The Inspector News

The Inspector is a finalist in the #PitchYaGame Awards 2021!

Just WOW.
The news arrived from nowhere. I suddenly received a Twitter notification on my smartphone and... BOOM! The Inspector was selected as Finalist for the #PitchYaGame!

With over 1500 participants in this session, I can say that being on the first fourteen, is mind-blowing!

But now, the time for celebration is over, and I need to come back on fixing the game!

See you soon!

The demo season is over!


[h2]Thanks to everyone who has stopped on my page!
[/h2]
During this long week, I received tons of feedback and some of you have made some precious video footage, giving me hints to understand where the major issues with the game are.

Overall this Steam Next Fest was amazing! I'm impressed by the result!

- 1062 new wishlist (steam)

- 360 unique users have played the demo

- over 500 joined during stream!


[h3]The main problems that the community has found are:[/h3]

- Pixel graphic. Someone loves it, others really hate it. (there is one guy that asked me if his graphic card is broken...). ACTION ---> pixel graphics should be an option.

- Performance. If the game doesn't run on smooth 60 fps on a potato, people generally tend to think your product is crap. ACTION ---> I need to optimize as much as I can the game!

- PMF. The last portion of the game, where you need to use the PMF, wants really clear. People struggled to understand how it work. ACTION ---> tutorial revamp

Starting from this moment, the Demo will return in a "hidden" state but, if you are interested in helping in testing, you can request access on Discord: http://discord.gg/RZEPW2x6jV

Wish you the best!

The PMF and the Inspector's Handbook


During the Steam Fest, I notice some people struggling with the use of the PMF.
I understand that the tutorial is not clear enough and I'm already working on that. For the moment, I have made a guide for you, to help in the use of this instrument.

Check HERE the guide!

I'd like also to remind you that exists also a little WIKI about the game (still in progress) where you can find more info behind the world of The Inspector!

Thanks, everyone for the time spent with my game!

How to summon a hat (without Harry Potter)

I didn't expect so much feedback in this Demo! This time I need to thanks the user doberhansley that found this fabulous bug, where you were able to summon a Hat anytime you pressed X on your controller!

Now is fixed!



ACCIO hat!

Better PMF signal manager and Handbook link

Another quick update, this time on the PMF.

The original FMS that was used to activate the markers on the map t was too simple and people misunderstanding how memory marking works.

Now here the new FSM.



Thanks some (really easy) math, now you CANNNOT press "F" to mark a sound of memory if you are not within the minimum range of action!

A big thanks to the user MrL0G1C that helped me fixed a bug with the Inspector's handbook!
