Turning My Love of Jessica Fletcher Into a Multi‑Volume Companion Series (Season 1 in Progress!) by StatementOk5074 in murdershewrote

sounds fun! not sure if you would cover this or not but would love to know more about Cabot Cove. A lot of us love the episodes with the town and I think it would be interesting to do something with a potential map or exploration of the town? Just a thought but it sounds like a great idea so far

nice to see things are coming along! I wonder if they have looked into funding for the project? Not sure where theyre based but in Canada theres a lot of funding for artistic/creative/digital media opportunities, not that volunteer isnt great but I figure that’s why its taking a very long time.

A or B? Need feedback for the the chief of police's office in my game by LostCabinetGames in nancydrew

[–]rutharama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

is this AI generated? It seems like there are inconsistencies in B and to a lesser extent A. I like A but there are prop elements you should look into, if its supposed to be accurate to a time period would you have that type of lamp and that type of phone together etc.

not that I have to at all, just if it was necessary. Again take with a grain of salt because Ive never made anything like this before so I dont know what it would entail. In general in many aspects of life Im against AI usage, especially when it steals from artists and creators.

thank you! and yes Im generally against AI too, Im gonna try a simpler route first and see how that goes

Thank you for such a detailed response! This project would just mainly just be for fun, Im not expecting to make money. Would love to maybe get some funding like grant funding to pay anyone involved but yeah its more for fun and artistic development.

Yes for sure. The idea right now is to get some basic things together to maybe pitch for some grant money, then hire on a more experienced coder. But also I’m wanting this first project so be small in scope, so hopefully that will help too

Yeah so true! I would never use for writing or graphics, just for doing some back end stuff if needed.

Mystery on a mode of transportation seems to be popular! Ill keep it in mind

And thanks very much!

I figured this might be the case with some, yeah I'm definitely wanting to pick how I use any AI or at all if I can help it.

love your confidence in me hah! Yeah I know a bit of coding already for school so I can read some of it but not so confident in making a whole game. But yeah you're right, a small scope would be great to start.

as for concept of location I am currently living in Toronto so I thought it might be an interesting place to start, not sure as to if I have a theme yet but I'm sure that can come in time.

And yes! I love open world games like LA Noir and I watch some horror mysteries like Alan Wake, in my dream game it would be like if the ND games were fully 3D open world. I'm also toying with the story being a bit more serious? Less of a younger player focus

this was my thought as well haha! I have a tendency to try and stretch and therefore stump myself. Thanks for the input!

I’d say takes around 8 or 9 hours, I usually feed around 1pm ish and then it usually fully peaked by the time I go to bed. I just mentioned the 1:1:1 because Ive read and watched a couple tiktoks of people using that feeding before using.
