The Outer Islands changes
I noticed when playing a few games I really enjoy that it is really cool we can use a pen and paper in order to manage notes however, if you are on a laptop for example, or perhaps if you are - like me - terrible at finding a pen, then keeping clues in order can be a pain in the bum.
I don't want to make things too easy however Detective Shepherd has a photo area already for the photos taken and associated clues during investigation. Therefore it makes sense to add to this a clues board - a place that automatically stores and displays all the clues and information you, as Detective Shepherd, have found on your explorations. This way each section that you need to find your way through or solve the mystery for has an organised collection of clues and how they relate to people and places and things - this way you can deduce their purpose without having to hunt down various small pieces of paper that (in my case) my partner has cleaned up as your desk was a state...
So, I will post up images when it is ready - its lots of code at the moment and nodes and things. I will also be actively testing it inside of the Demo so that you can take it for a spin as soon as possible.
With that, stay warm, wear clean socks and talk soon!
