Nanochange [Whodunit, Soft SF] [Nano2019]

#1 Post by Skarn »

About

Classic mystery. Someone got killed, and you must discover who, out of three suspects, has done it.

Except it's the future. But not that future where crimes are solved before they're even committed.

Instead, technological advancement has obsoleted most physical proofs, from photos to fingerprints, leaving little more than testimonials and deductions to solve cases.

In other words, Sherlock is sad, Poirot is happy.

So put on your metaphorical Fedora hat, and let's go interrogate some poor souls until the truth somehow emerges from a mess of lies.

Characters

The Inspector

Image
Asks a lot of questions. Does not answer any. You'll never know where those horns come from. Certainly not from an experimental pirate program commanding a swarm of nanomachines to stimulate keratine production in a very specific way in order to grow dense horns in addition of normal hair.

The Employee

Image

First suspect. Her coffee kills. Literally.

The Regular

Image

Second suspect. That fishy guy who seems to consider a café is the perfect place to conduct a business of disputable legality.

The Customer

Image

Third suspect. She shared the victim's last meal, though not his last drink.

Team

Art: gabicho
Writing: Myself
Everything else: Myself (sadly)

Progress:

2019/03/01 -> 2019/03/24: Chaos.
2019/03/25: Fashionably late. Sprites are done, as is most of the writing, but they're still a lot of editing to come, the GUI is barebone, and the music missing. Meeting the deadline should still be possible, but expect a new version a week or two later to polish some extremely rough edges.

PS: You cannot date any of the suspects. That would be extremely unprofessional.

This sounds like a fun setting! I love the character design for the inspector. Good luck!
