But basically, I think the kind of thing you’re onto, here, is quite good, provided the system can be fleshed out with a few more gameplay ideas (such as that tracking system, an awards screen, the ability for more than one suspect to be guilty or for two simultaneous crimes, etc).

One minor thing that would increase playability of the game as it stands: List the important info about the crime (time of death, weapon positions) on the main gameplay screen, rather than forcing the player to remember it from the intro screen. Actually the weapon could show up on the map itself at 8:00pm and 2:00am.

Also key repeat doesn’t work; it would make scrolling through timelines a lot easier.

Thanks for the nice comments! I tried to do my best to make the murderer lie well, but using only knowledge he could legitimately have. In retrospect, I can think of a few improvements to the murderer’s lying strategy that should help a little, but it’s a tricky problem! (And no, the game will not actually let the murderer pick up and use the murder weapon in a single move. Maybe I should keep the murder from occurring in the study, in order to stop that confusion.)

A do agree about the pacing; I really want to make a version of this where the player moves around the mansion, actually questioning the witnesses. I’d like to have motives built in, have every character be hiding something, have the player pick up clues, etc.. but virtually all of the development time in this week went into just building the murder timeline; there wasn’t time for any interface niceties.

So I’ll definitely be returning to this concept sometime soon (although I’ll probably do something more traditional for the next Game in a Week.. I feel silly spending all this time integrating Box2D, and still not having ever used it for anything real!)

Anyways, this is really fun. I beat Professor Layton and the Curious Village a few weeks ago and it really gave me a craving for games of this sort. I played through this a few times, and it seems like the murderer isn’t very good at lying. It was pretty easy to tell which person was the murderer, and once you knew that it was just a matter of scrolling around the data you have to find the times. It took me just a couple minutes per game to figure out everything, except in one case where it seemed ambiguous as to when things happened. Looking through all the evidence, there were multiple times the murderer could have picked up the weapon, so I found that I just had to guess. The situation was that the murderer was in the room with the weapon right before the murder for two time-steps, so I didn’t know if he picked it up right when he got there, or as he was leaving. Also when the weapon was normally stored in the place where the murder took place I wasn’t exactly sure whether the game would allow the murderer to pick up the weapon AND kill the victim at the same time in the same place, so I figured he had picked it up earlier, found out when that was, and was right. I may have just gotten lucky though.

It’s really fun for a prototype. I’m not sure how much effort you want to put into this, but I think slowing the pace down a lot would make it more enjoyable and atmospheric. Half the fun of these games is walking around the mansion talking to people, instead of just immediately knowing everything that everyone has to say. That would be way too much polish to pull of in a week, though =P I’m really impressed that you got all this done in just a week! Great job.
