Individual Project
Spring 2018
**Planning to update the code, and fix bugs and such
OVERVIEW
The Perfect Murder is a Text Adventure game made for one of my classes at Montgomery College. Players play as a detective trying to investigative what seemed to be a “suicide”. They will have to find clues to see what truly happened, but in the end, players will need to see if their odds are in their favor or not to find the real culprit.
The things I worked on in this project were:
– Game Design
– Programming
– Debugging
– Design Documentation
– UI (HUD)
– Character Dialogue
– Sprite finder
I took inspiration from the Ace Attorney series to create this game. Some of the things I wanted to accomplish was being able to display the character’s inventory/clues as they picked them up. Also, give the feel that the player could explore “freely” and get engaged in the story.
