Methods: The Detective Competition News

I can't believe it's been a whole year since my last Methods Halloween post. Time seems to just fly by. I continue my work on Catalyst Wake, but don't think I've forgotten about Methods!

Here are three special illustrations. This time I decided to go in a different direction. Instead of wearing costumes, the characters have been transformed into various Halloween monsters. Enjoy!

(Content warning: Body Horror)



Detective Ashdown as Ashula



Detective Noose as the Candie Demon



Detective Mackle as a Metaphor for Modern Society

In other news, exciting things are coming for Methods in the future. I've decided to make porting the game a higher priority in 2022. I hope this will help bring the game to a wider audience!

I'm also working on the outlines for the next several extra chapters, which will also probably be released sometime in 2022.

Until next time,

— LockedOn.

Honor pronoun update for Chinese language version. Honor should now only be referred to using gender neutral pronouns.

Updated the bios menu so that the bio no longer covers the slider.

More typo fixes! Thanks to KigyoDev for pointing out the typos.

Chapter 27: "Hydrogen" misspelled as "hydrogren"
Chapter 38: "Hannibal Lecter" misspelled as "Lector"
Chapter 44: "Helicopter" misspelled as "helicoptor"
Chapter 69: Casefile for A Dance in Chains mentioned one banana in description, but two bananas in the bonus question
Chapter 100: "Effect" instead of "affect"
First and second round ranks misspelled Everreave's name as Evereave.
"Confidant" instead of "confident" in Honor's interview

Bug fixes:
If you opened the casefile and then switched chapters, the casefile would remain open.

Typo fixes! (Slight spoilers here) Thanks to KigyoDev for spotting the mistakes.
Chapter 17: "Threw" changed to "through"
Chapter 24: "Mytsery" and "preform" changed to "mystery" and "perform"
Chapter 27: "Hydrogen flouride" changed to "hydrogen fluoride"
Chapter 37: Ashdown incorrectly refers to the Game-master as plural (this was left over from an earlier draft where the detectives in Fourth Class had already figured out there were multiple Game-masters)

Rank menu fix
