July 26th at 17:00 UTC Who would have thought… we are doing a Reddit AMA about Detective Case and Clown Bot games, as well as overall Nerd Monkeys’ related stuff. This feels a little bit weird because we’re so used to answering questions nobody asked us that usually escalates to security “inviting us” to leave the premises. This might actually be an interesting first! Are you as excited as we are? Can you ask us important and relevant questions or will we be bored to death? The link to access it will be ama.nerdmonkeys.pt but it only becomes accessible 30 minutes before it starts. However, you can and should visit it so you can add it to your calendar. ;) We are counting on the community to receive lots of interesting questions… and please… pleaaaaase don’t ask us where all the teeth are.

All right! Finally! The 1.07 update is up! Just in time for the launch of the Express Killer. Here are 3 of main things we did to our 4 year old game: Controller support You can now use a controller! Weird, right? After all, this is a "point'n'click" game, what happens when we ad controller support? I tell you what, nothing happens. It's just controller support! :) New engine The Express Killer is built on GMS 2.0 but Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is still in the old GMS 1.4 So we decided it would be great to push into the new one, this way we manage to keep up the support with newer chipsets and the game continues to run smoothly. More bugs crushed It sound weird but in the middle of all this we found more bugs! Amazing, right? Not really. We hate it. Specially me. I thought they were all squashed, but moving engines and adding controller support means new bugs. So, more play testing and more QA to get everything tight and nice. Oh well... Anyway, have fun with the new version. It should feel like a slicker faster version of the original, perfect for speed runs... ;)

Do you remember the one where you went all - "tada tata, tadatataaaaa, tadata, tadata, ta ta taaaaaa, ta taaa..." - or that other one where we all sang - "pubibidu bidu, pudibudi, parabadibada... ba da, ba da, baaaaa, da bada baaaa...".

Hey there fellow detectives! We know most of you already finished the game and are eager to play the sequel, but this is quite an important update. So, we grabbed all the work we were doing with the sequel and pushed it back into the original, not only because we care but also to keep everything up to parity with the features we are bringing into the sequel. This means new things for our 4 year old adventure. Controller support You can now use a controller! Weird, right? After all, this is a "point'n'click" game, what happens when we had controller support? I tell you what, nothing happens. It's just controller support :) New engine The Express Killer is built on GMS 2.0 but Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is still in the old GMS 1.4 So we decided it would be great to push into the new one, this way we manage to keep up the support with newer chipsets and the game continues to run smoothly.

Update 1.07 should be launched around the 10th of July. Have fun with the Steam sales!

Patch v1.04 available now
Hey there fellow detectives! Long time no see! How are your crime solving skills going!? Argh... who are we kidding... Look, it has been a long time and this patch is 2 years too late, we know, ok!? No more excuses, here are the patch notes:
- English revision. Somebody took the time to sit down and review it. Mistakes were corrected, bad jokes were reviewed and some other oddities cleaned. STILL. There might be a few mistakes hidden somewhere. Please let us know and we will fix it asap. We also promise to hire a professional team to translate the next game we release.
- Steam Cloud. We now support it. Well, it worked on our end so it should work on yours, right?
- Screenshots. They work! How amazing is that? It was such a silly thing that we are ashamed to even talk about it.
- Bugs squashed. Lot's of them. We read all of the complaints, put the game on a lot of people hands, and tested it all again. Let's hope that final interview thing and the Stand Up Clown thing doesn't pop up again.
Finally we need to let you know that we will be on top of things so, if you see any other issues, please let us know. Thanks for the support and to everyone who helped us out. And if you haven't yet left us a review, please consider taking some time to write a few words, Robot Clown loves reviews! ːfunnyclownbotːːfunnyclownbotːːfunnyclownbotː

Hello everyone, It's been a long time so here is a small but important announcement. The reason it has taken so long is because we have been working for the last 3 years on several projects here at Nerd Monkeys. Of course one of them is the new episode of Detective Case and Clown Bot, The Express Killer. The Express Killer has been coming along really well and we should (finally) be able to announce a release date around September. And for those of you who don't know already, this episode will be completely free to all those who bought the original already :) Thanks again for all the support. See you at some Portuguese summer festival!

