Hello all,

We just released a demo for our upcoming game, Dance Dance Detective! It's a 2D story-rich murder mystery where puzzle meets rhythm. It's a fresh take on the detective genre where the you get clues by instructing suspects to dance!

Game Features

• Play as an undercover detective solving a murder mystery
• Meet a wacky cast of ghastly characters
• Create dance choreographies by arranging dance moves to uncover secrets
• Collect and combine clues to get closer to the truth
• Includes a little rhythm minigame! Because you have to dance on beat!
• Handmade pixel art inspired by DS and GBA classics
• Designed by a certified ballroom dance teacher. Learn real ballroom dance moves!
• Enjoy the cruise! 

We made this Demo as a proof of concept in ~3 months. We’re still at a very early stage. Pre-pre-pre alpha you could say. There are a lot of missing content and features like dialogue history, save/load, and is currently available in English only. We hope you enjoy what we put together and please share your feedback to help us make this game better and know what to focus on next! 

Keep dancing!

Ah! I see! That might be it... (full screen images with focus mask, just when I thought it would save me time rather than placing it manually haha). Thank you for the fast reply! (For some reason I didn't get a notification).

Hello hello! Thank you for playing our demo again and thank you for writing these lovely comments! We're glad the new version of Ms. Meadows is better! Regarding pressing up to rollback, yes... I totally forgot to disable it xD Thanks for the reminder! For the text size, we need to find a solution. And the glow highlights, yes I agree with you. We should do it. Thank you again and we can't wait for you to experience the full version! And yes, we plan to have voice acting so stay tuned for that :)

Hello Fenkis! Hope you're doing well :) Thank you for the fantastic shader support! I have a (hopefylly) quick question... For some reason when I use this shader, the game becomes extremely slow and my computer gets super laggy. Checked the GPU and it looks like it was using... 99% of it! Which is... weird? I don't think it's supposed to do that? Am I doing anything wrong?  😅 My renpy scene is a label with a bunch of imagebuttons on the wall where players can click on to learn more. 

This is the code:

And this is a video showing how slow it gets. You can see when the last line of the dialogue ends, the window takes time to disappear, mouse movement is slow, and the outline takes a while to complete. 

Looking forward to the full game! 

Fantastic tool. We're using it in out game (Sips and Sonnets) and it's working like magic. Thank you for doing this! 

I just discovered this game as I was wondering where have you been. It makes me so happy to know you are still making games and not denying the world your unique gift. Can't wait to experience this very intriguing experience. Although I'm not much of a horror connoisseur, but since its made "by your hands" I will surly give it a try :)
