CASE FILE 13

Dear Mr. Champlain,

It seems I have encountered a foe of unimaginable intelligence, amazing cunning and the strength of a thousand men. His followers, I fear, watch my every move. I feel my darkest days growing nearer. I feel that only you can solve this mystery, solve this curse that hovers around me. All I know is that the man is a former associate of mine. Cain Freewheel.

He, whose days are numbered,
Maximillian Paddingtonsworth the IV


“Cain Freewheel?” Guy pondered aloud. “Now where have I heard that name before?” Guy’s assistant, Waldo Mackenzie, huffed as he relentlessly pursued a small piece of paper that had squirmed free of the binder he was placing on the shelf, now circling the room, following the path of the wind entering from the dusty, half-open window. Waldo turned to face Guy, and smiled, the usual fashion he did when he knew the answer. “Case File #4, I believe. Extortion, bribery and a few counts of murder, never managed to crop up enough proof to seal Mr. Freewheel, though.” Waldo continued to chase the piece of paper. “Ah yes, the Rose case… That was an exciting one, wasn’t it?” Guy remembered the forty diamond roses all lined up. They were so expensive, such beauty. They had been appraised at approximately $200, 000 each. Mr. Freewheel had allegedly creating an entire set of cheaply made fake roses, and sold them for $150, 000 each. In the end, Cain Freewheel lost millions. It seems burning down his favourite mansion, the only place where evidence could have been found, the feds assumed, took a financial and mental toll on Mr. Freewheel. Though, after that, he disappeared for awhile.

“Who did the roses go to?” Guy queried Waldo. Waldo had finally caught up to the piece of paper, and sweating, responded: “Charity auction… I believe an old British bloke bought ‘em, Paddington-something.” Guy laughed. “Our next case is open… What number is this?” he asked. Waldo smiled. “Number thirteen.”

This is the first tileset you will probably see in game, as it is the office tileset. It is 1/3 to 1/2 done. All tilesets are subject to change. Here's the actual tileset now(as of July 19th):

Can you possibly get more British than that? The name seems so absurd that it's splendid! This game seems to have plenty of potential- both as a decent mystery game and as a parody of the genre.

I really like the look of the tilesets- that office seems way too small, though, and the room off to the side looks odd. I hope it's just an example and not a real map.

Good luck with this. It has potential.

Ah yes, this is just me squeezing the tiles into a room. That's why there's examples of the tilesets and not real maps.

Yeah it's a parody of the genre, while being a mystery game as well.
Take a look at the name... Figure out the joke.

If you can't... google:

define:file 13
 
The Tileset looks really good.
I hope you get all that Stuff you said you had to have done within a week.
And I'll be available to do that Intro Remastering for you.
Post some screenshots as soon as you can.
And I hope you make that Demo Deadline.
 
LMAO!!

File 13 refers to a trash can. The phrase is especially used in the U.S. military, and is less common outside the United States. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the expression "round file" or "circular" is more common. Expressions such as "I'll place that memo in file 13" are often heard in offices as a joking way of saying "I'm going to throw away that memo.

This looks nice, I could lend a hand with the tiles (possibly), PM or MSN me if you want to talk about it (Durastik[at]gmail[dot]com).

Peace
