- Moving forward with Murder Is Game Over #4 - 17 October 2024
Moving forward Ideally, I’d like to create something that combines my favorite elements of all 3 games: the open-world map layout from the first game, the memorable showdown with a powerful antagonist in the second game, and the spooky, suspenseful atmosphere of the third game. Overall I’ve been pleased with the responses to this game series and the calls to keep making more Murder Is Game Over games.

(Bonus) Best music – Paladin Dream I consider Paladin Dream to be my learning project, and it’s fairly primitive compared to what I’m capable of doing now. But the music is great. I really wanted to make a soundtrack worthy of comparison with the best RPGs and felt that there are times when that happens. I’m especially proud of the final b…

After developing and releasing 3 “Murder Is Game Over” titles in 2 years, I’ve had some time to pause and reflect on what I like most about each one. These are my thoughts on the series as a whole. Best exploration – Murder Is Game Over My initial concept for this game was to have a murder mystery that emphasized exploration much more inspired by RPGs than adventure games. In hindsight, the world design from the first game was well done in terms of giving the player freedom to move around the world at their choosing. The map shape is based on a series of interconnecting circles including the castle's ground floor, connecting the second floor and the sealed wing, and finally, a secret passage connecting the castle to the surrounding countryside. The method of murder also relies heavily on the way the map makes a seemingly inaccessible area easy to reach through a clever shortcut. Not onl…
