Dev Diary #5
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line. Greyhounds biting and whining in time. The gun goes off, the gates open up. Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
And just like the absolute banger by Cake, Finch and Archie are going the distance... to figure out the latest mystery. Will they be able to dig out the culprit, or will they find themselves running out of track to run on.
Hey folks! We have exciting news! We have been selected to go to PAX in Melbourne for the Aus Indie Showcase AND we nearly have another episode for you to play AND we have begun localisation into Simplified Chinese!
So if anyone is in town for PAX, come find us, say hey, buy some merch, and get a sneak peak at what’s coming next.
We have some cool pins to buy, and we have a great little game that will get you in the detective mood. It will send you round PAX to find our other friends from Perth and give you a real life lead to follow, with a chance to win some merch.
We have the full team coming down, so meet the infamous writer who came up with that intro scene, and give her a piece of your mind.
Now for the juicy stuff; Episode Two: “Last but not Leashed”
Our titular characters find themselves hot on the trail after finding the newest lead looking for the villainous Jackal. What has he been scheming, and what can our heroes do to stop it, all while solving a most heinous murder.
Last but not Leashed is set in a dingy, run-down greyhound track, with sweaty bookies, nervous trainers, has-beens, and rodents scurrying around, someone is definitely hiding something up their sleeves, can you sort the fact from the fiction, and find justice for Missy?
And for our friends and fellow detectives in China, we have begun our localisation into Simplified Chinese! We plan on having the tutorial and episode one “A Shot in the Bark” ready for 1.0 release with the next episodes being translated and released in future updates.
