Description
This concept was based on my experiences with the hobby of web sleuthing. There are no hints or prompts, just a search engine and your brain.
However, I would recommend typing in "News" to get started.

You will have to analyse news articles, evidence and using maps as well as making a few phone calls to build your case and the assailant to justice. It's no easy task but a different approach to playing and solving puzzles.






Where do I save?
Your pen-and-paper are your saving tool. The game world never changes so you can quit and start at your own pace. Keeping your own personal notes are needed to win the game.

This is currently a concept game with only one chapter. If reception is positive I will definitely be looking into adding more chapters in future!

Hi All,

I've been working on a text parser project and have run into an issue with the ROL command. In principal the text parser is working as intended, but not the way I want it.

Here is the current code:

GLOBAL Script

Code: ags

if (Parser.SaidUnknownWord()) 
  { 
    Display("Not recognized.", Parser.SaidUnknownWord()); 
  }
else 
 { 
   CallRoomScript(1); 
 }

ROOM Script

Code: ags

function on_call (int reason) {
if (Parser.Said("press rol")) {
    gParser.Visible = false; 
    cEgo.ChangeRoom(3);
  }
else 
{
    NoMatch(); //if none of above matched player's input, NoMatch() function is called.
}
  }

Currently it will only process "press" or "press rol" ONLY if the ROL part is a word in the text parser dictionary(press button etc).

If I swap the CallRoomScript and Display commands around it will work fine but ONLY if "press" has a word after it (E.G. "press rubber dingy rapids"). I have tried using an || operator for "press" and "press rol" but no luck. Same problem if I try to do it in a separate IF command.

I want the script set up so I can type "press (anything)" and it will run through the same command regardless of it being in the dictionary or not.

I am sure it's something simple I'm missing, but after spending several hours trying to debug this..I am struggling now.

Any thoughts appreciated!

(Imageshack has seemed to have compressed the shit out of the screenshots. The game does look better in reality, honest.  )
