For those with resolution problems in 16:10 screens we did a small fix which should solve the problem.

Cheerios!

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.

The sequel to Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is out NOW!
Get it with a 10% discount.

Synopsy:
Someone has been killing passengers on the express train from Lisbon to Porto, every single day since Tuesday! Someone needs to stop the killer! Detective Case and Clown Bot to the rescue! Time to gather clues, solve puzzles, succeed trials, and find the culprit before the final station!

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... ;)

Here we go, 4 years later. Ufff!
And you know what they say! Better late than never! right?... err... ok.
Anyway we have 15 tracks, max Mp3 quality possible and all yours for the nicest price possible.

AVAILABLE NOW! -> MUST OWN SOUNDTRACK!



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...".

Hummmmm...
errrr...

AVAILABLE NOW! -> REALLY MUST OWN SOUNDTRACK!

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.

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.

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!

To celebrate 1 full year on Steam we decided to (again) to do a sale.
This time we included our mobile versions as well.

Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is this week on sale for 50% on Steam and also on the App Store and Google Play.

Thanks everyone for playing!

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.

If last time we went BANANAS, this time we are going PINEAPPLE!!!
50% DISCOUNT ON MURDER IN THE HOTEL LISBON!!!

Yes, yes, yes... I know. Last time we said it would take another 10 years until we did another discount but.... we are weak... and we need to eat, so.

WE ARE GOING BANANAS!!!

This week only! YES, ONLY THIS WEEK!
30% DISCOUNT!!! 30% DISCOUNT!!! 30% DISCOUNT!!!

...Ok, not really, maybe sometime in the next 10 years we will have another discount week but, RIGHT NOW, 30% DISCOUNT! sorry about the caps, we are really excited and hope to sell at least 10 more units with this awesome price

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!

For everyone who bought the game on our website, through Desura or the Indie Royale they should all get an equivalent Steam key right before release on a date yet to be announced.
