Filled with strange and interesting characters, The Colon Case will be a story-driven murder mystery. Interrogate potential suspects, search for clues, and follow the evidence to find the true killer in one of the most bizarre crimes of your career. The Colon Case will be built in C++ using the SFML library. It will be my first foray using the Tiled map editor. This project began on gamedev.net on December 29, 2020. I'll be starting a new channel on Youtube, and a new series of blog posts, to keep track of my progress.

I'm happy to say that the source code for The Colon C…

JsonCpp Library Changes, and a Shift to Considering Using CMake

For my current game under development, The Colon Case, I'll be using the Tiled map editor to build the tile sets and maps.  I'll also have lots of other game data, and I plan to store all of it in JSON format.

With my previous game, The Garden of Eating, I decided to use the JsonCpp library to …

The Colon Case - Character Movement and the Game Loop

I managed to get the player character responding to user input, including basic sprite animation, in reasonably short order!  The screen locks its view on the player while moving.  The grass graphic is temporary here -- it was one of the grass images from The Garden of Eating. ?

Development begins on my next game - a murder mystery

I've recently had a resurgence in motivation to get back going on some 2D game development.  This game will be called The Colon Case.  It's a story-driven murder mystery with a slight film noir edge.  You'll need to search for clues and interrogate potential suspects to solve a bizar…