THE MOST AWESOME RETRO SPACE CROSSOVER EVER!!!
Our old pal Detective Case got in a bit of a situation when he was sucked across SPACE and TIME into the dimension of Starr Mazer! How in blazes did this happen? How will he get back to the eighties? And do they sell beer in Jaruga’s? Who knows!?
Starr Mazer is a Point-and-Click adventure shoot’em up in SPACE!
It is currently being funded through Kickstarter and, according to our own magic ball, it will definitely get fully funded. So, what are you waiting for? An invitation!?
GO KICKSTARTER!!!

We are proud to announce that a mobile version of "Murder in the Hotel Lisbon" is coming to iOS and Android in January 2015. This version will keep all the features from the PC version plus a big sized magnifying glass to help you search for clues on these somewhat smaller screens. The work done to squash bugs and improve the game on these mobile versions will eventually come to the PC version as well in the form of a nice little patch.

Hi there Steam friends! Based on all the AWESOME fan feedback, we just updated the game to version 1.03! Uhuu! And what does that mean? It means we had to stop enjoying our vacations in Azores and get back to work ːcoolmonkeyːːcoolmonkeyːːcoolmonkeyː Anyway, here are the AWESOME changes: - We corrected all the typos and gramatical errors people found AND told us about. We can't actually correct what we don't know, right? - Anti-Social achievement is now more firmly secured! What does this mean? Well, let's say we are now double checking to make sure you get it instead of just relying solely on gnomes and fairies. - We double checked on current difficult achievements like the Cheapskate and Nerd Monkey to ensure they are actually working... they are! - Some bugs were cleaned, others were sent away. We are still checking why we can't use the screenshot feature. Our screenshot feature programmer is still on his deserved vacations so we will have to wait and see what is going on. For now that's it! Discuss what i just wrote or just advertise some weird stuff so you can get banned. Cheers!

- Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon Depot LINUX [48.02 M]
- Murder in the Hotel Lisbon - Soundtrack
Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is a videogame inspired by the classic point and click adventures from the 80’s and 90’s. It adopts these eras distinctive design and it is built using only the pixel art technique. The game itself runs at a native resolution of 256x192, the same resolution used by the old ZX Spectrum 48k and most recently by the Nintendo DS.
Synopsis:
A strange murder has occurred in the Hotel Lisbon, a man committed suicide with 14 stabs to the back while at the same time he peacefully drank his coffee.
This case with contradictory facts was too complex for Policeman Garcia to solve, so he decided to hire the only detective duo in town capable of solving it: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot.
Together, they will solve a network of love relations so complex and so intricate, that it would take at least 14 clairvoyants, 5 apocalyptic sect prophets who can predict the end of the world and 3 of those gypsies that can read the palm of your hand just to guess the final outcome.
Characters:
With the mythical Detective Case, also known as the world worst detective, a man so rough and rude that his witnesses would rather be run over by a slow moving freight train than to be questioned by him.
And the hilarious Clown Bot who, although he works as a Detective Case’s sidekick, he hopes in reality that one day he will get a job as a circus clown. Unfortunately, and no matter how many applications he sends, no circus will ever accept a clown that is afraid of children. He never sleeps, so besides working by day as a sidekick, he also works by night as a stand-up comedian in a local bar. People say that he is a joke machine.
Key features
Murder in the Hotel Lisbon has THOUSANDS of key features!- A point and click graphic adventure game.
- Play as Detective Case and Clown Bot.

Original soundtrack
Murder in the Hotel Lisbon may be low res and retro on the visual side, but we made sure that on the audio side your ears would rejoice with a complete original soundtrack. Composed of an orchestral band, a jazz band and a typical Portuguese Fado trio, the musical landscape contrasts beautifully with the colorful graphics.Game music
Throughout the game you will ear over 20 different tracks of orchestral music composed and recorded specifically for the game.
All these tracks were recorded on studio with a 10 member band composed of friends and colleagues. All of them brought their soul and heart to these recordings and the results are absolutely AWESOME!
Jazz music
Inside the GAF Bar, a 4 man band plays some cool Jazz.
The character at the Piano is actually Filipe Melo who is doing a cameo and allowed us the rights to use some songs recorded previously with John Ellis, Romeu Tristão and João Pereira! BAM!
Fado music
To top it all, inside the Noitadas Restaurante we have a Portuguese Fado trio ready to entertain the guests. The song they sing was also recorded on studio. It is called "A Caldeirada" and it was originally written for famous Fado singer Amália Rodrigues.
SUAVE!
