No. Please stay on topic. Send off-topic stuff in PMs.

I'm going to let it slide this time (given your history and the other material you've provided) but, for future reference, please wait to post until you have the necessary two screenshots.

They all look guilty as fuck to me.

You know, all these years being a horror fan, I never got to know who Jack The Ripper REALLY was.

Perhaps I ought to, when this game is made;)

Will be updating first post with more screenshots very soon Darth

Frodo · Wed 27/08/2014 12:45:37

Love those screenshots

Now I wanna catch the Ripper

Slasher · Thu 28/08/2014 09:51:01

Thank you Frodo,

backgrounds are currently being redrawn, so new, improved backgrounds will be shown soon.

NEW: Charles Davenport now has an extra available sense: 'Smell' to sniff out more clues to aid catching the brutal slasher

Keep watching...and beware of JACK

Over 16's only!

Slasher · Fri 05/09/2014 08:48:01

Updates:

New: 'go-to' location (background holding)

This game now comes in two modes: Normal play mode or 'Guess who JACK is' mode:
This is where you draw a grid and try to see if you can guess who the murderer (JACK) is
(this gives you, the player, the opportunity to get more involved as a 'whodunit?').

Progress: Much of the back-end scripting is done.
Overall progress: 8%

Still waiting on Background artists to confirm if jumping on board this crazy train.....

Yours
Jack The Ripper

Spot-on art style there! And like the innovative extra-detectiv-ish game design conceits like the suspect book, et. al.

I raise my absinthe to you, sir!

Looks good and I am going to play this but I just had to say people might get offended with you using the actual autopsy photos.
You think you should do pixel art versions instead?

edit: *autopsy => crime scene

Hi ChestPecRespect,

QuoteLooks good and I am going to play this but I just had to say people might get offended with you using the actual autopsy photos.

Why should they get offended and why should I not use actual photos? I could pixel art them, but why?

Are you offended?
