I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks

Agency Directors can write a description on their agency information page. Perhaps directors should be encouraged to include information about how competitive the agency is, and what kind of agents they are looking for? Or should I provide something a little more structured?

the game is very fun.
i only have one question/suggestion, on some cases the evidence will show footprints and hair, i have the skills to determine if the footprint is from a heavy/slim person and if the hair is straight or curly but the game will only give me one or the other not both clues.
if i got all the info from all my skills that would be great.

This is a matter of luck and the smarts gear you are wearing. Imagine in real life, you might have the skills but not be lucky enough or have the right equipment to find all the evidence, either...

Back to that talk on the subscription,
although for some people it may be a bargain to pay $4, how about those in countries without dollars? Do they have to convert or something like that?

It depends on the exchange rate between ur country and USA. You can't really know the exact amount as exchange rate change everyday. But it shouldn't be too far off. I paid $13+ my country money for US$8.

Paypal allows for purchases from lots of different countries. In many cases the service charge for the conversion doesn't amount to much. In some cases it is more expensive.

Another option is to pay by mail, but then you need to make the payment in US$ also.

i think it's really fun. the only thing that makes me sad, is that i can't have my original name. my original was Tara Chise, but i didn't realize you could only have 3 false accusations and i lost it(newbie mistake). do you think maybe you could make it so when people get three accuses, they can make a new detective, but still have the same name? And maybe those who've had to change their name becasue of it could change it back (like me)?
also, i think it'd be interesting if when someone made a detective, they could choose their own beginning skills (unless they chose ones making the game too easy). like give them a certain number of skill points to start with, and let them choose. i dunno, just an idea.
and, perhaps we could add some mroe people??? the last few cases i've solved ahd had people with the same last name. maybe we could go through the phone book and pick random last names, and maybe some more first names. if icome up with any more ideas, i'll let you know.

P.S. i like the idea of having more games a day, but only make it like five or so. and i love with you've done with the layout of things...maybe we could make the map a little different! like, make the buildings 3d or something, and i like the ideas of the other people on here.

Tara - on the suggestion of letting you decide beginning skills - that already is an option - 'easier' lets you get a set of stock skills and 'harder gives you 20 skill points that you can 'spend' however you want to build a 'custom' detective.

tara- only prob with 3d is those with dial up and slower modem speeds would not be able to play. Plus it would take a whole new program.

Hello -

1) Well, I did get addicted to this on my first hit...

2) Tara Chise's idea on an option to start from scratch with the same name sounds good.

3) The levels I've done so far seem just about right in terms of difficulty... then again, I haven't been here long.
