Hi Nitsan! Thanks for playing the game. Glad you had fun with it!
Yeah the first level is meant to be longer. I ran out of time and had to cut it short and focus on ensuring the gameplay worked smoothly. The investigation at the The Nile Bar is not over and this was just the beginning of Jason's discovery of the Blood Empire. A lot of the gameplay aspects like Dawn's phone will be extended in the next version. They'll be other clues like the victims phone, laptops, murder weapons where you can detect whose blood it is and conversations will certainly be more in depth and guide the player to the correct areas, as bar PO Daniels initial guidance there isn't much. Also choices will play a bigger part and lead to others dying around you if you make the wrong choice.
Glad you liked the graphics and animations. They are my first lols. Never done any graphics or animations before, bar some terrible blender models. So I am glad they we well recieved! Yeah the music is banging and there are more songs I want to add in, but the main one was one of my favourites. But I can't take credit. That goes to White Bat Audio. Check out his channel on youtube https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteBatAudio/videos He does some great tunes royalty free and also compiles them into hour long videos, which I find are great for coding sessions.
Yeah just for the sake of not wanting to add useless items I took stuff out. There were meant to be keys, crowbars, murder weapons and more. But there use in the game hadn't been realised, so I took them out for now. Also combat was so close to being finished, but was too buggy and I wouldn't have been able to submit this on time. Another day or two and I think it would be ready.
Glad you enjoyed this! I enjoyed making this. I'll keep updating it on here and possibly put some demos and devlogs on youtube. Depending on time.
Also, your game looks really good. Very polished and very fun. Love the shapeshifting mechanic, mixed with sun chasing. Allows you to pull of some really sick combos to escape the sun. Haven't had a chance to finish the game fully yet, as I'm not very good lol, but looking to get to yours and a few others tomorrow, so I can review it properly :)
