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.

How about you also have to pay the maid to take care of the suitcase or risk getting robbed of an item or another. And then, you'd have to become faction chief or at least have a decent standing with a faction to get the item back; similar to the help you get with suspects when you're the teacher's pet. Just to get more action to the factions too.

I have toyed with the idea of allowing you to book a room in a hotel (popping a hotel in every city of course). So you send your (3 piece) suitcase ahead of you to the hotel, then you turn up there yourself. Everyday you're booked in you have to pay a fee, but whilst there you have access to your suit case.

I think there's a bit of a debate about whether or not it's right that one should have access to different outfits in every city though.

Maybe not totally different outfits. What about just allowing accessoies to be put in it? You would have to use the same coat, shoes, and hat. Maybe that would limit the advantage enough? Or only be able to change coat, shoes, and hat. Maybe coat, hat, and one accessory would be more realistic than only being able to change coat, shoes, and hat, since shoes are fairly limited.

So either you can only change accessories, or you can only change coat, hat, and one accessory. Although I think the latter would be closer to being able to change outfits. I think only being able to change accessories would be more fair.

If you were able to change accessories that would enable you to put down your travel kit and pick up a more valuable item. If there are people who don't have a travel kit that would be unfair to them. A coat and hat are reasonable as they are weather related, you'd wear a different coat in London than you would in Delhi.

I'd love a bar chat that works as well, Ms Helen. I actually wrote a new chat program that doesn't use Flash (something we're trying to ditch like the plague) last year. Exciting new features include whispers not disappearing when you type, and the ability to write lengthy whispers:

Unfortunately it'll probably take a few hours to set it up on the server, something that is entirely Ben's domain. All I can say is that it is on the agenda.
