Not only does this recognisable give Shadows of Doubt’s gumshoe action an intriguing (and even a little creepy) atmosphere, but hopefully it will help catch the eyes of some of Minecraft’s mammoth playerbase.

But beware, with a serial killer on the loose, you might find yourself making headlines for all the wrong reasons.Īs you can see from the short trailer above, Shadows of Doubt has an aesthetic immediately recognisable from the uber-popular block-builder Minecraft. Explore hotels, bars, apartments, casinos and more while gathering evidence and solving cases. D'AIR Aerial Dance Theatre is raising funds for 'Shadows of Doubt' on Kickstarter To create the speakeasy and elegant performance space for our 1920’s themed aerial dance theater production.

Players will take up the role of such a snooper and will be offered full freedom to explore a huge, living city. Shadows of Doubt is a neo-noir mystery game set within a highly-industrialised 1980s, where information is currency and a solid living can be made doing some serious snooping.

In the next dev blog I'll continue ranting about stuff! Stay tuned.Although it was only given a scant 30-second window during yesterday’s PC Gaming Show, ColePowered Games’ Shadows of Doubt was one of the more interesting titles to be showcased in the two hour-plus live stream and as such bears closer inspection. Not just objects the player is carrying or is in the immediate vicinity of, but every item in the world! Ouch.
Therefore when we save a game, we have to save everything. Due to the nature of the game, we can't always dictate what objects are valuable sources of information for a case. In short this is a bit of a special case minefield. There are plenty of special cases, however such as if an NPC steals an item and positions it in their home or elsewhere. There’s a serial killer on the loose, and it’s up to you to catch them by any means necessary: Sneak, tail, hide, hack and lock-pick. Generally, we have to look at the object's owner they have the 'power' to set the spawn locations of objects, so they can move them. Watch on About Shadows of Doubt First-person detective stealth game set in a fully-simulated sci-fi noir city. In order to solve this problem I had to come up with a 'relocation authority' system or a system dictating special cases on when we want items to reset and when we don't.
Well, what about litter? What about things the AI have deliberately moved for good reason? Wallets? Purses etc? We actually don't want everything to reset. That's great then tell things out-of-place to get reset to their original positions after a certain amount of time. Lots of things might get moved around by the player (say the player trashes an apartment or a bar), we don't want those objects to stay in their trashed positions forever as this is a simulation we would probably want the AI to put things back how they were eventually, or at least imply that and have everything be reset at some point. I'll also say that just because these bits have been difficult, it doesn't mean they haven't been fun to work on in fact, they've provided some of the best learning experiences of the project so far. This one is more about my role, which is mostly design, coding and project management. Perhaps we'll visit some of those in future blogs with the relevant team members. I should probably note this doesn't include challenges for writing, voxel modelling or audio work, ie the stuff I largely don't do. This month I've put together a list of some of the most challenging aspects of creating the project so far. Hello everyone! Welcome to a fresh new edition of the Shadows of Doubt dev blog. Be sure to wishlist on Steam, join our Discord or read previous dev blog entries here! A unique mix of procedural generation and hand-crafted design enables every room of every building to be explored. Shadows of Doubt is a detective stealth game set in a fully-simulated sci-fi metropolis! There’s been a murder and it’s up to you to solve it by any means necessary, with the condition that you keep a low profile.
