SHERLOCK: THE GAME IS ON

Hello! I'm a representative for the fandom-wide puzzle rpg project, Sherlock: The Game Is On.​
 ​
For more information, you can view our featured interview for The Daily Dot here: http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/sherlock-bbc-16-bit-rpg-game/
Or check out our official game development blog here: http://sherlock-thegame.tumblr.com/
 ​

_____________________________________________________​
 ​
GAME DESCRIPTION:

The game begins, of course, in 221B Baker Street. It takes place over the course of 3 months where you play as John Watson, blogger and crime solving partner of the great Sherlock Holmes. The object? Keep Sherlock's boredom meter from getting dangerously high by solving crimes—and keep your own money meter from getting too low.​
 ​
The gameplay consists of Ace Attorney style investigations as well as Professor Layton style logic puzzles.


 ​
 ​
Interested in Being A Part of the Development Team?
Our staff is currently made up of some of the most renowned writers and artists in the Sherlock fandom. We have over 100 talented artists, writers, and audio engineers all diligently working to produce art and storylines for the game. Though most of our staff is already in place, recruitment is still open for the following teams:
 ​
writers​
illustrators​
pixel artists​
puzzle designers​
sound designers (composers)​
staff assistants​
translators​
specialist consultants​
 ​
For more information about each staff position and to see how you can qualify, view our application procedure at http://sherlock-thegame.tumblr.com/apply
(Right now, we are specifically on the lookout for talented composers and pixel artists. But we will consider applications for other positions as well.)
Volunteering and Scheduling:

Due to the fact that our development team is completely composed of volunteers, we always make sure that each member’s workload remains reasonable. Many of the members of our staff are either in the workforce or are currently pursuing a major, masters, or PhD in their field. Since they are all graciously volunteering their time between their busy schedules, we are extremely flexible in negotiating deadlines and distributing tasks evenly throughout individual development teams.​
 ​
OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK:
 ​
 ​
We're currently in need of more composers for our sound design team.​

The production values of this look fantastic. Any chance of seeing the Sherlock busts too? :D


Great mapping and everything though, I can verify the authenticity of the buildings and colours!


P.S: I'm trying to fill out your online thing for Writing, but it doesn't seem to do anything when clicking on a position or when clicking 'next'?


EDIT: Wait a second. Unity?

But it's been a year and a half since the creator posted here. Is he still making this game?

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
