I've put up a new screenshot and a gameply video on the Shades of Mystery page.

We've been doing quite a bit of work on the searchable locations (crime scenes and suspects homes) and I thought you'd like a look at what we've got going. Also, I think the video gives you a better idea of actual gameplay than anything I've posted up to this point.

The Shades of Mystery page can be accessed from City Hall.

Some notes about the video:

1) The actual game does not take nearly as long to load as that video. I'd actually recommend letting the whole video load before watching it, otherwise it will look choppy unless you have a very fast connection.

2) This video has been compressed and shrunken a bit to conserver filesize. The game is about 20% bigger than the video (the screenshots are actual size).

3) Right now, we only have furniture sets in for bedrooms. That's why there is a bed in the sitting room rather than something more appropriate.

Enjoy.

Ben there have been questions about the use of sound in the game, wil it be essential to game play or incidental? I know some players of Noir have hearing difficulties and for them, much like SS and his colour blindness, a hint as to whether the game will eba ccessible to them or not would be good. Thanks and sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere.

Stooby, thanks for your concern about the hearing issues of some of the players, I had asked Ben and had gotten a reply as to the sound, only thing I'd be missing out on is music.

Unless that has changed, I'd appreciate knowing about it.


PS: Biggie, I've seen you mention something about ponies in just about every board that requires feedback or letting Admin know what we want. Are you obsessed with ponies?

An idea on Stooby's pointer issue. You could just put a link that will change your SoM to either. Some may want it in the beginning until they learn the game but as they get more advanced they may not want it. So by putting a link to change how your game is played can allow it to become more challenging for them. And if they decided they like the hand change they can click on the link again. It would be the best of both worlds so to speak.

Looks really promising. I love these style of detective games. One thing was bothering me when I was watching the video, however. Is there a reason that when you find something, you would not want to take it? I noticed you have the option to leave it there and now I am intrigued as to why. Looks very polished already.
