There are two common requests that we can tackle simultaneously. The first is that people want to submit their own picture to use as their detective's avatar. The second is that there are not enough different suspect pictures.

So, if you would like to submit your own picture, I can set that as your avatar. In exchange, I would like to add those pictures to the pool of possible suspect pics. I'll set it up so that nobody else will be able to use your picture for their detective, but your face will make appearances in the various cases in the game.

I don't want to automate the process because then people will upload all kinds of junk that would detract from the game.

So, if you are interested, send in a photo of yourself to
ben@hypotheticalsoftware.com
I'll take care of the cropping, resizing and desaturating. By sending in photos, you are granting permission for use in this game.

I'm very surprised more people haven't used this opportunity. I actually did, but I have yet to see myself in the game. I think it will be weird when I finally do. Questioning myself, arresting myself. Not something I'm looking forward to. I'm the only good detective left in me agency (good as in not getting into trouble, not good as in talented). I've arrested EVERYONE in my agency at least once. :)

I actually click so fast through the game I barely even see the pictures of the suspects. :-)

Yeah, I've also noticed that the pictures of those of us who submitted them later haven't been put in the suspect pool. I think it'll be interesting when they do.
