Creature Crimes

I've just started work on my first game, detective/logic themed, named Creature Crimes (at least for now; an alternative name is Creature Clues). Either way, I've made an early prototype of the game in Godot, and here's what it looks like: Basically, each level will be about solving a crime, and the goal is to figure out where each animal was at the moment of the crime, and who is the criminal is. On the right you have a shelf with possible suspects. You can drag them onto the board, which is in the middle. Each square on the board will represent a place (e.g. park, police station, shopping centre...). Finally, on the left you have some clues. Clues help you figure out where each character was. For example, you can look at the first and third clues to easily find out where the stick insect, sheep, duck, water boatman and owl are. Then, you can figure out that the second clue is at the top (it can't be at the bottom because you can't have two animals in the same place). Finally, you must choose who is the criminal: this is what the red exclamation mark represents. Anyway, that's the basic idea. This is a relatively easy level, but as things continue there will be less specific clues, such as the animals' habitat (forest, country or lake), animal types (bird, mammal or insect). You'll notice I deliberately chose 3 animals with each habitat and type. My next goal is to make a level maker for Creature Crimes. It shouldn't take too long; I think a week or two at most, because I can reuse some of the code used here. Thanks very much for taking the time of reading this! I hope you like the idea and I'm looking forward to any feedback, positive criticism, suggestions and questions! That's all, I hope to see you soon! ~ qucchia
