I've started work on the next update for Sleuth, and as promised it's going to be a content update. However, it's going to take a while before any of you see it, at least two months, potentially far longer than that.

Now I would hate to leave you all in the Sleuth wilderness, totally devoid of changes, so every one to two weeks I'll create an update from the suggestions you give here. An example of a small update (from the desk of Bela Talbot III) would be including your most recent fortune telling in the case file so long as you haven't discovered any new suspects since then.

Whilst this is going on I'll also fix up the small bugs lying around the game. For example, there's a certain accessory devouring fox that needs reining in, and possibly relocating. So don't worry about suggesting bug fixes here. Keep it to small things you'd like to see, or small annoyances you'd like changed.

I have a hard time being able to tell which PMs I have read and which ones I haven't. Is there a way to make the unread PMs stand out more?

Thank you Sleuth Sindy! This is a big problem for me too. I'm only able to do mobile at the moment and, while I have about the biggest screen you can get, I still am not sure which ones I've read and which ones I haven't sometimes.

And sleuth gods forbid you have one that is just a smiley and don't click on it to read it. You will go crazy trying to get the flashy "you've got mail!" to stop flashy-ing!

Really quickly;

1) an option to exit/cut short the cruise - perhaps one of those boats that the research-verified suspects always sneak off on? It could cost a few cases but I think the 20k we fork over for the ticket should cover this too. Would I pay extra for this? It's likely.

2) an option to look through all your rewards from VHs together or one set after the other. I realise not many people do this, but I let a few rewards build up at the Prince's before I go there with a nice, sturdy sack. Right now, I have to choose from the set offered for the latest villain captured, then from the second-last villain-capture reward-set and so on; I'd like to shuffle through those. I mean, I risked life and limb on that hunt! And all the others...

I'm forgetting something...

I want a luck bonus for when you have the guts to work on cases whilst wearing no gear at all.

Guaranteed bail money and free legal representation would be nice as well, BadAss. For when the townies inevitably call the cops on you for running around town nekkid. Or does that only happen to me?

Never had any trouble with the law. In Sleuth that is.

I am new to the game and I am not exactly sure if what I suggest is correct or not..I have completed 3 VH's now. Could a detective receive a new title for completing his/her first VH?

Hi Murray Arty, I love your name, I've noticed it before on the player list. :)

The first achievement for quantity of villain hunts kicks in after ten captures.

You might be able to unlock a new title for completing your first VH that takes a different route. If you have it, it'll show up under the title in list of titles; if you don't...well, that's no good.

How about a colored square around the townie boxes that correspond to the contacts we have in each city? I always have to check for them.

Also, when checking with suspects if they suspect x or y maybe have the name of the suspects in red if the've lied, white, green.
