[The San Francisco treat?]

You should come some Rice-a-Roni to complement your experience!

I am going to keep working on it, as DP is definitely my next full-time project. I would like to work on it now, but I have to finish AdvII XE first (almost there!).

 

I wonder if anybody has any opinion as to a particular Holmes story that they'd like to see in Detective Powers? If so, share your opinion. My opinion on that changes over time. I'd like to do The Adventure of the Dancing Men, the Musgrave Ritual, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Final Problem. . What if each 'episode', or case, once completed , gave a unique clue pointing towards Moriarty's existence/involvement, and after getting all the clues, you could learn how to activate the final case - "The Final Problem". Or maybe it would be cooler to have The Final Problem as the final case, but after beating that pop up a bonus case ... The Adventure of the Empty House. Where Holmes returns 2 or 3 years later....

 

It will start with 1 case, I'll try to use that to build and tweak the game engine and graphics. Once it seems fun and playable, I will then add the extra cases, which should not take as much effort as the first.

[I found and old letter that I wrote to Imagic when I was 12]

I'm going thru these blogs late .. cool letter from 12-year-old PMP. I also sent a letter w/game design, but to Atari. I remember the game was basically a Pitfall ripoff called Poacher. You would pull vines, causing squirrels to sometimes come running out of their treetop nests. Or you'd kick brush piles, and rabbits would come out. Then you'd try to shoot them. I was a young hunter at 12 years old, you see... got the Thanks-but-no-thanks letter too!
