Release XIV // Chapters 33, 34 & 35

Methods: The Detective Competition
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Release XIV is here!

Release XIV includes three chapters, one CG, one music track and five interviews!

Well, I've simply run out of characters to interview (for now). That frees me up to work on an all-new special feature that I've had in mind since the first Release...

Each Release comes with its own unique challenge that makes things interesting (but also difficult). Last week the challenge was creating eight new character sprites. This week it was the two large backgrounds for Chapter 34 — a chapter I've looked forward to/dreaded implementing for a long time because of the complexity of the location (it's NOTHING compared to a certain upcoming chapter, but yeah).

In hindsight, I regret not modeling those windows on the front of the cathedral and using flat images on planes — it looks pretty cheap. Maybe I'll fix that in a future update.

As for the major spoiler this Release, I won't say too much other than the detective competition is getting a little more serious. Hehehehe.

Until next time!
