So, the third variation of the Porcelain Paradox is almost done, and in the meantime variation A and B has been polished up, and the game in general has too.
Reworked the word mini game.
Gave the word portion of the game its own "drawer".
Installed different soundtrack.
Fixed a bucketload of typos.
Optimized framerate for slower PCs.
We are also working on some suggestion tools to better expand the game and the story as a whole.
We will hopefully open up the first episode to the public next monday, and then start working on episode 2 from there.
The Porcelain Paradox - Variation B ready for testing
The second variation of episode 1 : The Porcelain Paradox, is now ready for testing. This means you can play through the whole thing, and catch the killer.
Suspect responses, method of murder and the timeline of the murder have been altered, so its recommended to pay close attention to the changes, so you don't blindly re-arrast the wrong person.
Work on Variation 3 is half-way done, and will be done a day before game launch.
After that, the brainstorming for Episode 2 will begin, which will be out in June.
Thanks to everyone for following this project so far, and hope you enjoy the new episode. If you spot some line you feel is missing, dont hesitate to activate the Suggestion system by hitting F2. This enables you to send suggestions to dialogue options directly to us, and we will figure out a way to implement them as fast as we can.

Getting ready for Steam
So, this project has gained some tracktion since the Nordic Game Jam ended, so I decided to make the game available on Steam.
