!

Hey Bluesky,
Hotel Noire is a detective game that we've been hard at work on for the past few years. Strange events have been happening to guests of the Cardstock Inn and it's your job to figure out whats going on.
