A Town Called Happenstance - Update #7
In this week's quick update we're introduced to several companies that share an office building with Montague Investigations Incorporated. Are they significant? Who knows. Well, I know. And I'm not giving anything away just yet.
And before you say anything, I've already fixed the spelling mistake :P
There's also a couple of other scenes I wanted to share with you here. When Carter goes to his office and uses his PC, I originally had a whole new level load, with a PC screen, that you could click on the emails, and when you exit, would return you back to the office. Then I realised that this was wholly unnecessary, and cut it out. This is one of the dangers of building something like this - you can easily head down a rabbit hole, and spend days building a system that is actually completely superfluous, and doesn't add anything to gameplay whatsoever. I achieved the same end result with just a few lines of dialog.
The final scene to share with you is the latest 'in progress' environment - O'Really's Bar. It's in no way ready yet, but I enjoyed figuring out how to get the floor lights flashing randomly, and the conversation with the barman is just so much fun, I wanted to share it.
So let me know if you like the writing, or even if you don't!
And finally, I'm pretty certain that I made up all the company names, and a quick google tells me I'm not stepping on any copyright, but if you do see something, please throw it in the comments!
Still reading? You've probably already subscribed then, but if by chance you haven't, it would make me just a little bit happier if you pressed that button. It costs you nothing, and you'll feel better knowing you helped make the world a better place.
Love and peace, stay healthy out there.
