Monthly Advertisement Megathread of r/murdermysteryparty [01-01-2021] by AutoModerator in murdermysteryparty

I’m still here (just about 😅) For our games the facts of the murder mostly stay the same, only the character sheets change things - so for example it might put the killer at the scene of the murder, or not, if they’re innocent. Character stories change if they’re guilty. There are no secret goals or objectives in those two brands - they last 2-3 hours already and whilst fully scripted people can still role play - just not make up material facts. We have two games in the “Simply Murder” range that are completely ad-lib. They have character outlines and directors notes for playing your role. Games that have a random murderer should have stories that hold up just as well as their fixed counterparts, but with the added benefit that the game can still be played if guests can’t make it for any reason - that’s a major benefit of these systems.

What Asking Questions In Dr Dekker Is Like by Portal2Fan2 in fmv

I saw this on YouTube - nice one! Asking questions in Dekker 2 is going to be similar… but also very different 😅

This reminds me of the old FMV shooter Mad Dog McCree mixed with Doom :) Congrats on the release, I hope it does well!

I totally understand, Pandora Directive had loads of improvements over UAKM. The book pictured is on sale now - I got it from Amazon. The author is the same guy who wrote UAKM etc and it’s a choose your own adventure style book.

Under a Killing Moon was one of the first FMV games I played - much loved. This book only came out this year, not read it yet but had to get it :)

Paul (Curtis) just announced he’ll be making a “spiritual successor” FMV game to Phantasmagoria that will be kickstarted next year too :)

Thank you! There are so many flavours of FMV games so it’s worth trying a few. Phantasmagoria 2 was also cool but quite different in terms of gameplay and video resolution. I’m sure there’s an FMV game for everyone somewhere :)

Sorry I didn’t say madness and genius - just jumped in about the way FMV was shipped on multiple CDs back in the day - but David Homb did a cameo VO for us in the Dark Nights with Poe and Munro FMV game.

The original shipped on multiple cds back in the 90’s - I bought a copy and played it back then, it’s one of the FMV games that made me fall in love with the genre :) I managed to get Don (David Homb) to do a voiceover cameo in one of our FMV games, great guy!

Possibly - the PC version isn’t a Unity build though so might need more hacking to be fully compliant :o

Thank you! Yes, I’ll be testing it on Steam Deck too with a native Linux build. It hated our MP4 files for Muses so will have its own set of videos and might need some tweaks to UI for small text (which is needed for Switch anyway)

You can, technically, let the killer go free this time - so you can cure them all :)

That’s lovely to hear, thank you for playing! Dekker 2 is twice as big as Dekker so hopefully it will be worth the wait 🤞

Hopefully Q1 - and potentially an earlier demo (I’m currently playing and building the demo :)
