My entry for the bakesale. A cheese scone, something for the more discerning consumer who finds ThreeOhFour too sweet.

Murder On The Lady Titania

Have you ever wanted to solve a murder on a 1920s cruise ship in the mid-atlantic? Well now's your chance.

Features include:

- A game made in less time than it really should be made in
- a parser system
- a nice fadey, swishey interface courtesy of Leafshade Technologies
- some blood probably
- possibly some extras if i get time.
- graphics worse than every other bakesale game

Nice setup and classical looks, and I love parser games- this should be interesting!

Now I'm curious- tell us more!

Don't underestimate the graphics in here, it actually looks very good!
Nothing like a closed down arena, to make a murder investigation game really appealing to me, I'm looking forward to it.

Oh hell yes! I love big ships and 1920 reminds me of all the cool Call of Cthulhu scenarios I've played / hosted.
Make this happen!

Havent you ever played any of my games? :p They *always* have swishey fadey interfaces.

My motto:

"If it can fade or swish then it should fade or swish"

I *have* seen it in action. I just thought it would maybe be a different, exciting new kind of swishy never seen before.

And maybe it will be! It takes place on a ship, after all.

Swishing? fading? I demand an animated gif!

ThreeOhFour · Sat 22/10/2011 17:50:30

Ok, well, cheese scones are delicious, and so are swishy fadey interfaces. Hooray ^__^

HOW DID YOU KNOW?!

I mean... yeah, sure, that sounds OK I guess.

You guys are really going overboard (pun!) with this bake sale. It would take a lot less to get me to give you money.

Cool, a whodunnit.

Ponch · Sat 22/10/2011 20:30:02

A whodunnit with Cthulhu, I hope!

Matt Frith · Sun 23/10/2011 00:29:22

I've not heard of this "Calinleafshade" before, but I am assured he makes rad games. Also, I like the backgrounds, just add more rivets! RIVETS! ._.

qptain Nemo · Sun 23/10/2011 00:50:17

I await this with interest. Looks very cozy.

kconan · Sun 23/10/2011 12:23:36

This looks like fun, anything that even somewhat reminds me of Murder on the Zinderneuf is a really good thing.

Ilyich · Sun 23/10/2011 14:56:05

Ooh, this one looks cool! Awesome crisp minimalistic style, text parser, 1920s and a general Lovecraftian vibe - colour me excited!

Calin Leafshade · Sun 23/10/2011 15:07:08

Stop tempting me to make it Lovecraftian!

This shit is complex enough as it is!

I am the great Dagon and I ngrlg'ngh t'krghu of this comment.

This game looks pretty cool. I like it.

Baron · Mon 24/10/2011 04:12:32

Nice -I love text parsers. But do make it throw back your inputs with attitude. None of this "I don't understand ______" generic crap. You gotta bring this monster to LIFE. "I regurgitated your __________ after breakfast, and I don't want anything to do with it anymore." Take that, player!

I second this idea.

(Also, more Lovecraft!)
