Hi everyone !

Yesterday I tested the puzzles from all the scenes I have already done. And it works ! I have nothing to show unfortunately.

9th day devlog

Scenes

Outside/Library/Hall and Bedroom are done at 90%. I just need to have some details on other decors, it will add depth to the story.

Combining

You can combine your inventory items with doors, objects,people : changes are visible on the scene. Most of the point&click aspect are done ! That's a real relief. I'll probably have time to start the interogate part.

Next steps

I need 2 more scenes for the story, 1 for the interrogate part. My goal is to finish the story before Thursday, and try to do the interogate part before the submit.

See you tomorrow !

Host

congrats on finishing up the point and click mechanics! i'm kind of curious about this interrogation part--is there some kind of dialogue options to it or is it still pretty adventure-y? the lighting in the last picture looks really lovely.

Submitted

I would like (if I have time) doing some kind of dialogue situations. Like LA Noire. It's pretty ambitious, and I'm not certain to do it before the sunday :)

And thanks for the light, Hexels is a really cool tool !

Hi everyone !

Almost all the game is done without the interrogate part. I have 3 days to do it, it's going to be really challenging :)

10th day devlog

Scenes

2nd floor is done. I have a little room to do on the first floor, and it will be all done ! I just need to make an other scene for the interrogate part, if I have enough time.

Start screen

I've done a little start screen, I tried to not spend a lot of time on it (1 hour). I'm working 4 hours/day for this gamejam, and now time is running out :)


Next steps :

Tomorrow, I plan to finish the game without the interrogate part. I will do a "small" release : if I don't have to time to finish all I wanted to do, I will share, at least, a playable game with a full story :)

See you tomorrow !

Hi everyone !

We are almost at the end of the jam, and well, today I didn't finish what I wanted to do and I want to sleep :D. Tomorrow is going to be a long day !

11th day devlog

Last room !

The bathroom is done ! It's not significant for the game because you can access to it at the beginning of the game, so I'm sharing it with you :) Also, it's very simple because, well, I still have no time for polishing !

New decors and items

I add a lot of new interaction with the other scenes : most of them to start a story and understands the world, Fluffy history and hobbies, working relationship between Waffles and Patches and so on.

Next steps

The game is done at 95%, but I've to test the full game from start to the end of game. Pixel drawing is probably over for the gamejam. I guess I won't have time for interrogating the witness : it depends of how many bugs I found tomorrow :)

Thanks again for your feedbacks, and good luck to finish your games if you are part of the jam !

Hi everyone !

Very short devlog for today. I spent my time testing the game and trying to crash it.

12th day devlog

Puzzles are done. Almost all tests are done. I need to test again a couple of things, but everything works quite well ! :)

Next steps

I just need to do a short end for the game, just before the witness interogate scene. As I expected,unfortunately, there won't be any witness to discuss with : it would be crazy to start the interrogate part now and try to finish it in one day. Too much UI, pixel art and coding to do. Maybe later, if people like the game !

I will also add the talk action, but it will be accessible only for one character : Patches (the other cop).

See you tomorrow for a final devlog post !

Good news everyone :

Game was submitted ! Check here if you want to play. At the moment, there is only a windows version. I'll probably add a Mac version as soon as possible, I don't have a Mac so I didn't test if everything is alright.

A little summary about this experience : it was two crazy weeks. I worked 4 hours each day on it, but I was thinking about Inspector Waffles all of the time. I really wanted to do a classic point&click game, and a great little game, and I think I'm quite close of what I wanted to do at first.

The story was written in one hour, and I have no idea, after the witness part of Fluffy dead, what the next chapters should be about. If people really like it, I will continue this adventure. Most of the point&click aspect are done, I need to write the story and draw A LOT. And add animations, to make a game more beautiful.

If you want to see more of Inspector Waffles, help me to make it happens :)

Thanks everyone for your feedbacks during these 2 weeks ! If you are interested by Inspector Waffles future, check My twitter account !

See you next time !
