CompromiseDev

Ghost essence is among the valuable #resources in Windermere. Only a fool would smuggle wisps into the Day, risking the wrath of the Undead and the judgment of the Compromise. Yet with fortunes to be made, fools are never in short supply. 🫠

From outside of frame, the Captain appears to the rescue! 😅

The Compromise keeps this #pony centaur safe from werewolf’s fangs, but nothing can protect him from the teasing of the taller mares.

Thanks! 🥰
Had to recharge my ideas by skipping few dailies for this one 😅

Description: "After the Compromise, the Witch #effigy burning by the Holy Knights is conducted within a powerful anti-magic barrier, annulling any actual effects of the tradition to avoid provoking the Witch of Windermere."

Absolutely loved the ghost finding game 🥰

Thanks a lot! 🥰

After trying all sorts, pixel art is the one where I feel most comfortable. I don't think I have the hand-eye coordination to make good line art etc., but I certainly have the patience to fiddle with individual pixels 😅

Still load of room to improve, hopefully about 5 years worth 🫠

Excerpt from a testimony made by the owner of Fluffles, Mrs. Hargrove: "Well, that would be exactly the sort of thing this Gnome would do!"

Oh, hi there to you too 🥰

Thanks! 🥰

Very possible! Never trust a Garden Gnome!

Though, you probably shouldn't trust a cat either... 😅

Wigglesprout with his #shovel, noticing Fluffles eating the tulips in the case "Tulip Tangle".

This image might not be canon. In your playthrough, Fluffles could be completely innocent 😅

Thanks! 🥰
Checked out your stuff as well, and absolutely loved it!
Excellent pixel work 😊

Ei jumalauta, Suomalaisia miun fiidillä!? 😅

Hyvältä näyttää!

Wishlisted & Demo Downloaded 🥰
Will come back to you with feedback once I have the time 🫠

The game currently has 18 Cases, 29 Characters.

I was sure that I could now mostly concentrate on deepening the stories of the existing characters, instead of endlessly drawing sprites for new ones.🙌

Yeah, right...

Say hello to the new character in progress! 😅

Come to think of it, it sure is 🫠
Its been on my mind for so long that to me it felt completely ordinary 😅

Update 0.42.0
compromisedev.itch.io/adjudicator-...

Added a tiny optional tutorial😅

Was surprisingly tricky to implement…
The system wasn’t built for cases with no time progression, only one party, UI highlighting, or disabling of buttons 🫠

Hope nothing broke 💀

Thanks! 🥰

I just needed an excuse to draw more about the Rat King and their court😅

Ignoring the loose sketches of the Rat King done for my previous game, this tiny in-game portrait sprite was the only depiction🙃

"A #cheese thief hangs its #tail in shame while awaiting the Rat King’s ruling."

Thanks 🥰
I've really been having fun tying these dailies to the world of my game 😅

Thanks 🥰
I have seen any either, but it's a second time I've drawn one 😅
Though, the one I drew for the in game evidence sprite is just a dark blob as an homage to the most stereotypical mothman image 🫠

For most creatures of the Night, meeting a human, no matter how small, is a terrifying prospect. 😅

Mothman at seeing Rosie

Witness: A #flabbergasted Mothman.
Claims to have helped a human board the Midnight Bus, but can’t recall why he wasn't alarmed at seeing a human in the Night.
Possible causes: Magical memory distortion or alcohol."

I'm glad it seems that way! 🥰
I've had to abandon quite a few projects due to scope creep so I finally made a game that requires very little work to add content 😅
Also, most of the dialogue was written a while ago. The updates might slow down quite a bit as I'll have to start writing again 🫠

Quickly added some explicit buttons to appear if you close every UI.

Otherwise, if you don't notice that you can click on the book & casefile on the table you'd get completely stuck 😅

#UIDesign #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Muted the audio to not spread bodily harm to others.

BlueSky is probably applying some peak normalization to the audio volume.
No matter how I edit the video, the sound gets so loud that it genuinely hurts my ears 💀

Thanks, bsky.

If anyone has a clue how to combat the normalization please help! 😅

Update 0.41.0: Ashen Accusations
compromisedev.itch.io/adjudicator-of-compromise

-The first case of Rodrick's story arc is now live.🙌
-Some bug fixes with the UI
-The Casefile now has a slight animation to help the player find it on the table.😅

I mean the Rat does have a crown on its head. Even if it's made out of cardboard it must count for something! 😅

Next case:🔥Ashen Accusations🔥
A warehouse burned, a Rat accused, and the Firewarden seeks the truth in the ashes.
Arson, accident, or something worse?

On a side note, the mood sprites for Emberghast were a nightmare to draw... they still need cleanup 🫠

Description: "The imp was found #nesting in a cauldron inside the abandoned human dwelling. The case was dropped as she eventually produced a crumpled permit from among her bedding."

Yes! Um... Help me with this issue. Wait, no, don't just buzz around me, sting them!
Wait, don't just fly off! 🫠
