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

Actually I was considering making all levels have varying numbers of suspects. It seems to me that being unsure of the exact number of suspects is appropriately mysterious.

As for favor levels, where do they change?

Hmmm. Being unsure of the exact number of suspects probably is appropriate - more true to life, and all. And I think it will make the solving potentially slightly harder, which is not a bad thing. But getting the suspect list fleshed out is my LEAST favorite part of playing. It feels like the busiest of busy work. So I am not sure putting more energy into this aspect of case solving is a good thing.

As for the favor levels, one thing I am aware of is that favors will say "difficult" which is not one of the levels on the case file opening page. This is at a lower level than getting "incredibly" favors, so it comes up with newer agents who aren't getting incredibly favors yet.

I think changing the number of suspects at the higher levels would make it not just 'slightly' harder, but significantly harder - at the higher levels, you don't have many spare questions to play with, and no bribery or contact options to help you when folks clam up.

On favors, I always thought difficult was synonomous with 'hard'.

should read before posting... you never have bribery or contact help on developing a suspect list at any level, but at higher levels, you don't have many questions to waste, so it is useful to know when you can safely quit. But it WOULD be more challenging to do it the way you suggest. (Only when I'm on a tear to get to my next favor for a hunt/race - I'm not sure that kind of 'challenge' is what I'm looking for)

Yes, sorry. "Difficult" and "Hard" are the same levels. An oversite on my part. It should be relatively easy to fix thoough.

Can I get a "How to deal with your Sleuth addiction" page?

(Some games actually have those!)

But jojo, do you really want to?

Nov-19-2004 15:12

Well, I need to actually "do homework" once in a while! :)

I don't really want one, but need one!

Okay, what level is an "Intermediate" favor, then?

Nov-19-2004 15:53

Intermediate maybe?
