added a small scribble sound when writing in the notepad in Case Closed! Feels so satisfying now 🔊

I wish I was good at using Unity’s animation system

[Otso @OtsoDev]

just added a new system to Case Closed to handle game boundaries more effectively

if you’ve got any thoughts or ideas, let me know. i’m always open to feedback, just trying to make Case Closed the best version of itself

also testing new systems where you can collect physical evidence like fingerprints, and npcs might even give you items if you talk to them right. got a stable version of this working in another test project so planning to bring it into Case Closed soon

[Otso @OtsoDev]

still got a bunch of bugs to squash and some key stuff to add before Case Closed is ready for beta

but in the meantime, here’s a look at some ui tweaks i’ve been working on

let me know what you think

the accusation system got a full rework. Instead of just picking someone from a list, you actually show your evidence to a police chief and try to convince them. makes the whole thing way more intense and fun

probably 50% of dev time lately has been on performance. trying to make sure Case Closed runs well even on lower end pcs. might add a setting for how deep the ai sim goes, so people can tweak it if needed. game should be good on most setups either way

[Otso @OtsoDev]

Optimized the loading time a lot. Case Closed used to take a while to boot because of all the ai stuff behind the scenes. it’s much faster now

#ShowCaseSunday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #steamgame

[Otso @OtsoDev]

thinking of limiting how far they can go, just to keep the gameplay focused. or maybe add vehicles so it’s faster to find them. not sure yet. what do you think?

[Otso @OtsoDev]

NPCs now have their own routines, hobbies, and favorite spots. They're not just wandering aimlessly, they're living their lives. #ShowCaseSunday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #steamgame

[Otso @OtsoDev]

It’s been a while since the last update, but I’ve been working hard on Case Closed and wanted to share some of the latest tweaks and improvements I’ve added.

[Otso @OtsoDev]

@Iam_best_dev Thats the best way to learn!

[Otso @OtsoDev]

@inojosaDev Is it though?

[Otso @OtsoDev]

@cowboyaugust Dm me

[Otso @OtsoDev]

@MeurigPlays Encourage him to dive in and start creating, even if the initial idea is vague. Many developers begin with ambitious projects, learn through tutorials, and face numerous setbacks.

[Otso @OtsoDev]

@0xLiamCodes Why go with a physical notebook instead of phone or laptop, I feel like I’d just slow myself down writing by hand?

[Otso @OtsoDev]

@kawailemma Sure

[Otso @OtsoDev]

Continuing development
