Devlog 19: File 02 Begins!
Time to reset the progress graph.

With the Hangouts finally released, this week I am starting production on File 02. As you can tell from File 01, there was a ton of new UI that I had to design and implement. With File 02, I don't need to design new UI, which will be a huge help in speeding up development time.
What you may not know about Methods is that I really completed all the extras fairly late into production, and I'm taking the same approach this time. With each File's release, I will gradually add more extras to the game, and my main focus is getting the actual chapter content done.
As I previously teased, File 02 takes place in Montreal! This file is a bit more lighthearted and should be fun to work on. I have mapped out an outline for the mystery already it was actually the first mystery I worked on since I thought it would be the hardest to come up with.
My task now is to begin writing!
Until next time!
LockedOn.

In the last few stages of the Canadian detective competition, Detective Larika Downs is determined to find out who could be running such a questionable contest. Joining her are Detectives Tads, Anadyne, Struess, and Viu. By working together, will they find out the truth?

It features a brand new story, a new cast of eccentric characters, and a new style of mystery-solving gameplay designed to present more of a challenge.
